I think it is never good for a sitting Member of Congress in a one-seat majority to even half-seriously raise concerns about possible death threats directed against them.
He is also trying to establish the sitting President of the United States' relationship to a pedophile; there are real stakes.

INBOX: Rep. Thomas Massie, who has enraged Trump for his insistence on blocking tariffs and releasing the Epstein files according to the law, just issued what is widely known among Chinese dissidents as "a declaration of no suicidal intent" (不自殺聲明), a sign of extreme distress.

Doctors say that vaccines protect children from dangerous diseases. A nepo baby who barbecues dogs and snorts cocaine off toilet seats says that vaccines make children vulnerable to 5G radiation. For busy parents, it can be hard to know who to trust.

It's not enough to criminally prosecute these people when Trump is out of office. We need to be going after their fucking money relentlessly, hounding them and their families and dismantling their financial empires like a resurrected Thomas Dewey from the 1930s.

MAGA is a cult of personality who worship celebrity and ostentatious wealth and all its vulgar trappings. Every Trump appointee is living out a jet-setter fantasy, traveling around the world on private jets with a retinue of bodyguards and valets carrying their shopping bags.

I know there are a lot of valid frameworks from which to examine why billionaires and their hangers-on are destroying everything and everyone, and obviously I’m biased here, but I think most of the reasons revolve around them being eugenicists first and foremost
I parsed through some of the emails in the Epstein files, and it’s very clear that Epstein was a eugenicist weirdo. Something he very much had in common with the billionaire class à la Elon Musk, Peter Thiel and Donald Trump. New for @motherjones.com.

This elitist view that only rich/Ivy/private school kids should study/have access the liberal arts is so deeply ingrained in so many highly educated Democrats’ views (including tons who majored in the lib arts themselves) that they don’t even realize they hold it, let alone how ugly & elitist it is
(3) But the Democrat view is also bad: while it's fine for people at Princeton and Harvard to study Latin and Sanskrit, public higher education is about job training and $ ROI. There is no room for the idea that curiosity-driven inquiry is a good that should be supported by the public.

i think nominating Gavin Newsom will lose the White House again for Democrats. The party's left flank will stay home again because he's an empty corporate shell. The age of Democrats punching left to appeal to the center is over and it's now a matter of if the party as a whole realizes that or not.
