Is this guy a stand in for the worst person you know or is he making an angry face because the worst person he knew made a good point?

My initial take was the latter.

I wish I wasn’t such an antisocial homebody who cut Republicans out of my life years ago so I could shame Republicans more personally.

Release the documents because the victims have been demanding this for years. That should really be the bottom line here. RELEASE ALL OF THE DOCUMENTS (including photos and videos)

How many NYTimes editors were at Epstein’s island?

Or is it just that their friends and sources were raping kids?
The question everyone is asking right now is this: NYT had deep access into all of this in real time and reported none of it. Why? In consequence, no NYT reporting on this subject is trustworthy.

Wasn’t expecting the Epstein scandal to blow up the New York Times but sure, why not
To recap: Jeffrey Epstein offered a NY Times reporter photos taken in Epstein's kitchen of Donald Trump and girls in bikinis *and* implored the NYT reporter to put this information in the public discourse in 2015

What did the NY Times editors know about this offer?

Epstein: I’m best friends with this pedo running for President, here’s a bunch of stories about how big a pedo he is

NYT: but her emails
Landon Thomas Jr of the New York Times got told by Jeffrey Epstein that Trump walked into a glass door bc he was so busy staring at girls in Epstein's house and didn't print it. wild that the Times didn't consider that newsworthy.

every tiny crumb that leaks out is a career ending bombshell and we’re all just supposed to go on with our lives while our elected representatives shrug and tell us there’s nothing to be done about the president’s involvement in a child sex trafficking operation

In a remotely sane world, Trump would immediately resign or be removed from office by his party, which should then demolish itself for having pledged its loyalty to this man.

the only thing democrats should be saying today is “the entire republican party is engaged in a coverup of the most notorious child sex trafficking ring in world history”

Think of how much cheaper insurance will be when a few million people get to call in and talk to humans with negotiating authority every year.

What a fucking moron.
Trump: "I want the money to go into an account for people where they buy their own health insurance. It's so good. The insurance will be better. It'll cost less. Everybody is gonna be happy. They're gonna feel like entrepreneurs. They're actually able to go out & negotiate their own insurance"

Aside from calling my Senators, what can a Minnesotan do to help show Schumer the door?

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.

The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.

People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.

And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

Listening to these 8 Dem Senators explain their vote convinces me that they are either idiots or liars. Either is plausible.

Agree.

Sen Hassan, asked what will happen if Republicans don't carry out the deal, "Well, shame on them."

This is not what people were mobilizing for on Oct 18.

Retiring Republicans tend to side with democracy.

Retiring Democrats side with, well, how is Sinema making $$$ now?
Durbin is trash. Yes, lots of great stuff in the past. Sure he’s a decent guy. But he’s pure trash now. Important to see that the bulk of Team Cave is made up of people who are retiring.
Durbin is a YES on this deal: “At Democrats’ urging, today’s bill is not the same one we’ve voted down 14 times. Republicans finally woke up and realized their Groundhog Day needed to end. This bill is not perfect, but it takes important steps to reduce their shutdown’s hurt.”
