Honestly the terror on Johnson’s face makes me think somehow he personally is going to be implicated in the files? Something something covenant eyes?

I've still got AOC ringing in my ears: "There was a day before his presidency, and there will be a day after"

There WILL. We can almost see it from here.

10 months of term 2, but 10 years since this monster first started relentlessly inflicting himself on all of us.

we made it this far. there is a future lying ahead of us, with this rapist fascist clown in our rearview mirror. a future with its own new challenges. not too far out of reach now.

10 months into this nightmare, and I have to say, the past month feels like rounding an important sort of corner.

Don’t get me wrong, it’s still going to get hellishly worse before it gets better.

But I’ll be here, working to make it better. We all will. We’re stronger than they thought we were.

It is so funny that anyone has convinced themselves that the pro Israel consensus is preservable

lot of people on this app seem really committed to the notion that nothing damaging will come out of the Epstein files.

let yourself hope a little! it’s free!

this explicit provision is key: "No record shall be withheld, delayed, or redacted on the basis of embarrassment, reputational harm, or political sensitivity, including to any government official, public figure, or foreign dignitary."

Clay Higgins (R-LA) — far right lunatic

Passed 427-1 in the House and unanimously in the Senate. Trump said yesterday he would sign it. Text of the law looks very strict about no redactions other than victims' names, no squirming to protect perpetrators.

There is no excuse. Release them.

it's wild how EVERYONE seems to misapprehend the reality of public opinion on this. pro-Israel elected Dems in 2025 seem to be shockingly unaware of how emphatically their own voters support freedom for Palestine. Primaries next year are an opportunity to make them hear us.

I am posting a visual summary of this poll because I STILL see so many Israel apologists implicitly equating "antisemitism" with "siding against Israel in the I-P conflict."

That's simply absurd.

Is it really their position that 60% of Harris voters (but only 10% of Trump voters) are antisemites?

Same question, by 2024 presidential vote:

2024 Harris voters:
60% Palestinians
12% Israel

2024 non-voters:
40% Palestinians
21% Israel

2024 Trump voters:
10% Palestinians
63% Israel

an important message to elite society in general:

this is an unpopular, weak and failing lame duck president and you can just tell him no

Epstein files live updates as House passes bill to force release of documents in 427-1 vote The House voted 427 to 1 to approve the Epstein Files Transparency Act and compel the release of documents. Follow live updates here.

Republicans no longer have any excuse to delay justice.

Senator Thune must bring this bill to a vote, IMMEDIATELY

The victims of Epstein's abuse & the American people deserve transparency.

The “Epstein Files Transparency Act” passes the House via a nearly unanimous vote of 427-1.

Rep. Clay Higgins of Louisiana is the single holdout

Q: Speaker Johnson is calling on the Senate to make revisions to this bill because he says it's doesn't adequately protect survivors


MASSIE: That's been a red herring all along. The survivors have always been in favor of this legislation. He's trying to save face.

A reminder: The Attorney General of the United States should be the people's lawyer, not the president's personal attorney. The Department of Justice should act to protect the public, not just the occupant of the Oval Office and his political allies.

They took Lauren Boebert into the situation room to pressure her not to vote for it! I still can’t get over how that mostly got a shrug.

And notice it only goes one way. It’s only considered “disloyal” to support a primary challenger if the incumbent is an establishment centrist.

AOC herself regularly defeats well-funded primary challengers and nobody screams about how disloyal it is that those challenges happen. She just wins.

The spector of the dreaded i word is our FAVORITE THING.

There isn’t any justification to vote to keep the Epstein files hidden. The American people deserve answers.

Yes, AOC & Mamdani have good reasons here, but also: I want to destroy the idea that freely choosing your favorite candidate in a competitive primary makes you somehow “disloyal” if your favorite candidate is not the incumbent.

I’d choose Ossé over Jeffries in a heartbeat. I hope Ossé beats him.

Think about it this way:

Why exactly is it possible to attack Trump with Epstein but not possible to attack Kamala Harris with Epstein?

It’s kind of important

Hear me out: Senate minority leader Elizabeth Warren (to finish out Chuck Schumer’s term)

“Quiet, piggy” the flailing rantings of a pathetic loser of a lame duck president.

Think of all the powerful people around the world who acted like obsequious cowards trying to appease this pile of filth. They’ll never live down the shame of it.

Grandpa’s sundowning again I see

[my clunky translation] MJM: This sounds silly, but I posted a photo of you every day when you were in captivity in El Salvador. Over 500,000 people liked the posts. We all think of you. ANDRY: The love and beauty of the American people is immense. MJM: Well, you’re pretty amazing, Andry. ANDRY: & still a lot of work to do but my goal is to say thank you, in front of all of you, in the United States.

I had an exchange (in my terrible Spanish) with Andry José Hernández Romero, the gay Venezuelan asylum seeker sent, without due process, to an El Salvadoran prison by the US. I told him that I posted a photo of him on here each day he was in captivity & he responded. He said I could share. ❤️
