At the same time the NY Times was hyping Hillary Clinton's emails, it had a reporter with emails from Jeffrey Epstein that were highly damaging to Trump.

The more NYT apologists try to minimize this the clearer it becomes that they don't understand why much of the public doesn't trust legacy media.

The worlds most famous pedophile told a NYT reporter that he had an ongoing relationship with the GOP presidential nominee. That’s more newsworthy and credibly sourced than most things the NYT has published in the decade since.

Democratic leaders have failed us again. It's time to get new leaders. After yet another capitulation by Chuck Schumer and Senate Democrats, it's clear we need new leadership capable of mounting a serious opposition to Trump's authoritarian regime. We're launching our la...

After yesterday’s surrender, we’re launching the largest Democratic primary program that we’ve ever run.

We will not back any Senate primary candidate unless they call for Schumer to step down as Minority Leader.

If you’re as pissed as we are, join this campaign to rebuild the Democratic Party. 👇

If orders are not thoroughly understood, then the general is to blame.

Resign.

Chuck Schumer Needs To Go The Democratic Senate leader has lost the thread. Everyone is suffering because of his lack of judgment.

I wrote about Chuck Schumer newrepublic.com/article/2029...

We were unified on Tuesday. Yet Senate leadership couldn’t hold the caucus to their own line in the sand. They and the defectors are sowing the very divisions you speak of.

So did they get the promise from…the House? Like the other body that needs to vote to extend ACA subsidies? Like what the fuuuuuuck is happening?!

New: Sens. King, Shaheen, Hassan led negotiations on a deal that will have enough Democratic support to pass in the Senate, I'm told. This is the package: - CR thru Jan 30 - A vote on a ACA bill by a December, on a DEM bill - Minibus WHICH INCLUDES reversal of shutdown RIFs and back pay and protections against them happening in the future PLUS SNAP is funded through the fiscal year 26

Dems have spent the past two months saying they're fighting to address the crisis of spiking healthcare costs and now they're caving for a deal that does nothing to address healthcare costs ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Senate leadership is so out of touch with the party that any Dem not calling for their resignation by the new year shouldn’t see a cent either

No democrat can in good faith contribute a cent to Act Blue moving forward under this leadership.

A caucus leader that cannot hold his caucus to its own line in the sand when it has a winning position is not a Leader full stop.

Ah yes, the GOP gets to continue destroying the government, the Dems get a line for an email.

This is a civil war.

Lincoln had McClellan, Hooker and Pope.
He junked them for Grant, Sherman and Sheridan

We have Schumer, Durbin and Cortez Masto in our leadership.

Act Blue, lose my fucking number until we're clean of generals who can't fight or discipline the troops. No cash for this shit.

"we'll just put it into FSAs! [that not everyone has, and lets Trump put his names on checks again]" is piddling shit. it just is.

about the only way out of it I can see being an upside for us is that this gets Grijalva seated and we find out some Stuff

The obstacle? The law.

I like how Zohran Mamdani scandals are like "He called his old cousin his aunt one time" and Andrew Cuomo scandals are like "He sexually assaulted 13 women."

Truth Social post - "Great people like Jensen Huang, Marc Benioff, & others have called saying that the future of SF is great."

If & when federal courts (& SCOTUS) insist on deferring to the President's determination that deploying the Natl Guard is necessary for the enforcement of federal law, safety, etc. - please remember Trump says he's making such decisions based in part on what the CEOs of Salesforce & NVIDIA tell him.

Why does everyone keep calling it “The Epstein Ballroom?” Please stop repeating “The Epstein Ballroom” because it is not called “The Epstein Ballroom!” Don’t tell the news that it’s called “The Epstein Ballroom” and please don’t repost this!!!!!

Not enough of you believe me right now, but "Rebuild The White House" is going to become one of the most popular slogans in American political history

UPDATE: More donors funding the demolition of the East Wing for Trump's $250M ballroom have been identified

The only solution here is impeachment. A Declaration of Independence style list of Trump's high crimes and misdemeanors, from looting the US Treasury to deprivation of constitutional rights to demolishing the White House to murder on the high seas to usurping the reserved powers of Congress.

Two headlines on front page of NYT. First is "Trump Weighs Transforming Refugee Policy. White People Would be Given Preference." Second is "Justices May Ban Race as a Factor in District Maps. Nation's Political Balance Could Shift If Court Guts 1964 Law."

Where we stand, in long arc of history:

-Story on left, adding race as a factor when that favors white people.

-Story on right, banning race as a factor when that favors non-whites.

I often complain about NYT headlines and story-play. But these are strong. Including "If Court Guts 1965 Law."

We’re losing not because Trump is popular and strong but because the opposition is obsessed with finding clever tricks to win his voters by talking about unrelated things, rather than talking about the only thing that matters right now, which is how bad he is.

Amid Hunt for Crime in DC, Whistleblower Implicates Ed "Big Balls" Coristine and John Roberts - emptywheel John Roberts and his Republican colleagues have granted a kid with ties to criminal hackers, Ed "Big Balls" Coristine, live access to every American's Social Security data.

Reup: One thing many are missing abt Social Security whistleblower complaint is this: DOGE--including Big Balls, who has ties to criminal hackers--put ALL American Social Security data on an insecure AWS site AFTER SCOTUS GOPers intervened and let them do that.
