I think Donald Trump deserves a new nickname based on the new revelations:

"Intern."

If you have to explain the clever nickname, maybe it’s a sign it’s not all that clever.

The (?) for his wife is just peak Trump. Why should anyone care what Bubba Blower does?

Impeach Speaker Johnson for denying Arizona representation,
to protect President Trump from the public release of The Epstein files.
To obstruct justice & witness tamper by quid pro quo. To engineer a pardon for, coconspirator & convicted sex offender Ghislane Maxwell.

File Articles of Impeachment

🤬🤬

Not only that, we've *actively seen* how the current DOJ is screwing over their own cases by maintaining a public without.

I mean, we've always known they are malicious prosecution cases but people act like "following actual legal and due processes" is somehow an insidious conspiracy.

Jeffrey Epstein in 2018: "i know how dirty donald is."

(P.s. Not advocating for mutinies, as nowadays people need that *explained* for some reason... But it *is* what happens...)

"We can't afford this..."

A tagline whenever people talk about the budget...

They dont realize what theyre really saying is "we dont have the money to save your life."

And when billionaires have access while others are condemned to death, well...

That's the story of soooo many mutinies...

No, whats illegal is using the power of the presidency to silence critics.

Most horrifying thing seen this halloween

Any CEO who can't pay their employees a living wage so they can save up at least 6 months rent should never receive government subsidies or contracts again because wow, stop smoking crack

At 3:17 PM, a Facebook post from a local parents' group called me a poisoner of children. By 5:00 PM, they were threatening to call the school board and the local news. My crime? I'm Margaret Miller, but the kids just call me Ms. Peggy. I’m the high school librarian at Jefferson High. Most days, my job is whispering. I help freshmen understand what a "primary source" is. I find quiet kids a fantasy series to escape into. I teach seniors how to spot fake news on their feeds. Yesterday, my job required a microphone. The post that went viral in our small Ohio town was from a parent leader, Karen Fields. She wrote that our library shelves were hiding “graphic filth” and “anti-American propaganda.” The screenshots she shared were torn from context, just like they always are. A single paragraph from a novel about slavery. One illustrated panel of two boys holding hands. Screenshots move faster than context. By 4:00 PM, my inbox was full of rage. I could have locked the doors. I could have written a defense. Instead, I brewed a large pot of coffee, straightened my cardigan, and taped a handwritten sign to the glass doors: OPEN SHELF NIGHT. 8 PM. ASK ME ANYTHING. ALL BOOKS ON TRIAL.

The first to arrive were the quiet ones. A few teachers, exhausted after grading. Our local pastor. A grandparent who’d donated the beautiful quilt that hangs above our reading nook. Then came the heat. A man filming with his phone on a selfie stick. Four parents wearing matching "Parents for Principles" t-shirts. A handful of others clutching those printed-out screenshots like they were arrest warrants. And finally, Karen Fields herself. Beside her, silent and drowning in his hoodie, was her son, Tyler. He clutched a sketchbook to his chest. I stood by the circulation desk. The room was tense. "Thank you all for coming," I said, my voice steadier than I felt. "There are no secrets here. Here's the plan. First, I'll explain how we choose our books. Second, we will look at any book, any page, you want to see. I will answer every question. If I don't know the answer, I'll say so." "Do you have a parental control option?" a man in the back called out. "We do," I said, nodding. "It's an opt-out form. You can list specific titles, authors, or entire genres you don't want your child to check out. We keep it on file, and we honor it. Period. Your rights as a parent always come first in this library." I saw a few people blink. They hadn't expected that. The man with the camera looked disappointed.

I clicked to a slide. Our policy. The review journals we use (from School Library Journal to Kirkus). The committee that approves new books: two teachers, a counselor, two parents, a student, and me. No secret society, just long meetings and spreadsheets. "Let's see the filth," Karen said, holding up her phone. "Page 90." "Great choice," I said. I retrieved five copies of the novel. "Page 90 is a scene where the main character, a teenage boy, is describing his depression. It's raw, and it's hard to read." I waited as they read it. "Now," I said gently, "please read page 92." A man scoffed. "What's on page 92?" "That's where he calls a suicide hotline," I said. "And page 93 is where he tells his mom. We don't stock this book to show kids the poison. We stock it to show them the antidote." The room was quiet. We kept going. The graphic novel with the same-sex crush. "It's two panels," I explained. "No 'smut.' Just two awkward kids figuring out who they are. It's sweet." A history book was labeled "anti-American" for a chapter on the Japanese-American internment camps during World War II.

"It is American history," I said. "It's a hard part of our history, but it's ours. We can't be proud of our triumphs if we choose to be ignorant of our failures. Our job isn't to make kids comfortable. It's to make them think." I explained that we shelve novels about the Vietnam War that show both heroism and horror, because truth is rarely just one thing. We were an hour in when a small voice came from the back. "Do you have... do you have anything about feeling... stuck?" It was Tyler. His hoodie was down now, his face pale. He was looking at his shoes. "Like, you draw," he mumbled, holding up his sketchbook. "But it feels like your head is just... full of static. And you can't... you know." Karen grabbed his arm. "Tyler, not now." "Stuck," I repeated, walking toward him. "I know that feeling." I went to the YA graphic novel section and pulled a book. Not a "problem" book, just a story about a teen who uses his art to climb out of a dark place after his parents' divorce. "This one's helped a few of our art kids," I said softly, handing it to him. "You can read the first few chapters right here. Your mom can sit with you. If she hates a page, you can skip it." Karen Fields stared at the book in her son's hands. The anger on her face, so certain and hot, finally cracked. It collapsed into a mother's worry, which looks a lot like fear. "I'm just trying to protect him," she whispered.

I don't know if this is a real story, but it is real.

We are going through scary times; scary because a lot of that fear is borne from ignorance. But knowledge has nothing to hide.

It's the same with bullies. They cannot terrorize those who embraces joy. Those who laugh rather than shout back.

"Had a great relationship with Trump" and "Cannot stand her these days" are not mutually exclusive, Mrs. Loomer. I hope you understand that.

And one who absolutely peacefully invited you to the white house and established a peaceful transfer of power.

By the actual law? Or by what you wish the laws were? Because challenges to green card holders, legal permanent residents, and birthright citizenship makes me doubtful.

Nuclear Option is still not caving to what the Dems want. But it does showcase a weak deal maker that he cant get his coalition plus 7 to agree to anything.

That's less than a quarter of the other side. That's pathetic.

This is the motion that should kill that whole case. Doesn’t matter if someone else steps in to bring the case in place of Halligan.

Proper response: "Okay, whats your probable cause?"

Half tempted to feed into this: "Wow, the Democratic establishment is so strong that even when they're not in power, Trump and the GOP are too weak to fend them off. Best to just give up now, you can't seem to win ever."

Yes - and that is in part an effect of the Dem gerontocracy we're living under.

Hey, Mike Johnson, admitting he needs the Democrats to come to the table and help! Acceptance is always the first step towards healing, Little Johnson.

Wait, is the New York Post endorsing Mamdani? Because this *sounds* like an endorsement to me...

I only approve of this naming because things are usually named after people who died...

Using his own money. Every cent he's earned from this presidency needs to go back to the American people, as well as every cent his sycophants and family have earned off the grift.

This is what I said. No one is following any rules. Get another ranking House member to swear her in and move on. Dare Johnson to do something about it because then he’d have to explain why he hasn’t sworn her in

He's so transparent, he calls himself the Secretary of War...

And that's something, given Kevin McCarthy.

Based Mike Lee is just sad that no one wanted to invite him to the party...

(Also, look at these "dangerous Hamas-supporting Antifa types..." Pick a lane on your narratives...)
