AOC: "It is unconscionable that what we are debating right now is legislation that will give 8 senators over $1 million a piece & we're robbing people of their food assistance & healthcare to pay for it. How can we vote to enrich ourselves by stealing from the American people?"

Table showing the five richest men in the U.S from Bloombergs billionaire list ., all in technology. Elon Musk tops the list with a net worth of $461B and a year-to-date gain of $28.2B. Larry Ellison is second at $300B with a $107B YTD gain. Jeff Bezos has $268B (+$29.5B YTD), Larry Page $250B (+$81.9B YTD), and Sergey Brin $234B (+$75.5B YTD). Each row also lists last-day change, country (all United States), and industry (all Technology).

Kind of wild that while food assistance was withheld from millions of families, one Trump-supporting billionaire (Ellison) saw his net worth grow more this year than the entire SNAP budget. And the YTD gains of the other four richest men would’ve fully covered salaries for all 2M federal employees.

For years they droned on about “the Deep State” - a powerful cabal that controlled everything.

Then they set their sights on “the Epstein list” - a powerful cabal that preyed on children.

(Spoiler: it’s the same cabal)

Now they’re in power, guess who is protecting this cabal?

They are.

Odd.

Why is Ghislaine Maxwell in a minimum security camp getting special treatment? #EpsteinTrumpCoverUp

The panicked arm-twisting begins to avoid that discharge petition. 🤡

Can we just take a minute and acknowledge that our POTUS is right OUT IN THE OPEN lobbying Congressional members to vote against releasing the Epstein files?! Like... what the fuck else does anyone even need to know?

All the horrible men are horrible, it turns out.

Annie Karni @anniekarni Trump himself called Boebert, regarding her signing onto the Epstein petition and spoke to her yesterday, I am told. Trump playing phone tag with Mace. So far, they are not planning to remove their names from the petition.

this should be obvious but the reason Trump is working desperately against Epstein transparency is because he's guilty

NOW YOU'RE TALKING. Keep the focus on the party that caused this.

Poverty is a policy decision.

Concentrated wealth is a policy decision.

Inequality is a policy decision.

Remember this.

If child sexual abuse and an Epstein link can turn a prince into a former prince, it can turn a president into a former president. Release the Epstein files. @crustnews

"It is unconscionable that what we are debating right now is legislation that will give 8 members of the United States Senate over $1,000,000 a piece and we are robbing people of their food assistance and healthcare to pay for it. How is this even on the floor!?"

Rep. AOC

Today is a good day to remember, and to say, that the #MeToo movement was right, and was righteous, and has been vindicated over and over again. There was no overreach. There was no excess. There was no they-went-too-far.

So much work remains to be done.

There is talk that Schumer is a closer confidant of Trump than he admits. This kind of rumor is almost inevitable, but true or not, he has to go. The Democrats have lots of good people who could replace him. If he was any kind of man, he would quit for the good of the party and the country.

Katie Wilson’s lead grows in race for Seattle mayor Katie Wilson leads Bruce Harrell by more than 1,300 votes after Tuesday's election update.

Katie Wilson is now almost certainly Seattle's 58th mayor. We spoke just now: "We’re going to wait for all of the ballots to be counted, but I think we won this race." www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...

China’s CO2 emissions have now been flat or falling for 18 months, starting in March 2024.

This trend continued in the third quarter of 2025, when emissions were unchanged year-on-year.

If this trend starts to move into sustained carbon emissions reduction it would be hugely significant.

A normal reaction to today's news, dear Nancy, would be to express shock and horror at the significant possibility that the president of the United States is a child molester.

BREAKING: Rep. Adelita Grijalva signs the Epstein discharge petition, serving as the 218th vote to force the bill to the floor for a full vote of the House.

BREAKING: Grijalva has signed the Epstein Files discharge petition. It doesn't appear that Mace or Boebert have removed their names.

Garcia: "If the president has nothing to hide, then all we want is for them to release the full files."

just opening up the new Epstein docs at random:

WATCH — @repstevenhorsford.bsky.social : “My amendment would redirect that $40 BILLION from Argentina to fund the ACA subsidies for two years… a far better use of taxpayer dollars.”

Why do we have money for Argentina while our own people lose their health care? How does this make us great?

"I think you should let him hang himself" writes Michael Wolff in Epstein email

Telling Jeffrey Epstein "you should let him hang himself" 🙃

Normal isn't coming back so get off your knees and fight back - what they have planned for us is far worse than anything they've already done.

it's (darkly) funny that the tech titans' politics are basically "we have no choice but to end representative government because my employees asked for a slight raise in 2020"
