I'm sure she's fine with this—as if she's anything else, or takes any action to interfere in this situation, she needs to resign today. America can't have government officials who adopt one policy for their friends and family and one for strangers. She either needs to say this is fine or quit today.

Salt water laced with cancer-causing chemicals, a byproduct of oil and gas drilling, keeps shooting out of the ground in Oklahoma. Experts say it means even more wastewater is spreading underground, poisoning the state’s water supply. With @readfrontier.bsky.social

the Doug Mills video embedded in the NYT Trump aging story is pretty amazing

NEW: Civil rights and weapons experts cite the consequences of federal agents’ use of crowd control weapons: religious leaders shot with pepper balls and noxious chemicals. A nurse nearly blinded by tear gas. Protestors trapped, struggling to breathe. With @frontlinepbs.bsky.social

When the GOP has lost *checks notes*… Ron Paul, we’re really living in the upside down

You don’t need to watch Seth Meyers to see the danger here. Presidents in democracies don’t demand that critics be fired, and federal regulators don’t amplify those demands. It undermines editorial independence and chills dissent.

These clips are way beyond cringeworthy.

Wild graphic on front page of WSJ.

In normal times, it would be a major scandal for the President to direct his AG to criminally investigate his political opponents to deflect from his own involvement in a major scandal — and for the AG to immediately announce she is doing it. The Epstein scandal and cover up just got even bigger.

This is a statement I received from a Epstein survivor who is a Jane Doe. Share it widely.

Huh. Trump dropped the tariffs on coffee, beef, and tropical fruit to LOWER PRICES. I thought other countries paid for those?

This is where we are right now. It’s NOT okay.

I just don’t see how we can pretend even for a moment that anything involving our federal government is remotely normal when the president is covering up his involvement in a child sex trafficking ring. Like, what are we doing here

A "pig butchering" scam might open with a simple “Hi” or some good-natured confusion about why your phone number seems to be in the person’s address book. It's the first step in a process intended to drain your bank account and ruin your life. (Published Sept. 2022)

Raskin: "The DOJ hasn't released any of these emails that mention Trump's name & identify his role in all these activities. Those came from the Epstein estate. So this is a demonstration the govt is deliberately withholding the info everybody is actually looking for & could be damaging to Trump"

"don't worry, he's just into 15-year-olds" perhaps not as exculpatory as you think Also 15-year-olds are not "barely legal." They are minors.

NEW: 2020 footage said to be in 2025. A neighbor who keeps reappearing in the same clip, said to be on different days & months. A broadcast from elsewhere suggested as Portland. How Fox News misled its viewership -- which may have included the president. www.propublica.org/article/port...

extremely huge redistricting news y'all

Who imposed tariffs? Who cut immigration, destroying the ag workforce? Who undermined the Fed? Who halted renewable energy? Who's running deficits?

Look at what this garish, classless, tasteless fool has done to the People’s House.

I wonder if the United States can learn anything from the last time a major industrialized country decided to isolate itself from the rest of the world? Almost a decade after the Brexit vote, GDP in the UK is around 6-8% lower relative to peer countries. (Source: www.nber.org/papers/w34459)

Trump’s tariffs have a constitution problem. Join host Mary Harris and @justinwolfers.bsky.social on What Next for more: slate.com/podcasts/wha...

It’s been 45 days since Adelita Grijalva was elected by the people of Arizona. Mike Johnson is still refusing to swear her in because she’s the final vote for the discharge petition to release the Epstein files.

Trump also just released the guy who lied to the FBI about the Bidens taking bribes. He has ties to Russian intelligence — and Trump’s businesses. Again: The law does not apply to them. newrepublic.com/post/202897/...

This isn't the easiest time to be Jewish in America. But now—and for a long time—it's been significantly harder to be Muslim. Barring Jews from government was one of the Nazis' signature moves. Every American Jew has an obligation to speak out against the new Nazis trying to do the same to Muslims.

Remember that sting-y Twitter reply Dan Crenshaw smoked Matt Gaetz with? The community had something to say about it: 💅 😁 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇

Every Friday night, as the markets close, a chill runs down my spine. Somewhere in D.C., a comms official is whispering, “Perfect time to announce it.”

In 2008, a blogger named Curtis Yarvin called for a future president to kill foreign aid programs as part of a plan to replace democracy with dictatorship. Now 600,000 people are dead—and 14 million will die by 2030, according to the Lancet. This is the running death toll of tech fascism.

“He’s having a seizure and they’re trying to rip the baby out of her hands”

Trump: - Doesn’t want to talk about prices or employment. - Is asking SCOTUS *right now* to let him stop funding SNAP so he can use hunger as a weapon. - Is still lying about trillions of dollars in tariffs. All while he builds a ballroom and remodels the White House.

Trump to Americans right now

BREAKING: A Trump-appointed judge rules Trump’s Portland military takeover unconstitutional. Judge Immergut permanently blocked Trump’s order to federalize Oregon’s National Guard — calling it a violation of the Tenth Amendment and a power grab beyond lawful authority.

A clarification

DONALD TRUMP FIRE YOUR SOLICITOR GENERAL IMMEDIATELY THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER

This is what a New Era looks like.

The Communist Manifesto was published in 1848.

Don't worry, it'll get much, *much* worse We're only in the top of the second inning of the collapse of the United States Just remember that some things are unforgivable, and that includes voting for Donald Trump after all knew he was a felon, rapist, con man, pathological liar and insurrectionist

Another politician who believes in {checks notes} nothing—just what New Jersey needs If only an election were coming up in which New Jersey voters could send a message to—I don't know, at least someone *like* Jack Ciattarelli—to the effect that Americans are sick of politicians with no core beliefs

Welch: "This has nothing to do with the shutdown. The law requires and the funds are available to continue SNAP right now without any interruption. So that is a decision the president is making on his own to allow people to go hungry."

Donald Trump Jr. in 2021: “Those Hunter no-show no-experience board seats didn’t come without an expected return!” Donald Trump Jr. in 2024: Gets $2.8M in stock for joining an advisory board that didn't exist until he joined it. New: me, for @forbes.com 1/

Powell's press conference is more consequential than usual: 1. December rate cut may not happen 2. The FOMC is divided ("strongly differing views") 3. Powell very worried—about both inflation and unemployment. Stocks are falling, bond yields rising, as he speaks.
