Trump accusers join Epstein survivors in plea to Congress to release files "Deliver a promise the American people have awaited for far too long," they implored lawmakers in a letter.

Four women who have accused President Trump of inappropriate sexual contact sign onto a letter sent to Congress by survivors of Jeffrey Epstein, demanding the release of all the files on the accused sex trafficker.

Can't believe the terrible person who was terrible at everything he ever tried also turned out to be a terrible president. Who coulda seen that one coming?

It’s absurd that this post describes something that really happened today in exact detail. In America. On earth…

Emerging from the darkness of this era will require us to acknowledge that the previous status quo, including many institutions that may have served us well in another era, have been failing for my entire lifetime.

Kristi Noem even complaining that ICE agents aren't being allowed on private property is inappropriate. We have a 3rd amendment for a reason. We do not owe government employees with gun a space in our homes or businesses when they aren't even paying customers!

Wow! This ICE agent has bigger problems than just dropping his gun.

Just asking questions: why is tough guy pointing a gun at bystanders, and does he even notice that the magazine is on the ground too?

its just not defensible in 2025 for democratic candidates and officeholders not to have a clear position on asserting the equal rights of transgender americans. if you're unwilling, step aside and let a patriot take your place.

He just keeps getting stupider

I’m worried it can still get stupider

Becoming increasingly clear we’re gonna have to build a parallel infrastructure for all the media we really love. The reason all of this is happening under the color of law is hyperconsolidation, dissent being traded straight up for merger approval, or fear of harassment.

First Colbert, now Kimmel.

Last-minute settlements, secret side deals, multi-billion dollar mergers pending Donald Trump's approval.

Trump silencing free speech stifles our democracy. It sure looks like giant media companies are enabling his authoritarianism.

They had kids, too.

I love how this frames it as though the president didn’t arbitrarily start trade wars with the entire world under the assumption that the world needs a single thing from America.

CEO: We need to cut costs.

Accountant: We paid you $50 million last year. You are being paid $1 million for this meeting.

CEO: Who's that in the hallway?

Accountant: That's Greg. He is the only thing keeping this company together. We pay him in nickels and Grubhub gift cards.

CEO: Fire Greg.

If folks are literally dying from rogue ‘self-driving’ car accidents, killing themselves because a chat robot told them to, and succumbing to diseases we already eradicated but brought back because of brain-wormed grifter conspiracists, congrats, we are living in a full-blown dystopia!

As a child, I would have never believed I'd find out about so many adults who fear rainbows, shots, books, and immigrants.

That summit could've been an email? It could've been a Signal chat accidentally forwarded to the wrong intern, who was just a bunch of measles viruses stacked inside a trench coat, who leaked a deepfake of Putin moonwalking on democracy w/ Chuck Grassley yelling about corn subsidies on voiceover

ICE Barbie Lashes Out at ‘South Park’ After It Tore Her Apart Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem made her criticism despite saying that she hasn’t watched the show.

So woke of her. I thought fuck them if they can’t take a joke was their motto: "ICE Barbie Lashes Out at ‘South Park’ After It Tore Her Apart" www.thedailybeast.com//petty-ice-b...

Imagine in another country a corrupt president was trying to change the election laws.

Then that president's political ally threatened to remove all the legislators of the other party to get it done.

That's what's happening in Texas right now.

Penne is the worst!

Wall Street Journal headline and deck: "New York Shooting Puts Mamdani on the Spot Over Policing Views: The killing of four people in a Midtown office building rattled a city where mass attacks are rare and violent crime has declined."

It's really weird to demand accountability from a NYC mayoral candidate for a deadly NYC shooting rather than the current NYC mayor, an ex-cop who campaigned on a "tough on crime" platform and promptly got indicted for crimes
