Goodnight #bluesky. Please take care of each other, support each other and check in on those that you know are struggling. The smallest act of kindness can make a massive difference.

Had 4 years of outrage media coverage of Hunter Biden having a board seat but not quite as much energy directed to what is basically legalized bribery. Need your tariffs cut? Just hand Trump a <checks notes> $130,000 solid gold bar and a bespoke Rolex desk clock. Media shrugs.

We created a searchable database with all 20,000 files from Epstein’s Estate Easily find every mention of Trump, Clinton, blackmail, and potential sex crimes in the thousands of private messages between Epstein and his close associates.

Here is the searchable database of Epstein emails that Jen just mentioned: couriernewsroom.com/news/we-crea...

Count the ways they’re corrupting DOJ: Presidents don’t direct AG’s to open criminal cases, especially ones designating only Dems for investigation when POTUS himself is involved. DOJ doesn’t publicize criminal investigations & the AG definitely doesn’t assign them on Twitter.

Kyle Cheney on X: "NEWS: President Trump has issued a *second* pardon for Jan. 6 defendant Dan Wilson.

A clear message to the MAGA-faithful about the value of loyalty & a disgraceful exercise of the power the Founders entrusted the President with to do justice. x.com/kyledcheney/...

the president of the united states is trying to give americans $2k in hush money

By surrendering so utterly and completely at a moment of their maximum leverage and momentum, Senate Democrats taught Trump and his cadre an important lesson: Do enough damage and your opponents will buckle. Because of this surrender, our democracy is more imperiled now than it was before.

Government funding bill cuts food safety regulations. See the provisions for yourself The bill prohibited the FDA from enforcing regulations aimed at increasing traceability of the supply chain, among other rules.

Budget bill’s inclusion of funds for senators to sue DOJ for up to $500,000 each for investigating them is the ultimate pork barrel legislation. I’ll discuss with @chrislhayes.bsky.social on @msnbc.com at 8:25 pm ET.

Megyn Kelly suddenly finds pedophilia very hard to define When a 16-year-old accused Russell Brand of rape, Kelly begged conservatives to condemn him. Now she's splitting hairs about men "into the barely legal type."

Is a man who trafficks 15-year-olds really a pedophile? Asking for a powerful friend.

A teenager in Florida with a homeless parent wanted money for braces and ended up having sex for money with powerful men, setting off a chain of events that would have a dramatic impact on her life and help upend the political career of Representative Matt Gaetz. nyti.ms/49PSkL9

Looks like we’re going to war with Venezuela to distract from the Epstein files.

“Ultimately, between the money she made from her interactions with men and in the food services industry she was able to save up enough money to get braces.”

This little man is out of control.

I feel like I’m saying that all the time.

About half of what it was going to cost to fully fund SNAP in November during the shutdown.

Trump's Pentagon name change could cost up to $2 billion Officially changing the Department of Defense to the Department of War can only be done by Congress and would require updating thousands of signs, rewriting digital code and creating new letterheads,...

Trump & Republicans can find $2 billion to rename the Department of Defense.

But they can’t find the money to make your health care more affordable.

Give me a break.

Trump’s classified “legal analysis” for his strikes in the Caribbean is chilling. He wants to use the military at any time, for any reason, without congressional approval.

After 25 years of war, Americans deserve a public debate on the use of our military. Trump is stifling it.

We are really ruled by the dumbest people in existence.

While Americans suffer & health care costs skyrocket, Donald Trump is hard at work enriching himself and his family.
