The Epstein case against Trump is as if everyone is looking at a 500 piece puzzle with 2 pieces missing and pretending they can't make out the picture for certain.

Epstein offered the reporter PICTURES of Trump with very young girls in bikinis while at the residence of Epstein, who, at the time of the picture, was a convicted sex offender. You don't think that's newsworthy given that Trump was a presidential candidate? You sure you're a reporter?

American or not what a little bitch.

One reason you hold a meeting to pressure/cajole/threaten Boebert in the Situation Room is so she can't record it.

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.

An informant is usually not a good guy. It’s a guy who got caught and the feds flip to narc out other people involved.

Regardless of whether Trump talked, why wouldn’t his name have come up from the girl Epstein is referencing? It would make sense, though, if Trump was cooperating at the time…

Disagree. I think he’s saying how odd it is that Trump has not been named anywhere despite his high profile status and his involvement. He is saying, to me, that he is therefore very suspicious of Trump.

Yeah, I get what you’re saying, and that could be right but it doesn’t explain the “I’m 75% there” line.

That’s why I think he means something else.

They’re pretty clearly (to me) implying back in 2011 that Trump was an FBI informant. I don’t know how else to read that email.

Remember a couple months ago when Mike Johnson said that Trump was an informant and then never said a word about it again? Hmmmmmmm.

YES. Exactly.

I think it’s the opposite. I think he’s saying there that it’s weird there’s been no mention of Trump given that he was so close with one of the girls.

What do you think the “I’m 75% there” means in the context of that email?

More than that, he’s telling Maxwell that he’s “75% there” to the conclusion that Trump is an informant against him to the feds is the way I read that.

Think about who would be an FBI informant here. It’s almost certainly going to be someone intimately involved themselves who is trying to get out of trouble.

He’s saying—surprised—that there’s been no mention of Trump anywhere despite having been very close with at least one victim. The “I’m 75% there,” to me, is him saying he’s 75% sure Trump is a narc.

In that email from Epstein to Maxwell in 2011, he is implying that Trump is an FBI informant against him, right? That’s what he’s “75% there” to accepting as fact. Isn’t that right?

I’m pretty sure the first email is Epstein implying that Trump is an FBI informant against him. That would be incredibly significant.

Boy, not very deferential to their own king anymore.

You were betrayed, José.

Really wish I had gotten a better shot of this but holding a phone that says “who else was just ‘following orders’?” up to a riot cop is hard as hell

Pepper-sprayed Berwyn family rattled after getting caught up in federal blitz Southwest Side politicians condemned Saturday’s pepper spraying and the federal sweep of Little Village as “state-sponsored terrorism” at a news conference Sunday.

Arianna Sofia Veraza and her parents were driving to Sam's Club for milk, eggs and diapers yesterday when they heard helicopters and horns blaring yesterday. They had turned around to leave when a federal agent pepper-sprayed them through a car window.

I’m surprised there isn’t more talk about this vote really being about preserving the filibuster, which they knew the Republicans would eventually be pressured by Trump into eliminating if this kept going. To guys like Schumer, opening a path to structural reforms cannot be allowed.

It’s all about preserving the filibuster IMO. They knew that, eventually, Republican senators would give in to Trump’s pressure to abolish the filibuster to pass their budget alone. To institutionalists dependent on corporate money, this could not be allowed to happen. Vote them all out!

I hope they realize that is what we expect of them, even if it means upsetting a dear friend or two.

Saying shocking things isn’t funny in and of itself.

Fuck outta here with this irrelevant bullshit you losers. Talk to me when he touches a little kid like all the right wing church leaders. Jesus Christ you guys suck.

“…to defend and advance President Trump’s agenda” of starving millions of Americans.

Got it.

OK but that’s literally what they’ve been doing throughout the shutdown, and to great success!

How the Laken Riley Act is working against ICE to free some noncitizens Judges around the country are citing the GOP-backed immigration law, designed to detain more noncitizens, to free them instead.

@mjsdc.bsky.social This is a fun little wrinkle. I’d love to read more on this issue. My immigration attorney colleague told me that this is becoming a huge issue and that detainees are winning on it more every day. courthousenews.com/how-the-lake...
