Does seem like the more people talk about the Epstein files the more unhinged Trump gets. The pressure of people realizing he is a pedo is literally driving him insane.

"Stacey Williams, a former model who once dated Jeffrey Epstein, says Donald Trump groped her in his Trump Tower office in 1993—while casually chatting with Epstein just feet away."

Trump says undocumented immigrants do farm work "naturally" because "they don't get a bad back."

Mississippi's Declaration of Secession similarly said slavery must be protected because "by an impervious law of nature, none but the black race can bear exposure to the tropical sun."

Trump on undocumented farm workers: "People that live in the inner city are not doing that work. They've tried, we've tried, everybody tried. They don't do it. These people do it naturally. Naturally ... they don't get a bad back, because if they get a bad back, they die."

Tesla withheld data, lied, and misdirected police and plaintiffs to avoid blame in Autopilot crash Tesla was caught withholding data, lying about it, and misdirecting authorities in the wrongful death case involving Autopilot that it...

The most damning part: The car was programmed to send all the information to Tesla then delete the local copies. Which speaks to a clear conspiracy to hide the fact that "driver assistance" features contributed to an accident #teslatakedown electrek.co/2025/08/04/t...

Any Dems who don’t have this attitude should exit politics now:

check this shit out motherfuckers

BREAKING:

Two Epstein victims write letters slamming the Trump DOJ and FBI for its handling of the Epstein case.

"I am not some pawn in your political warfare. ... Why not be completely transparent? Show us all the files with only the necessary redactions! Be done with it and allow me/us to heal."

Trump Fired America’s Economic Data Collector. History Shows the Perils.

President Trump didn't like the jobs numbers, so he fired the person responsible for producing them.
It's a move that has been tried before, by leaders of countries from Argentina to Greece to the Soviet Union. It rarely ends well.

You can certainly spread the blame around but the truth is if it weren’t for John Roberts, Trump would be in prison right now.

This would literally be the end of international travel to the United States outside a few very wealthy business travelers.

We are very lucky no one died but this was entirely avoidable if as a state we don't let people with profound delusion make "decisions" about what is the best treatment for them.

Portland arson suspect claims he set fires to ‘close a portal and protect people,’ court docs say Aubrey Edwards allegedly ignited several fires following a second arrest.

A very sad result of Oregon making civil commitment/treatment impossible (recently improved by a new law so we will see). We let people who are mentally unable to make decisions "choose" to not be treated. Results is bad for them and the whole community www.oregonlive.com/crime/2025/0...

A group of well-known Washington lawyers is opening a law firm focused on challenging President Donald Trump’s executive orders and agency actions as he strives to dramatically reshape the federal government during his second term.

An easy way to tell which party actually opposes partisan gerrymandering is that the Democrats pushed a law, the "for the people act" in 2021 through the house and 50 votes in the Senate that would ban partisan gerrymandering. Manchin killed it because he wouldn't nuke the filibuster for it

Hochul: "This is a war. We are at war. And that's why the gloves are off and I say, bring it on."

Wow - we’ve had 1,600 New Yorkers sign our petition asking @govkathyhochul to gerrymander our state.

The more we have, the more we can show the Governor we have her back to do this.

Ultra rich white nationalist buys a big social media company make it promote white nationalism and white nationalism gains popularity. Almost like advertising works

Pritzker refers to Donald Trump as would-be dictator and cult leader.

CNBC Lora Kolodny article: Tesla must pay portion of $329 million in damages after fatal Autopilot crash, jury says Key Points A jury in Florida determined that Tesla should be held partly liable for a fatal 2019 Autopilot crash. The company must pay a portion of $329 million in damages to victims and a survivor, including compensatory and punitive damages. Tesla had argued that the driver’s behavior was to blame for the fatal crash, while plaintiffs claimed Tesla’s Autopilot technology was flawed and deceptively marketed.

Elon tweet: "Teslas can drive themselves!"

Two days ago: Tesla has to pay hundreds of millions of dollars for deceptively marketing Autopilot in a way that falsely made people think it could drive the car by itself.

Today: Elon Musk "Teslas can drive themselves!"

If we ever get a restoration of the American Republic, the trumpists who tore the Republic down should be treated the same way the Stuart Restoration treated the regicides

Liberals need to be better about not letting themselves be baited into stupid takes thru negative polarization.

It was a stupid sexy ad with a pun. Fox news found like 10 unwell randos to try to make liberals look bad and now actual liberals are like "well actually there is a point..."

the tunnel is the biggest opportunity we have to reduce operational costs through speed improvements, but there are definitely others: transit signal priority, bus stop consolidation, etc. bus lanes for the FX72 will likely significantly mitigate the costs of lowering headways from 15m to 12m

"We will impeach and remove the president for his many crimes" seems like a good midterm election pitch to me idk

Took extended family downtown #portland for fun and book shopping at Powell's. It was a great day. Nicest and cleanest the city has looked in half a decade.

Afterwards my family said, "There are sure a lot of unwell homeless people just wandering around."

Highlights different expectations.

Remarkable what the media lets some politicians lie about and which politicians/issues it doesn't turning the lie into a major story.

Larry Summers: "This is way beyond anything Nixon ever did ... this is the stuff of democracies giving way to authoritarianism. Firing statisticians goes with threatening the heads of newspapers, launching assaults on universities, launching assaults on law firms. This is really scary stuff."

all of this shit is a flagrant violation of bribery and corruption law, I don’t care what the Supreme Court says

the Las Vegas tourist economy is crumbling fast, and I suspect a decent chunk of that - apart from mismanagement and price gouging, which seem plentiful - is the disappearance of East Asian gambling tourists as a result of Trump's policies alienating or scaring potential visitors.

My “grievance” is that 50%+ of the businesses in my neighborhood have shut while the Minneapolis progressive twitter clique has first assured us that there’s no problem, then that it’s natural part of the business cycle, and finally that old Uptown is dead and can’t come back and that’s okay
