A victim of convicted sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein has revealed how a group of survivors is compiling a client list of their own.
CNN: Democrats say 97% of the Epstein documents released last night were already public. What do you say to that? COMER: Well, the 3% that weren't public, that's 3% more than Joe Biden released when he was president. Look, President Trump is complying with our subpoena.
Trump threatening members of Congress not to sign the Epstein files discharge petition saying it would be a “hostile act” against him is definitely something an innocent person would do. And scheduling a military flyover in the middle of the survivor press conference is also totally normal behavior.
We can dismiss Susie as a serious human.
If crypto’s a casino, fine—let adults gamble. But with the President holding billions, private losses risk becoming public bailouts. When it tanks, taxpayers become the lender of last resort. Gains privatized, losses socialized.
Guess which network is ignoring the survivors? Fox isn’t news.
Grand Old Pedophiles propaganda channel: Fox “News.”

Do not expect Republicans facing Epstein victims to find any moment of decency or realization. They knowingly, gleefully and repeatedly pledged their loyalty and soul to Trump, a criminal felon found liable by a unanimous jury for sexual assault in an act described by the presiding judge as rape.
If the GOP is cool with going to the “war department” then you know they just have no independent thought left. Just betas
Every word, every breath, every time, every day is a lie. And they only lie without ceasing because they believe their own voters are too stupid to know or too cultified to care.
It’s Chicago.

Granted, I’m just 15 minutes into “Gershwin’s ‘Rhapsody in Blue’: A Jazz-Age Drama,” but the entry into this latest solo episode of “The Bowery Boys” New York history podcast is some virtuoso writing. @boweryboys.bsky.social #nychistory #nycpodcast #nyc #boweryboys
Good chance the fascist Trump will announce more attacks on United States cities today — part of his all-out assault on America PLUS an attempt to shift attention from his deep involvement with Epstein, Congressional Republicans' budget crisis, the mounting hate for him and his own wretched health.
Concern over low birth rates was what the theocracy in Margaret Atwood’s Handmaid’s Tale used to come to power.
Nadler ‘said that under the leadership of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Israel was committing mass murder and war crimes in Gaza “without question.”’
Looks like we may soon be looking at a President Vance. Reminder to decent Americans: Assuming it’s during the current term, this will be a development to celebrate. BUT … when that moment comes, we intensify resistance and pressure until this Republican fascist movement is completely annihilated.
50-50 he doesn’t know where he is.

Pure fucking evil. Everyone involved in this shit needs to be held accountable.
One of the weirdest statements you will ever read.
Fifty-one of the 85 Federalist papers were written by a guy born in Nevis.
On America’s long list of evil, corrupt villains, second is John Roberts & Republicans on SCOTUS. They do have knowledge, ability & intellect. They presumably do not have sociopathy, extreme narcissism or dementia. Which, in some ways, makes them worse than the monster they work so hard to protect.
There’s a special place in hell for morons who get millions of people killed.
Fatality.
Let’s just say there’s a bottle of champagne waiting.
Did they rush him to Four Seasons Urgent Care?
“Land doesn’t vote. People do.”
Donald Trump incited a violent coup to overthrow the 2020 election and hold onto power. It will never be ok that he was not held accountable, including banning him from ever again holding public office.

“…I am infuriated that the Air Force plans to grant military funeral honors to Ashli Babbitt. She did not die defending the Constitution. She died trying to overturn it.” My latest in @thebulwark.com www.thebulwark.com/p/honoring-a...
A lot of impressive, new players to watch! #askwxm
The one thing you really don’t want to do is listen to the Paramount+ in-studio analysis. For EFL, it’s usually somewhere between awful and embarrassing. #askwxm
No. Watching Paramount+ listening iFollow.
Defense seems competent and confident but, to be honest, I’d be happy not watching them quite so much. #askwxm
See what you did there.
Maybe no single, egregious call, but this referee seems to make a lot of small, poor decisions. #askwxm
Been a while since I can recall so many long balls played by both teams. #askwxm
Cacace seems to provide a sense of calm and control. #askwxm
What were we applauding for? #askwxm
Sounds like “Jojo Rabbit”!
What must it be like to know perfectly well that when you die the entire world will celebrate like it hasn't since April 30, 1945?
gosh I wonder why they fired this bro
This interview, which is also available to listen to as a podcast, provides a useful overview of some of the dangerous trends we’ve been seeing in recent months regarding federalization and militarization of state and local police functions.
There is not one sane, decent human in the entire Trump administration. Not one.
Hope SCOTUS enjoys being treated like Trump’s lapdog
Stevie has achieved perfect scalp equilibrium, identically matching the number of brain cells inside his head with the number of long hair shafts outside his head.

If Ashli Babbitt's parents really wanted to avenge her death they would, instead of pitifully whitewashing her legacy, be suing Fox News for filling their child's gullible head with dangerous nonsense that directly led to her death.
I’ve never applauded jury nullification. Until now. Free DC.
Clearly, Charlie has no penis.
Reuters: MOST TRUMP TARIFFS ARE NOT LEGAL, U.S. APPEALS COURT RULES

So not only do churches NOT have to pay taxes, they're going to get YOUR tax dollars to boot. This seems like oh, I don't know, government establishing a religion in violation of the First Amendment?
BREAKING: James Talarico just gave one of the best speeches we've seen this year. Every American needs to see this.
This hurts. I understand, but it still hurts. Ollie Palmer will always be our hero.
He’s the Vice President of the United States. He could actually *do* something about this instead of just play pretend games.
We don’t have to be helpless. We don’t have to wait. Founders knew this might happen. Our Constitution hands us the solution. He could be out of office by lunch tomorrow.
NOW. Everyone. At Once. Together. NOW is the time — and there's still a chance to keep this fascist attack from taking root. America can win this fight, but it will take all of the good people. All at once. All together.
Yes, the United States of America is now leader of our contemporary Axis of Evil.
Excellent:
This is insanity. This is the sign of a government that has lost its mind.

BREAKING: Big moment as CDC staff stage a mass walkout. They have lined the street outside its HQ to greet and salute the four top officials who have resigned in protest at RFK Jr’s attack on the agency’s science base. (🎥 AP)
This both heart warming and a deep tragedy
NOW. Everyone. At Once. Together. NOW is the time — and there's still a chance to keep this fascist attack from taking root. America can win this fight, but it will take all of the good people. All at once. All together.
The Democratic base + decent anti-Trump people are craving someone to lead them in proper resistance NOW, not just cynically positioning themselves for 2028. The CDC walkout is the kind of organic moment that a real leader would run with and use as a springboard for more acts of visible defiance.
Ashley Babbit dishonored her service by committing insurrection against her country. While her death is absolutely tragic and I wish it hadn’t happened, the Air Force giving her honors is in itself a dishonor.
But he doesn’t (or can’t) read, so he still wouldn’t have known.
Brutal. A humiliation ritual.
Undermining the Fed to get lower rates now is like ripping the batteries out of your smoke alarm because it’s beeping. It’s quiet for a bit. Then your house burns down. Credibility anchors expectations; expectations anchor inflation.
We don’t have to be helpless. We don’t have to wait. Founders knew this might happen. Our Constitution hands us the solution. He could be out of office by lunch tomorrow.
Republicans must be celebrating, because they actively intervened to make this far more likely. And I don’t want to hear “too soon” anymore; Republicans have forced a violent gun culture on us where this happens so often that any given moment is “too soon” after the last and not long until the next.

There’s a very good chance this could have been prevented and these murdered children would be returning to their families after school. Republicans must be celebrating this, because they actively intervened to make this shooting far more likely.
Frey: And don't just say, this is about thoughts and prayers right now. These kids were literally praying. It was the first week of school. They were in a church.
But tons and tons of meaningless “thoughts and prayers.”
Yes, the United States of America is now leader of our contemporary Axis of Evil.
Note that they are lowering educational standards for federal officers to swell the ranks of ICE, so we’ll be lucky if future law-enforcement has high school degrees
A 1955 writer casually dropping a “Germans tended to go along with Nazis just like your all-American wife goes along with segregation” is both the answer and the question for “how we got here”
If we survive their attack on America, Republicans will never be able to credibly criticize any Democratic president or any Democratic senator or any Democratic member of Congress or any Democratic cabinet member about anything ever again.
Moore: "The thing that gets me most about this is how deeply disrespectful this is to members of the National Guard who signed up for this job as I did when I deployed overseas & led paratroopers in combat where we signed up w/the expectation the commander in chief was actually taking it seriously"
"For those people out there who ... say, 'Well, I just don't like those people either' ... You could be next. ... This is not about any one individual, this is about our rights as Americans, and our right to have a justice system where choices about prosecuting are made without fear or favor."
Climate change comes at bridges, roadways, buildings. Republicans with pockets stuffed with fossil fuel money pretend it isn’t real.
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
They’re making fun of the media referring to Kilmar Abrego Garcia as a Maryland man as they threaten to send him to Uganda, a country where he’s never lived. They’re simply fucking vile.
These MAGAs got played sooooooo bad even I'm embarrassed for them.
The antiwar president wants to change the Department of Defense’s name to the Department of War. 🤷🏽♂️
Kamala Harris nailed it. We warned everyone the stakes were too high to hand the guy built for Project 2025 another shot — but noooo. Ever have one of those mornings you just want to throw the window open and yell, FUCK YOU ALL? Yeah, that.
