Just a reminder, “Epstein” is the name of the sex trafficker.

The president is called “Epstein’s monster.”

A tweet from “Adam Mockler @adammockler” reads: “Stephen Miller just went on Fox News and said telling troops to refuse illegal orders is an ‘open act of insurrection.’ He is telling on himself. They are planning to give illegal orders, and they want a military that will follow them blindly.”

This young man has it exactly right.

Trump Wants to End Mail-In Voting Ahead of Next Year’s Midterms (Gift Article) The president does not have the power to unilaterally change voting laws, and any executive order regarding elections is likely to see immediate legal challenges.

Attempts to end mail-in voting are part of President Trump’s larger strategy to remove checks on presidential power by making it harder for voters to hold politicians like him accountable at the ballot box.

The Constitution is clear: The president has no power to change election laws.

In 2019 RFK Jr went to Samoa and spread misinformation about measles vaccines that led to a deadly outbreak that killed 80+ people.

He should have been charged, but instead was appointed to lead America’s top health agency and control the largest public budget for medical research in the world.

Donald Trump's New 'Get Out Of Court Free' Card Trump keeps invoking national security to enact his policies — and it's all a ploy to get more power.

Claiming something is about “national security" is not a blanket excuse to violate our civil liberties.

The Trump administration is not above the law — and we won’t stop fighting to hold it accountable.

Fascism.

People being disappeared by secret police.

It’s fascism.

Secret police.

People being disappeared by unidentifiable members of state security forces (presumably but who fucking knows).

Being abused & denied due process.

Like what the fuck more do we need?

Police escort Texas Democrats to prevent new redistricting walkout as California moves to retaliate Texas Democrats have ended a two-week walkout that stalled efforts to redraw congressional districts as part of a national partisan brawl over President Donald Trump’s desire to reshape U.S.

Love AP but think that "police are going to make sure that Texas Dems do what trump wants them to" might be a better headline.

Putin “wants to make a deal for me,” implying the Russian leader prefers him personally as a partner. Put simply, Trump shrugged off elections as optional and cast himself as Putin’s chosen dealmaker proof that in his world, democracy is expendable but his ego is not.

Two big takeaways from yesterday. First, by “joking” that if the U.S. were at war in 2028 there would be “no more elections,” brushing aside the constitutional mandate for regularly scheduled votes. Then later, when a hot mic caught him telling French President Macron that

Thank you, Boston Globe. This is how it's done.

Trump pledges effort to eliminate mail-in voting The president has for years railed against the system, arguing it led to election fraud in 2020.

Mail-in voting is vital to ensuring people can exercise their right to vote, especially those with disabilities and transportation challenges.

President Trump's attempts to discredit mail-in voting and voting machines are designed to undermine elections where he doesn't like the results.

Pentagon plan would create military ‘reaction force’ for civil unrest Documents reviewed by The Post detail a new National Guard mission that, if adopted, would require hundreds of troops to be ready around-the-clock.

Uh oh.

"The Trump administration is evaluating plans that would establish a 'Domestic Civil Disturbance Quick Reaction Force' composed of hundreds of National Guard troops tasked with rapidly deploying into American cities facing protests or other unrest."

Immigrant detentions in NJ and Pa. rise as more people without criminal records are held Detentions in the two states are up two-thirds since January. The increase has come from people ICE classifies as non-criminal.

The number of people detained in ICE custody in New Jersey and Pennsylvania was up about 68% in July compared to figures at the start of President Donald Trump’s administration.

And here you go. I honestly do not understand the moral cowardice that leads some of our fellow citizens to not speak out against what's going on.

Prague, 23 November 1911 Highly esteemed Mrs. Curie, Do not laugh at me for writing you without having anything sensible to say. But I am so enraged by the base manner in which the public is presently daring to concern itself with you!? that I absolutely must give vent to this feeling. However, I am convinced that you consistently despise this rabble, whether it obsequiously lavishes respect on you or whether it attempts to satiate its lust for sensationalism! I am impelled to tell you how much I have come to admire your intellect, your drive, and your honesty, and that I consider myself lucky to have made your personal acquaintance in Brussels. Anyone who does not number among these reptiles is certainly happy, now as before, that we have such personages among us as you, and Langevin(3) too, real people with whom one feels privileged to be in contact. If the rabble continues to occupy itself with you, then simply don't read that hogwash, but rather leave it to the reptile for whom i

einstein sent this to curie in 1911 when she was being harassed by tabloids. it contains everything you’d want in such a letter:

(1) your haters are trash
(2) you’re a baller, a true queen
(3) i have determined the statistical law of motion of the diatomic molecule in planck’s radiation field 🧪⚛️
