I don’t think so.

This is a documented case of public man-made death. Why? Because a government dismantled oversight, purged experts, and ruled by decree, all things our assessment highlights.

If **Jeffrey Epstein** thinks you're a evil and demented sociopath, the odds are overwhelming that you are, in fact, an evil and demented sociopath.

no see using these photos would be beneath the Times, which would never take material from a dubious source, unless it was, say, hacked documents showing that a guy born in Africa had put 'African-American' on his application form for a university he didn't get into. You know, something important.
Can we circle back to the part where the NY Times never disclosed that they have incriminating information on Donald Trump from sent by Epstein that's been sitting on their email servers for nearly a decade?
Stuff like this makes me wonder why there hasn't been any reporting about Trump having affairs during his presidencies

The thing to understand about this is that this catastrophe in the UK has redounded to the political benefit of the very same people and political movement that pushed for it! Extremely perverse.
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)

This likely won’t be the last intelligence sharing suspension we see over this - based on the publicly available evidence, these strikes don’t come close to meeting the threshold for deadly force.

He just doesn't understand the assignment.

"Standing up to Trump" isn't the goal, or even *a* goal. It's the method by which the Dems 1) let Trump implode as he screws the country, and 2) demonstrate that the Dems are capable of fighting against Trump, and are therefore a credible alternative.

Good for Ossoff.

The increase costs for healthcare will mean families will have none. Food assistance is always available at food banks which all citizens should support. Replace the democrats that caved.

My Senator, #JonOssoff, is up for reelection in ‘26. His seat is considered the most vulnerable. He just voted “No” on the CR bill, perhaps risking his political future.

The kind of courage and selflessness we’d need more of in the Democratic Party.

One of the unacknowledged advantages of this awful era is that it's revealing for all to see the putrid connections between great wealth and great power.

The intentions of the oligarchs are fully exposed and more blatant than ever.

But remember: We outnumber the oligarchs.

More than generous offer.
Democrats now opening up a gap on the generic ballot as the shutdown drags on.

The Democrats: "oh no oh no we're so scared, we need to give them a deal, make sure this doesn't happen again until after midterms"

The “what should poor people be allowed to eat” debate is infuriating.

The answer is simple.

They should be allowed to eat anything.

It’s no one’s business.

Ideally we would agree that food is a basic human right & it would be plentiful for all.

Until then, stop judging. Fed is best.

The president of the United States thinks asylum-seekers come from mental asylums.

He says it in almost every interview where the topic of migration comes up.

How is this not 25th Amendment territory? How is he not an embarrassment to this entire country?
