I wonder if there are any lessons to be learned from the way Epstein's industrial-scale abuse of women met with the indifference, complicity & sometimes active participation of some of the most powerful men in the world, from virtually all walks of life, from crowned heads to CEOs & academics?

Read The Emails Epstein Sent Detailing What Trump Knew The House Oversight Committee released several emails from Jeffrey Epstein suggesting President Donald Trump knew about his criminal activity.

New Epstein emails claim Trump ‘spent hours’ with victim Democrats on the House Oversight say the emails provide evidence of a cover-up by the White House

BREAKING: (Gift) New Epstein emails reveal that Epstein claimed he had kompromat on President Trump. www.miamiherald.com/news/politic...

And of course, how many totally non-pervey men spend HOURS alone with a sex-trafficked teen? The answer is zero. Zero non-perverts spend hours alone with a sex trafficked teenaged girl.

My takeaway from every new Epstein revelation is that some powerful people victimized many powerless young women, many more knew, some actively enabled it--and we're still being told that MeToo and accountability for sexual violence have gone too far

What Happens After Congress Votes on the Epstein-Files Bill Adelita Grijalva’s delayed swearing-in means a bill to force disclosure of the Epstein files will reach the House floor, if not Trump’s desk.

Nothing sticks to Trump though. He can shoot somebody in the middle of Fifth Ave and the fifth column will still support him

Yes. Our president, who was convicted of sexual assault and still elected to office, is a pedophile. Who is going to ignore this or pretend it didn’t happen.

The Left Must Build Its Infrastructure We need to look not at what it will take to win the next election, but what it’ll take to win the next 10 elections.

From me in the @thenation.com: The left needs to think beyond just winning the next election and build the kind of connective tissue that will allow us to win the next ten. www.thenation.com/article/acti...

Trump Wrecks His Own Case for Tariffs as Bizarre SCOTUS Rant Backfires As Trump unleashes confused statements about the Supreme Court case on his tariffs, a trade expert explains how he accidentally undermined his argument for them—and why all this is trending toward a m...

Trump just claimed his tariffs have pulled in $2 trillion. Then literally hours later, he inflated that to $3 trillion. With this absurdity, he undermined his case for tariffs, revealing that he's just pulling numbers out of his ass.

Epstein: Trump knew In a shocking trove of emails released by House Democrats, Jeffrey Epstein alleged that President Trump "spent hours" at his home with a victim and "knew about the girls."

Epstein: Trump knew

Jeffrey Epstein alleged that Donald Trump knew about his crimes, newly released emails reveal – live updates In new batch of emails released by House Democrats, Jeffrey Epstein told Ghislaine Maxwell that Trump ‘spent hours’ at his house with one of his victims In a new batch of emails released by Democrats on the House oversight committee, Jeffrey Epstein wrote that Donald Trump knew about the late financier and sex-offender’s crimes. In the three emails released, Epstein apparently told his accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell that Trump “spent hours” at his house with one of Epstein’s victims. In two other emails to author Michael Wolff, Epstein wrote that “of course he knew about the girls”, referring to the now-president. According to the exchanges, Epstein also solicited Wolff’s advice about how he should handle Trump discussing their friendship in an interview with CNN. “I think you should let him hang himself,” Wolff writes. “If he says he hasn’t been on the plane or to the house, then that gives you a valuable PR and political currency. You can hang him in a way that potentially generates a positive benefit for you, or, if it really looks like he could win, you could save him, generating a debt.” Continue reading...

Imagine if the Captain of the Titanic saw the iceberg from a mile away but was too afraid to change course.

Inconceivable, right?

Well, let me tell you about a guy by the name of Chuck Schumer…

“In one of the messages, Mr. Epstein flatly asserted that Mr. Trump “knew about the girls,” many of whom were later found by investigators to have been underage.”

Sounds like the WH is hiding quite a bit. Just not very well.

Just in: Jeffrey Epstein said that Donald Trump 'spent hours at my house' with a woman later identified as a victim of sex trafficking, according to emails that raise fresh questions about the relationship between the late paedophile and the US president on.ft.com/3LXOdTm

Just a zillionaire fucking up the sources of information like Henry Wallace predicted American fascists would do.

That worthless hack

A tweet from J.J. Abbott (@jjabbott) says: “Narrator: He did not fight.” It quotes a 2022 tweet from John Fetterman (@JohnFetterman) that reads: “Health care is a basic, fundamental human right. I will fight for health care like the health care that saved my life. #PASenateDebate.”

In terms of big disappointments, he gets honorable Manchin.

#ICYMI: A Department of Veterans Affairs memo obtained by ProPublica sets up new roadblocks to care for male veterans with breast cancer.

The agency cites no new science but relies on an executive order about “restoring biological truth” in government.

By @ericumansky.bsky.social

Back in 2020, Trump's "history of promising a health care plan that never comes" was already a punchline. In June 2019, for example, he said, "“Yeah, we’ll be announcing [a "phenomenal" health care plan] in two months, maybe less.”

Jonathan Braun, Felon Freed by Trump, to Be Sentenced Again in Brooklyn A Brooklyn federal judge found that Jonathan Braun had violated the rules of his release by assaulting a nanny, swinging an IV pole at a nurse and dodging tolls in luxury cars.

A felon whose sentence President Trump commuted in the final hours of his first term was sentenced to 27 months in prison on Monday after being accused of a range of criminal conduct — including physical and sexual assault — since Trump freed him. nyti.ms/3LSL8nC

it's almost as if you shouldn't and can't negotiate with completely amoral vacuous shitgoblins

Tapper: Angus King said standing up to Donald Trump didn't work.

Sanders: Maybe Angus didn't notice the elections on Tuesday. I thought that they worked pretty well.

Recent polling on the economy shows flashing red lights for Donald Trump, CNN’s chief data analyst warned. Trump is facing double trouble.

Analysis | Yes, Democrats won last Tuesday's elections by double digits. However, they did not win them by triple digits. The time had come to cave to Trump.

Bold strategy there, Chuck, we'll see if it pays off.
