Y’all. Mamdani did not “charm” Trump. He Jedi mind tricked him. And I think we all need to acknowledge and respect that, for the good of the nation.

North Atlantic alert as orcas begin targeting commercial ships in what experts describe as coordinated attacks What began as rare encounters off the Iberian coast now shows up in captain’s logs from Galicia to the Strait of Gibraltar, and in wary chatter on VHF.

They’re not coordinated, they’re orcastrated.

One of the most moving moments of my Winning The Earthquake book tour so far was sitting on Jeannette Rankin’s own couch during my swing through her adopted home of Georgia, with the pillow she so fittingly embroidered with the word VOTE.

The Curious Case of MTG and why proximity to power is perilous position

To me, MTG is a cautionary tale about white women who choose proximity to power over solidarity and always get pushed over the cliff the moment they step out of line. I hope more women like her take note that they will never be enough in MAGA simply because they are women.

Kelly thinks it's ok for adult men to rape 15 y/o girls.
Gaetz (allegedly) raped a 17 year old girl.
Trump is hiding protecting child rapists.
The GOP has no moral compass and no bottom to their depravity.
WE THE WOMEN must stand united against this regime of rape.

Why MAGA Is Obsessed With Epstein The Answer Lies In Women’s History.

Daily Reminder: MAGA’s obsession with the Epstein Files didn’t start yesterday. It’s 100 years in the making. Not even Trump can outrun history.

Think it’s about justice? Think again. Read my article to find out the true motivation behind this movement.

Lawrence: In newly public emails Epstein says 'of course' Trump 'knew about the girls'
YouTube video by MSNBC Lawrence: In newly public emails Epstein says 'of course' Trump 'knew about the girls'

“If you’re in a mood to thank someone, thank Amy Shuster.”

That’s how @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com opened The Last Word just hours after the Oversight Committee unleashed the first torrent of emails linking Trump to Epstein.

I’m absolutely in the mood to say thank you. We are in her debt.
