Release the #EpsteinFiles

Seizing the property of private organizations to punish dissent is totalitarianism.

It is illegal, anti-Conservative, Soviet, and sickening.

Yet people who drool ‘freedom’ whisper not a word to object. Lift not a finger.

The thing about the Trump/Putin meeting is the DOJ still hasn’t released the Epstein Files

The FBI director whose prior career was “podcast guest with an enemies list” thinks other people are engaged in “political weaponization”

KKKlancy Mace, true to form.

THAT WAS A STRIKE OUT. COME ON UMP. TWO OUTS IN THE 9TH AND YOU AREN’T CALLING THAT??

Also, 🫡🫡🫡 to Mets fans for the full stadium standing ovation for Gavin Williams as he walked off the mound. That’s how you do it.

Only listening on the radio, but it sure sounded like it. Well done #Mets fans! 😘

Hell yes #Mets fans @curlinrondo.bsky.social Very classy. The Yankees fans could never.

If I were the manager or GM of the Mets, I'd make it mandatory that the whole team goes to a screening of The Naked Gun once they get to Milwaukee and then have dinner together afterward to butcher all of their favorite jokes from said film.

Genuinely a better plan than whatever the Mets have in mind

Sean Duffy pitching a nuclear reactor on the moon?

Are you kidding me?

They’re throwing everything out there to divert attention from the Ghislaine Maxwell-Epstein case, but nothing’s going to work.

We won’t be silenced or distracted — release the files now!

If Sean Duffy builds a nuclear reactor on the moon will it have any effect on releasing the Epstein files?

If Sean Duffy builds a nuclear reactor on the moon and no one is around to see it, will it still distract everyone from the Epstein files? 🤔

I started The Left Hook a year ago with modest ambitions.

I'm a one-man shop with zero paywalls, trying my best.

It just cracked the top 100 in Politics on Substack, which, compared to most, isn't a big deal, but for me is a nice milestone.

Thanks to the 76K subscribers! Onward!

Whoa, Alabama. 💥

Birmingham-area activists put up a Trump–Epstein billboard on a busy highway: “What’s the big secret, fellas?”

I know this will get me in trouble. I usually try not to curse but my military is showing…

These stupid motherfuckers want to put a nuclear reactor on the moon. Boondoggle and a straight money enema to our oligarchs.

Epstein files must be very, very bad.

BREAKING: A federal court ruled that an Arkansas law requiring the Ten Commandments to be displayed in every public school classroom and library is unconstitutional.

The law is blocked for our clients’ school districts while the case continues.

Imagine in another country a corrupt president was trying to change the election laws.

Then that president's political ally threatened to remove all the legislators of the other party to get it done.

That's what's happening in Texas right now.

Hi, former Foreign Service Officer here

The Secretary of State might be interested to learn that visa requirements and terms are generally reciprocal. We do it to them, they do it to us.

Roses are red
Violets are blue
Trump is in the Epstein files

I was there tonight and it was 1 hour and 20 minutes of sustained booing. The videos don’t do it justice.

Question for Mike Flood: With $450 million being allocated to Alligator Alcatraz, and ICE burning through $8.4 million a day to illegally detain people—How much does it cost for fascism? How much do the tax payers have to pay for a fascist country?

Don Bacon: "From my vantage point here in Nebraska, we're seeing a bit of a troubled economic mess. Right now it's a troubled time. In Nebraska the GDP has decreased by 6% over the last year and it's all about trade...so what I hear about weak jobs numbers, we're seeing that in Nebraska right now"
