How thoughtful of Howard Lutnick to bring a bunch of children to Epstein Island. They’ll have lots of other kids to play with.

Like most of the House, Mike Johnson has only been there in the Trump era. It’s not simply that he’s abdicating his power as a coequal branch, it’s that he doesn’t seem to understand that it *is* a coequal branch.
WELKER: MTG says you're '100% under the direct orders of the WH'
JOHNSON: The president and I work closely together because we have unified govt. That's what the American people voted for
W: Is there any area where you disagree?
J: Yes. But we do that privately. I'm going to support my president.

I say again: All the worst people in the world band together to give each other money, power, and influence. And it fucking sucks so so much.

If you're an adult who was vaccinated, you should get your titers run to make sure you still have immunity. Vaccination can wane and/or you may not have generated a strong immune response. That was ok when we had herd immunity but we're likely about to lose our "measles free" status.
Vaccinate your kids, you friggin nuts.
Measles cases this year have reached nearly 26% of last year's total cases, which totaled 2,255.

This year Americans have been told who is and is not a criminal. But unlike over 70% of those detained by ICE, Trump has pardoned actual violent criminals, child sex abusers and fraudsters. All they have to do is make him rich.

we said all along that they wanted Gawker dead not because we embarrassed a pro wrestler but because the Epstein story is one Gawker was covering a decade before most other people caught up & was just one of many stories exposing powerful people and their misdeeds
Among the batch of newly released emails from Jeffrey Epstein: Epstein telling Peter Thiel he would “gladly share…expenses for the Gawker suit.”
This was sent the day after @rmac.bsky.social and @mattdrange.bsky.social reported in Forbes that Thiel was behind the lawsuit that would bankrupt Gawker

The outrage just absolutely all over this, utter horror by the investigating officer.
The officer REFUSED AN ORDER to call the victims when asked to, because the officer wanted the State Attorney to be the one to deliver the news of the disgusting deal they cut.

Holy shit. After grand jury subpoenas had been served, Epstein reached out to one of the victims and told her he would pay her to not cooperate with law enforcement.
My god, this case. It could not have been any more dead to rights.

And from there it's just victim after victim after victim after victim. Astonishing number of victim interviews. Same MO every time.

I found the first investigative file from the first complainant against Epstein in 2005.
There are descriptions from the officer, over several interviews of the girl, of her pulling her knees up on the chair, drawing doodles, & the officer high-fiving her to keep her calm as she speaks of horror.

Sadly this is how I expect we will deal with the disaster zone that Trump and Miller leave behind.
No fireworks. No parties. No flags. No celebrations.
No comments from the Brexit leaders. No "wasn't that a great idea."
Six years after we left the EU - everyone knows it was a disaster.

An exceptionally stupid and contingent set of circumstances made Stephen Miller the most influential ideologue in the US. There is no future for the left or liberalism that does not take as a core mission ensuring he is punished for his crimes & no one as hateful as him is ever close to power again.

The stakes of Millerism are much higher than simply “our democracy”
Millerism means Minneapolis times 100 for a decade. It would tend the United States apart. It is something close to Milosevic’s line.

We need to shut down the word "performative" until we can figure out what the hell is going on. Of course adopting symbols of protest and resistance is performative! Performance is a core strategy for mass movements!! That's why the call them demonstrations!!!

Biden's FBI was trying to build cases right up until the end of his term, victims told Tara Palmeri that they were being invited in to look at photos and everything stopped when Trump came into office.
The thing that shocks me most is that all of this incriminating stuff was sitting at the DOJ for 4 years and Biden & Garland were not cynical or ruthless enough to use it against Trump & Musk in the run up to 2024.
If only they were the evil ‘weaponizers of government’ that MAGA claimed they were!
