I just don’t see how we can pretend even for a moment that anything involving our federal government is remotely normal when the president is covering up his involvement in a child sex trafficking ring. Like, what are we doing here

Everyone does know what's going on here, right? Should the Epstein evidence bill pass both the House and Senate, these criminals will say it can't be released because there is an active investigation. Never mind that a thorough investigation was completed, and the DOJ was prepared to try Epstein.

The reactionary centrists are not ready for what's coming at them with Katie Wilson. They have no natural defenses against a socialist bus-riding mom who's laser-focused on providing direct material gains for the working poor. Probably the most pragmatic left-politician I've ever met

The funniest thing about Twitter these days is that right wing dipshits still think their content is being suppressed by some unseen liberal forces.

Elon Musk has owned the site for over three years now.

The New York Times **HAD EMAILS IN ITS POSSESSION** tying Donald Trump directly to Jeffrey Epstein's global elite pedophile cabal conspiracy –– in the middle of a 2016 election where a global elite pedophile cabal conspiracy was a HUGE topic –– and they didn't publish one word it for a decade.
Congrats again, everyone

"This could take down Democrats, too."

I know. And I frankly wouldn't give even an itty bitty damn if it implicated every Democratic man in Congress, every Democratic hopeful for 2028 and every Democrat who has even thought about running for office.

Down with the sex predators, wherever they are.

@typewriteralley.bsky.social @safesler.bsky.social @theurbanist.org just got a text poll with a question about a KCM transit district for next year as an fyi. Doesn't STBD expire next year? Chance that Seattle renews it and stacks it with this one?

This puts the Seattle mayoral election outside of recount territory!

A recount is required when the race is within 2,000 votes AND 0.5%. Katie Wilson now leads Bruce Harrell by 0.72%. #waelex #SEAelex
Katie Wilson has widened her lead over Bruce Harrell to nearly 2,000 votes in Seattle's mayoral race — up more than 600 from Tuesday — following today's ballot drop that added approximately 1,650 ballots.

Wilson - 138,489 (50.19%)

Stop using the language of the rapist.

It is not sex with children, it is rape of children.
It is not underage girls, it is children.
It is not sex trafficking, it is rape trafficking.

Our leading news organizations turned a cache of ultimately-innocuous emails into a scandal-coded weeklong series of front page stories leading into the 2016 election. If they do not cover the "emails from notorious pedophile implication the President" emails with the same fervor, it's curious!

Duh. Johnson was never going to swear Grijalva in unless he knew someone was going to flip their vote.
Nancy Mace is expected to pull her support for the petition to release the Epstein Files, the day before Adelita Grijalva is sworn in.

So Harrell is going to concede when?
An update from Seattle:

King County's Board of Elections says there are roughly 1,400 ballots left that will be added today. (At that point, we'd be left with the roughly 1,500 'challenged' ballots that can be cured through next week.)

Katie Wilson is up 1,346 votes right now.
Good morning! We have around 1400 accepted ballots to add to the count this afternoon.

JESUS. I want to remind you that Trump was mainly elected the first time on the panic over emails revealing... risotto recipes. Now, read this shit.

I'll get back to "party unity" as soon as the Senate Minority Leader tells us if he voted for the Democratic party nominee for mayor of his city.

I'm tired of party unity only ever running one way.

Unlike you, I can read and that’s why I know what the constitution says.
Trump on Ilhan Omar: "I look at somebody who comes from Somalia...and she comes in and tells us how to run our country. 'The Constitution says this, the Constitution says that.' The whole thing is crazy."

So is Bruce Harrell going to say Katie's name when he announces he's conceded after the recount or is he just going to be a dick the whole campaign?

Anyone want to take bets?
