Starting a war to distract his base from the Epstein files
November 13, 2025 at 10:54 PM
If there are really 100 Republicans willing to vote to release the file because they don't want to be known for protecting a pedophile then it is possible the same is true for impeachment. Still longshot odds but not zero.
At this point we have to assume that if the Epstein files are released they will
- end the Trump Presidency
- implicate many other prominent Republicans
- destroy the careers of AG Bondi and his other defenders
This is beginning to feel like the greatest scandal in American history.
Trump has done enormous harm to the country.
He is a deeply corrupt and venal man.
He is wildly unpopular, his agenda more so. He's lost the consent of the governed.
He is old, infirm & clearly no longer mentally competent to run a nation.

It is time now to start talking about him moving on👇

At the same time the NY Times was hyping Hillary Clinton's emails, it had a reporter with emails from Jeffrey Epstein that were highly damaging to Trump.

The more NYT apologists try to minimize this the clearer it becomes that they don't understand why much of the public doesn't trust legacy media.

BREAKING: Rep. Adelita Grijalva has officially signed onto the Epstein discharge petition. That means there are now 218 votes — and a full vote must come to the floor.

Looking forward to DOJ refusing to release the Epstein files and the arguments DOJ will make defending that action in court.

Run girl! Sign that petition promptly!
If I were a newly sworn in congresswoman I'd be sprinting through the capital to sign that discharge petition moments after taking the oath.

Nancy Mace is expected to pull her support for the petition to release the Epstein Files, the day before Adelita Grijalva is sworn in.

Wait, I'm supposed to believe that the convicted child sex trafficker who was inexplicably moved to a minimum security prison after an interview with the president's personal lawyer and who the president's allies have been portraying as a victim has blackmail material on the president?

Ppl need to understand what's happening here.

The GOP response to the shutdown was: You're gonna cave, or we're going to hurt vulnerable people by shutting off SNAP. The Dems, unwilling to let that happen, caved.

Having watched that, the GOP is now saying: "Give us what we want on abortion or ..."

There never was much money. He over promised and if this case doesn't go his way then that will be made (more) public.
Oh, so he totally stole the money

Call your senators and let them know they share the blame if they do not push for a change of leadership.

Schumer and Durbin need to go.

The way to restore trust is to take a stand against leadership too weak to meet this moment. Complicity through silence will worsen it.
The Dems sabotaged public trust. Poll after poll suggested most of the blame was on Trump. Last week’s elections suggested the shutdown was a legitimate resistance to illegitimate rule. Pressure was mounting. Rs were sweating. Trump was calling for the end of the filibuster. Then Schumer caved.

The problem isn't that they caved for a promised vote; the problem is that the vote will be a meaningless gesture impressing no one but Senate Democrats.

It will fail. ACA beneficiaries will suffer considerably as a result and there will be no consequences of any kind for Republicans.
Whoa -- Sen. Durbin went to up Leader Thune during the vote last night to tell him that on the shutdown vote and ACA promise that "8 of us are sticking our neck out that you're going to keep your word. I hope you will. He said 'I assure you I will,'" Durbin says just now

Magical thinking. Voters want to see Democrats fight for them. It's not enough to believe Democrats are ideologically aligned. We have to believe it's worth our time to vote and condescending lip service is not enough.
Shaheen: "I think we can get a bipartisan bill out of the Senate that will address this [healthcare] issue. And if not, we know that the voters are going to know who's on their side and who's going to hold them accountable."

Please don’t think this beltway game of having retiring Dem senators vote yes while everyone else votes no is going to shield leadership from the end result. We see what is happening and can’t be fooled by those games.

As others have said, we all need to be clear on the fact that what is happening in Chicago is a preview of what they are planning for all blue cities.

Especially as midterms approach.

They will tear gas us at the polls and say, oh, this isn't voter suppression. It's just business as usual.
Kyle Kingsbury is not a journalist. He is not an op-ed writer.

He is a computer safety researcher.

And he has written one of the most compelling, comprehensive accounts of the ongoing hell in Chicago that you could possibly imagine.

Why is a retiring senator the minority whip?

That role should have transitioned the moment Durbin announced he won't seek reelection. Even absent the shutdown appeasement, it was already time for him to go.

Much like 2024, Democrats seem to think there’s a binary choice in the 2026 election between voting for Republicans (evil) and voting for Democrats (feckless).

They rarely acknowledge the third option which inevitably harms them the most: staying home.

she called it
New from me in @newrepublic.com: “Primary Every Democrat.”

If the current crop cannot demonstrate they care more about democracy than enjoying three-day weekends, we should flood the zone and challenge them all.
Primary Every Democrat
It’s exhausting to watch poll-tested, donor-beholden congressional Democrats continue to be too old, too cloistered, and too bumbling to do anything as the government burns.

Caving for nothing means that Democrats are the ones responsible for the shutdown because they could have taken this shit deal weeks ago.
