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.

Right-wingers used to manufacture images like this with AI or cartoons to claim Christianity was "under attack" in America "because of Democrats."

Here they are making it real over punitive, inhuman treatment of immigrants.

It's a small point, but it's sadly hilarious to me to see the self-professed alpha manly man doing a performative media stunt while flanked by a squad of obvious security meat tanks.

Would love for Vance to explain how he thinks an undocumented person is getting a mortgage to buy a home.
JD Vance: "A lot of young people are saying housing is way too expensive. Why is that? Because we flooded the country with 30 million illegal immigrants who were taking houses that ought by right go to American citizens."

"It's 106 miles to Chicago. We've got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark... and we're wearing sunglasses. Hit it!"
What's from Chicago, hates Illinois Nazis, and is holy as fuck?

NEW REPORT from ProPublica finds that Fox News manufactured riots fit for air, using old footage or footage that was not of Portland, for months leading up to September.

It was so convincing that the network apparently prompted Trump to send federal forces to the Pacific Northwest. trib.al/koDwQMR

Absolutely no chance that he resigns, but given how stressful the whole thing must be for him, his heart just might.
look i’m not saying this will happen and i agree it’s unlikely but let’s just indulge for a second

can you imagine if this just somehow put things over the edge and the president resigned because the conspiracy was exposed

"'girls?' Careful I will renew an old habit"

Anyone that interacted with Epstein knew what he was up to because he didn't just *not* hide it, he actively made jokes about it.
Lest there be any insinuation that Dems spared their own. It would be tough for Kathy Ruemmler—Obama’s WH Counsel from 2011 to mid-2014—to come off looking worse in these docs the committee Dems released. oversightdemocrats.house.gov/sites/evo-su...

"i want you to realize that that dog that hasn't barked is trump. [VICTIM] spent hours at my house with him"

"hours"
"spent" "hours"
VICTIM "spent" HOURS
VICTIM "spent" HOURS "with" TRUMP
VICTIM "spent" HOURS "with" TRUMP at *Epstein's* house

"If he [Trump] says he hasn't been on the plane or to the house, then that gives you [Epstein] a valuable PR and political currency. You can hang him in a way that potentially generates a positive benefit for you, or, if it really looks like he could win, you could save him, generating a debt."
Read the three Epstein email threads released today, which includes a message to Ghislane Maxwell that called Trump the "dog that hasn't barked" and says Trump spent "hours at my house" with one of the alleged sex trafficking victims.

“In one of the messages, Mr. Epstein flatly asserted that Mr. Trump “knew about the girls,” many of whom were later found by investigators to have been underage.”

PSA: tips to protect yourself from scams on Signal.

Every major comms platform has to contend w phishing, impersonation, & scams. Sadly.

Signal is major, and as we've grown we've heard about more of these attacks--scammy people pretending to be something or someone to trick and abuse others. 1/

For anyone thinking "but I have to neutralize the spray!", try this:

Take a cup of vinegar, and dump some baking soda in. See how it violently bubbles up? Now imagine that happening in your eyes.

Now, look up what the byproduct of that reaction is, and imagine THAT in your eyes too.
Pinning this again:

Do not use milk, juice, urine, antacids, baking soda on pepper spray or tear gas. Just water. Plain water..

Optical saline ok in eyes, but maybe save it for the dumbasses who wore contact lenses.
Plain soap or shampoo ok on skin, but never in eyes.

If you have a Dem senator and you're seeing this right now, CALL THEM RIGHT NOW and tell them NO. If you don't know anyone who would be affected by this, call them for my friend Lisa. She cannot afford insurance without ACA subsidies and without health insurance I'm terrified she will die.
! A key group of Senate Democrats is leaning toward voting for a deal to end the shutdown, provided final details can be worked out like worker protections (Gift link)

(Deal does NOT include an ACA extension.)
