For satire to work, it must either be so outrageous as to make us take pause or it must be rooted in truth. I believe this is satire rooted in truth.

The fact that Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche publicly stated that DOJ excluded all images showing “death, physical abuse, or injury” from Epstein files is almost certain proof that the images exist.

By withholding the images entirely rather than redacting minors, he is protecting the abusers.

Trump officials have blocked Minnesota law enforcement from accessing materials to investigate the death of Alex Pretti.

They also refused to cooperate with Minnesota officials to investigate Renee Good’s death.

What don’t they want the public to know?

Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem resigns as DP World CEO after being named in Epstein files.

Bin Sulayem’s name was redacted in at least one of the emails in the Epstein files, but Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., named him as the recipient of an email Epstein wrote, telling him he “loved the torture video.”

The Republican Judge wasn’t MAGA enough so they fired him. Which says he must be a decent arbiter of the law.

Trump has started a war against Democrats. It hasn't been officially announced, but he is literally using the military against Dems and POC and using biological warfare via CDC and other cuts targeting Dem livelihood. This is a modern tactical, paramilitary, and legislative civil war.

If in Norway the princess no longer has the support to be Queen, and if in the UK King Charles is now calling for a criminal investigation into his own brother, then surely in the United States of America, Howard Lutnick must resign!

Here is my conclusion after sitting through Maxwell's deposition with her refusing to answer a single question about the men who raped underage girls, saying she would only do so for clemency.

She must immediately be sent back to the maximum security prison where she belongs.

Every Democratic governor should boycott this dinner.

Voting them out is the key.

Ossoff: We were told that MAGA was for working-class Americans. But this is a government of, by, and for the ultra-rich. It’s the wealthiest Cabinet ever. This is the Epstein class. They are the elites they pretend to hate.

We appreciate your work

The president of the United States had his DOJ raid the Fulton County election office and seized ballots. This is clearly a dry run for 2026. Yet, this is treated by too many in legacy media as normal.

"The largest immigrant deportation and prison contractors in the US are expecting an epic payout this year: for every $1 that they donated to GOP campaigns in 2024, these private companies stand to reap more than $11,000 in increased annual revenue."

Just ask Juan Hernandez, former President of Honduras.

How we beat back the corporate takeover of America:

1. Break up corporate monopolies

2. Continue building union power

3. End Citizens United and get big money out of politics

Let’s keep working to unrig the system.

Smart move.

Such a nice place. The Rail Trail is great but, I must try the other 4 next time.

“The FCC decided all by itself that radio and television were the only two parts of American life not protected by the free speech provisions of the first amendment to the constitution.”

George Carlin, 1988

Wages of unionized workers are 13% higher than their nonunion counterparts.

But unions also set a higher pay standard that all workers enjoy.

In high-union-density states, median household income is $12,000 higher than in low-union-density states.

This is why unions are vital.
