Massie (R-KY) is just on fire: "I don't know if that's precedented in this country to have a president call legislators to say that they're engaged in a hostile act, particularly when the so-called hostile act is trying to get justice for people who've been victims of sex crimes." #TrumpEpstein
The guy that ordered 8 fighter jets to perform a low altitude fly-over in an effort to drown out Epstein survivors is the same guy who wants you to believe he's innocent.

He’s mocked all over the world.
Pay very close attention. On the campaign trail, Trump promised to release the Epstein files. Now that survivors are naming him as Epstein’s close friend, he’s calling it a “hoax.” Miss me with that bullshit.
Narrator: That is not in fact a legal authority.
We are demanding today that all of the Epstein files be released. We have 212 Democrats and 4 Republicans. We need just two more signatures to force the release, so we gather here to confront these corrupt forces. Any Republican brave enough to stand up?
They want to keep releasing the same Epstein documents and hope we’re too stupid to notice.
"Sir, they obviously must love you now in Albaniazermeniajistan. By the way, where exactly is that, and do you have any plans to visit there soon?"
It Can't Happen Here, by Sinclair Lewis. A vain, outlandish, anti-immigrant, fear-mongering demagogue runs for President and wins. The story of Buzz Windrip, who promises poor, angry voters that he will make America proud and prosperous once more, but takes the country down a far darker path.
McGovern: "You guys think you work for Trump ... Let me repeat -- every single Republican on the Rules Committee voted against releasing the Epstein files. Every single one. We heard last night that all Republicans want full transparency. But that's just not true."
Just thinking about Operation Jade Helm (a low interference national military operation in rural Texas in 2015) and the absolute OUTRAGE about it from the right. (And how that outrage was fueled by Russians) www.texastribune.org/2018/05/03/h...
The president is using the military to dismantle cities that didn't vote for him The president is using the military to distract from women speaking out against his and Jeffrey Epstein's sexual abuses. We are not living in ordinary times. Extraordinary responses are called for.
The Trump administration thought they could scare Mohsen Mahdawi into silence by detaining him for his advocacy in support of Palestinian human rights. But he is proof that the First Amendment is stronger than the government.
More of this.
Massie: "The Speaker of the House just offered a fig leaf to my colleagues. They're gonna vote on a non-binding resolution today that does absolutely nothing ... they're allowing the DOJ to curate all of the information that the DOJ is giving them ... the perpetrators are being protected"

The president is sending the military to control American cities and if you're a reporter who's framing that illegal power grab as "pushing the boundaries of constitutionality" or "acting boldly to fight crime" or whatever, please go find another line of work where you won't get us all killed.
To be a political reporter in 2025, you have to be gullible enough to believe that a convicted felon who launched a violent coup attempt is worried about crime. Or you just have to be willing to pretend you’re that gullible. Either way, we deserve better.

They prefer to skip over the well regulated militia part
Not a very long path from "Why wouldn't you want the regime to deploy federal troops in your city when it reduces carjackings?" to "Why would you be opposed to the erection of internment camps for deviants when it reduces crime?" And a good chunk of mainstream media will just follow along.
#Pinks “From a purely psychological perspective, Newsom is getting more right than his critics realize. Research on anti-bullying interventions shows that having “social referents” deliver anti-conflict messages is more effective than traditional top-down approaches.” medium.com/@carmitage/b...
They're releasing the Epstein files?
Ha. Haha. Haaa. I get it.
Over 300 MILLION American citizen's files stolen by DOGE. Why can't 1 person with access steal the EPSTEIN Files? #LEAKtheEPSTEIN_Files
Oh
Image caring more about stopping a memorial for people killed in a mass shooting than stopping mass shootings. #Priorities
He should tell his grandson he was on two seasons of The L Word
Initially a lot of people were being sent to Krome, but now most people I have been working with are being sent to Fort Bliss in Texas. I have also seen some people sent to the Glades County Detention Center.
You’ll notice that propagandists like Jake Tapper no longer have a problem with older age in office nor do they mention the orange felon’s obvious mental and physical decline.
Conclusive proof thoughts and prayers don’t work: he’s fine.
my father-in-law is a “I know a guy” Guy. sadly all the old Guys are aging out of the Guy Economy. Guys are fundamentally incompatible with Hustle Culture because it’s not about “winning” a deal, it’s about collecting favors and goodwill in a mutually-beneficial cycle. protect your local Guy Economy
One more clue about when he thinks America was great
RFK Jr. taps his top deputy, Jim O’Neill, to be the new CDC director. Both men appear to wear skinny ties from Otaa. Otaa's ties are made in China from microfiber, a kind of plastic that, under the right conditions, can migrate to your balls.

The rise of a fascist leader in Germany led to genocide and a disastrous war that killed millions of Germans, but only 25 years later, Germany had regained its standing as a prosperous industrial power. Could the same thing happen here?

For those of you who don’t like to open links or don’t have instagram. I downloaded the video for you. If you haven’t heard about this guy before don’t scroll past it, his name is Jesse Welles. I promise you won’t be disappointed. #jessewelles #wellesmusic #thekaelosproject #kaelos #wordshaveweight
Kilmar Abrego Garcia wasn’t eligible for asylum because it had been more than a year since he entered the country. So Kristi Noem allowed him to reenter again this year, resetting the clock. He has now applied. Kristi is smart that way.
They’re going to rebrand it as the Centers for Disease Creation
Our President keeps insisting prices are going to drop by 1400%, 1000%, or some other number that’s mathematically impossible. That he can’t do simple math isn’t the problem, it’s that he’s lying to America while things are getting more expensive because of his bad choices.
I have five kids, so it’s that time of day where I need to scroll through reels and TikTok to find a video that matches each of their professions or likes or pet peeves and send them at least one to let them know I love them… #MomofGenZers
If Cracker Barrel sets them off, imagine how they’ll react when they hear I went woke in the New Testament — turning the other cheek, feeding the poor, all that radical stuff.
got my annual "flu vaccine available!" text from my pharmacy and it concludes with "Which vaccines you get is a personal decision. Your health, your way." cool
AMERICA: “It’s a mental health issue.” REST OF THE WORLD: “We have those. But don’t have mass shootings.” AMERICA: “It’s video games.” WORLD: “We have those too. But don’t have mass shootings.” AMERICA B: “It’s cause they took Jesus out of the classroom.” WORLD: “God, you’re stupid.”
Update: it got funny again
I’m not a huge Taylor fan, but my girls are. I saw that Charlie Kirk responded to her engagement to Travis Kelce by telling her to submit and be a good wife. She’s a billionaire. Travis is not. That tells you all you need to know. As a woman, you can never achieve enough success for them…

The mental health benefits of not knowing any history right now must be massive. Moving through your day with total equanimity. What happens next? Who knows? Maybe something good
Those Reform nutjobs reminded me: "Being British is about driving in a German car to an Irish pub for a Belgian beer, grabbing an Indian curry or Turkish kebab takeaway, then going home to sit on Swedish furniture & watch American shows on a Japanese TV, while being suspicious of anything foreign."
Government so small it’s literally just one dude.
🙃
It’s continues to be despicable how the media has spent a decade normalizing the orange felon so much so that they are reporting on his authoritarian militarization of Washington DC as if it were a routine military exercise. They deliberately failed democracy for clickbait.
Blast from the past
Jesus Christ. If your credit isn’t frozen at all three bureaus, I would strongly consider doing that now
I was worried they were starting to get it. It doesn’t appear that will happen anytime soon though.

Constituent: You talked about abuses in the medicare and medicaid system and I found interesting that the president pardoned someone that defrauded the medicaid system for $1.3 billion
If the Democrats fuck this up, it's over.
Walz: "It boggles my damn mind that in the midst of a military takeover of our cities, the flaunting of the rule of law, that the press finds the need to talk about, 'Oh, there's a division in the Dem Party.' There's a division in my damn house & we're still married and things are good. That's life"
When you look at Kilmar Abrego Garcia & all the Gov employees, from the repulsive useless piece of shit Bondi through the ICE agents illegally kidnapping him, the only crimes committed were by the US Government (from top to bottom). Why would the World Cup & Olympics want to be associated with THAT?
This will make Chuck Koch, one of the sponsors of Project 2025, very happy
1) ABC/NBC should lose license or pay hefty fees because their reporting is mean to him. 2) MD should maybe lose bridge repair funds because Wes Moore was mean to him. 3) The feds should investigate Chris Christie for Bridgegate because he was mean to him.
