And the NYT buried it. Wonder why Sulzberger’s on that Epstein guest list.

Why would Epstein know Trump's election prospects on Oct. 15? Maybe Russia. That month Epstein arranged for Trump advisors Peter Thiel & Tom Barrack to meet Russian Vitali Churkin. Russia fed hacked emails to WikiLeaks. Then Thiel's folks spun up Pizzagate: a conspiracy about a pedophile ring. 4/

“I don’t think that’s appropriate at all.”

REPUBLICAN @RepGregSteube opposed the funding bill because @SenatorHagerty & @MarshaBlackburn and others snuck in a provision to hand themselves millions of taxpayer dollars. #MarshaMoneyGrab 💰

pro tip: innocent people don't work this hard to keep the files that prove their innocence a secret

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said Wednesday that key inflation and jobs data for October will “likely never” be released due to the government shutdown. Speaking at a news briefing, Leavitt sought to blame Democrats for the more than 40 day government shutdown, which she said “may have permanently damaged the federal statistical system with October [consumer price index] and jobs reports likely never being released.”

In the absence of official government data, private firms have stepped in to try to measure the state of the labor market. They have found that hiring seems to be slowing, while layoffs reached recession-like levels in October.

How many excuses will the White House come up with to avoid owning the bad jobs numbers they've caused?

Senate’s going to depend a lot on how many House Repubs vote for release in the floor vote. Rumored to be high. Senate margin only needs a few defectors. and anyone who votes no is Team Pedo in every 2026 election ad.

emailing in a semi-literate manner isn’t a sign of stupidity, it’s another form of rich asshole arrogance because you don’t think you owe anyone coherent thoughts

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?

Trump ‘Spent Hours’ With an Epstein Victim, Epstein Said What if Qanon was right?

"Epstein alleges that Trump spent 'hours' with one of his victims at Epstein’s house. I wonder what they were doing. Probably reading." No, maybe he was badgering her about tariff policy! www.thebulwark.com/p/trump-spen...

You got it. Now a few (e.g. Kristol) have stayed on side. But most are loose sails catching the next convenient breeze.

And those votes, in turn, were likely greased loose by the absolute pounding Repubs took in last Tuesday's elections. It's not just Congressional votes. It's YOURS. You can actually see how that victory was won by hanging the shutdown around Repubs' neck, then letting people have their SNAP back.

The takeaway here is that the votes to remove Johnson do exist, and they're being bandied about. Trump obviously has a tight grip on Johnson, probably through facts about the 14-year-old boy "adopted son." But that grip can be loosened with enough votes.

Remember those words. "Enough votes."

Johnson says House will vote next week on push to compel DOJ to release all of its Epstein files | CNN Politics Speaker Mike Johnson announced Wednesday that he would put a contentious bill compelling the release of all of the Justice Department’s Jeffrey Epstein case files to a vote on the House floor next we...

lol I recall not even a week ago, being told by raging "anti-cavers" that this was a pipe dream, would never happen in a million years, and Democrats were fools to believe it. "you idiot Mike Johnson will never call a vote. He'll never bring anything to a vote again."

Judge rules mandatory detention of Chicago day care teacher by ICE is illegal According to the ruling, Diana Santillana will be given a bond hearing in front of an immigration judge, who could order her released while her civil deportation case proceeds.

Judge rules mandatory detention of Chicago day care teacher by ICE is illegal

It’s wild how many of the ICE/CBP detentions are turning out to be illegal — and yet in the US system, there are no consequences for the agents and no recourse for the victims.

Exactly what it says on the label: The Pope in 1982. He's wearing a black hat, dark RayBans, and looks like he's a member of the Blues Brothers.

What's from Chicago, hates Illinois Nazis, and is holy as fuck?

It's the Pope in 1982.

Yeah, I’m starting to notice how the loudest voices shifting the blame from Repubs to Dems are the never-Trump Republicans. They only pretended to switch. As soon as they had an opening they went back.

Screenshot of a post from Jen Rubin: “all six D's who voted for this god awful thing including the corrupt give away to senators need to be primaried”

Another former conservative influencer making a name for herself by disparaging Democrats.😏 Never placing full blame on Republicans.

👉🏽 Her “values” are the reason why we are here.

These folks have a lot of nerve centering themselves, as the base of a party they never aligned with.

"This woke Me-Too bullshit has gone too far," said the former Harvard President and Secretary of the U.S. Treasury to the billionaire pedophile sex trafficker in a private email that the Justice Department under both parties kept secret for years

"The old playbooks of social control are simply no longer effective at making people like things that suck ass."

What did Peter Baker of The NY Times know?

What did Maggie Habermann know?

When did they know it and why have they not reported on it for, oh, the past fucking decade?

We’re in this position because the Comey letter was considered newsworthy but this wasn’t.

A guest list? With Sulzberger on it?

Part of me wonders if this isn't why Biden changed the law regarding the federal statute of limitations on child sex abuse and trafficking, because the sad reality is that probably NONE of these emails contain anything that hasn't expired yet under the previous system.

Seems like reporters who cover #SCOTUS should be asking this question. No?

I don't think legacy media is reading the room correctly on the Epstein Files. Many of us are asking why they have ignored this story for the last decade? Why did they dismiss all of us who were concerned that Trump might be compromised? And where is their fucking contrition and apology now?

Every time someone posts a screenshot of one of the Epstein emails, I pause and think “this one has to be fake; don’t get fooled into reposting a spoof.”

But then … they’re all real?
