Oh wow!!

REP. @aoc.bsky.social : “I think these emails demonstrate precisely why Republicans have been trying to block the release of the Epstein files… Trump had a very close personal relationship with Epstein and spent time with the victims… it’s horrifying.”

The right can’t decide if it's okay to hate Jews The fallout from Nick Fuentes's appearance on Tucker Carlson continues.

Everyone who even lightly affiliates with the GOP could, say, go look in a mirror and ask themselves whether they should keep debating the level of Nazi loving that is acceptable.

Instead, the far-right’s favorite fellas keep recording podcasts.

Just a reminder, the coward who refused to accept an election loss in 2020 and then committed crimes trying to overthrow that election will certainly cheat, abuse his powers, and break the law to try to win the 2026 & 2028 elections.

He’s a real threat to democracy. Believe it.

Horrific and tragic.

He’s Acting Pretty Damn Guilty Trump usually acts like a guy with something to hide. But his Epstein behavior is on another level.

Trump's unpopularity is as real as his authoritarian agenda. www.thebulwark.com/p/hes-acting...

You have one job

Breaking WSJ:

Fannie Mae watchdogs who were removed from their jobs had been probing if Trump appointee Bill Pulte had improperly obtained mortgage records of key Democratic officials, including New York Attorney General Letitia James, according to people familiar with the matter.

Gov. Pritzker: “Donald Trump doesn't know anything about Chicago…The man is demented. He really has no idea what he's doing.”

Deeply sick stuff from Trump here. HE did this to our country. Donald Trump did it to us. HE created this fiasco!

Lots of people are sharing my video from FRIDAY about the Senate deal of that day, thinking it's about the SUNDAY deal. It is not. They are two entirely different kettles of fish. A great reminder always to check dates, although I've now hidden it so it should stop circulating.

"At its core, MAHA is a conspiracy theory...

I can’t diet, detox or exercise my way out of cancer. The only reason I’m alive to write this is because of the treatments afforded to me by earlier investments in research and federal agencies guided by science."

I feel like Bluesky should create a 🤬 button.

That ISN'T makeup. It's his inherent evil rising to the surface as a warning to others.

We were promised the files. Ghisliane got a puppy.

🤬

The corruption is unconscionable.

Dead on arrival.

What did you do today? Probably not this

Since 2020, I have been fighting for mail-in voting and the GOP has been fighting against it. A critical court case is now going before the U.S. Supreme Court. I can assure you that I will be there fighting hard to ensure every lawful ballot counts.

Reminder: puppies are up for adoption, which you can see in the thread I'm quoting here, but in the meantime some more photos. They play a lot and they sleep a lot.

That last photo I'll explain below in this thread...

This is a good example of why it is important to remember that politics is about power, not aesthetics.

Your party ID, who you vote for, etc.? They are about the compromises necessary to enact the policies you want and thwart the ones you don’t.

They aren’t style choices, esp in our system!
