"AKSHUALLY it's ephebophilia."
Dershowitz: The predecessor on your show described Epstein as a convicted pedophile. He pleaded guilty to one count of having sex for money with a 17-year-and-10-month-old person. That’s not a pedophile.

I'm not even a believer and even I'm like "This seems kind of blasphemous."
hi this is bad and whatever developer is presuming to speak for jesus via an LLM should do put down their phone and do some serious prayer

That's pretty much what I figured they'd have to do: A two-month winter break with games in southern or domed stadiums bookending it.
MLS will take a break from mid-December through early to mid-February, as reported yesterday.

Will likely see more games in warmer markets in December/Feb, and conversely more in northern markets in July-August.

But never more than 3 in row for a team at home/away.
BREAKING: MLS owners officially voted to flip to a "summer-spring" format beginning in mid-July and running through the end of May. Will start in 2027.

Also voted on the regular season format.

Details and quotes here from Palm Beach.

"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.
Megyn Kelly: "I know somebody very close to this case…Jeffrey Epstein, in this person's view, was not a pedophile…He was into the barely legal type, like he liked 15 year old girls…He wasn't into like 8 year olds…There's a difference between a 15 year old and a 5 year old."

MORE DOCUMENTS obtained by Oversight’s subpoena of Jeffrey Epstein’s estate include communications between Epstein and Steve Bannon, Larry Summers, and others. Take a look: oversightdemocrats.house.gov/sites/evo-su...
🚨BREAKING: Oversight Dems have received new emails from Jeffrey Epstein’s estate that raise serious questions about Donald Trump and his knowledge of Epstein’s horrific crimes.

Read them for yourself. It’s time to end this cover-up and RELEASE THE FILES.

One of the GOP's sweatier Epstein defenses has been "if they had good stuff they'd have used it when Biden was president." But the growing awareness that Garland spiked anything that could look political explains this!
I feel like “mad at Merrick Garland” is going to hit a whole new level.

Democrats have been fighting for months to address America's healthcare crisis

For the millions who will lose coverage
For people with cancer who won't get the care they need
For working families who can't afford to pay $25K more a year for healthcare

We will keep fighting

I’ve never heard a president booed this loudly in my life. Holy cow!

Left a message with Catherine Cortez Masto's DC and Las Vegas offices to tell her to vote no, otherwise I would be very interested in a 2028 primary challenger.

Turned off the Lions-Commanders game when Trump came on, and called both my Dem senators to tell them not to surrender.
Following up on this. This remains a ‘cave is minutes or hours away’ situation. If you want to impact how this plays out you need to contact senators literally now. I want to add additional points of context. What I’m relaying is what I’ve picked up from highly reliable sources.
Sounds like the squishes in the senate caucus are ready to pull the plug with no ACA changes. This is real. If you want to register your opinion you shld call yr senator in the next hour. They not only want to reopen w/nothing. They want cover from their colleagues who still want to hold out.

Charlize Theron in Young Adult
What’s your all time favorite Hollywood Homely fail? When a woman is meant to be unattractive but she’s gorgeous. Thinking of how Safety Not Guaranteed has a key moment where a man’s ex is in the script old and no longer attractive and she’s a knockout who the movie still plays as old.

Tonight's results are truly great, but they also make shenanigans even more likely next year.

Vote in numbers too big for them to rig.
they’re going to make the entire 2026 midterms about trans kids in bathrooms and they are going to get absolutely dunked to hell

protect trans kids: it’s the right thing to do and you’re going to win
i genuinely think they believe that the they/them ads won the election and not like, anger over inflation

and so they'll keep trying to double down on social issues
