Imagine how Epstein's rape victims feel about Trump calling it a "hoax."
In February, AG Pam Bondi said the Epstein list was "sitting on my desk." Later she said it didn't exist.
In July, Trump said without evidence that Bill Clinton "went to the island." Now Trump says the whole thing is a hoax.

This is ghoulish.
The state of Georgia is keeping a deceased Black woman’s corpse hooked up to machines against her family’s wishes because she was 9 weeks pregnant and they cannot let them shut off the machines b/c it violates their anti-abortion laws

“ITS TORTURE,” says her family

Adriana Smith's been on life support 90+ days with weeks to go in her pregnancy. Her family questions Georgia’s heartbeat law — and why they had no say in her care.

Something that’s very clear is that Trump is old and checked out. He wants to play the role of president but has zero interest in doing the job and is happy to outsource the real work to Musk, Vought and a crew of feral zealots.

"Employees of Heritage, the conservative think tank that produced the Project 2025 policy blueprint ... said they plan to use facial recognition software and a database of hacked usernames and passwords in order to identify contributors to the online encyclopedia, who mostly work under pseudonyms."
Scoop: I obtained a confidential presentation outlining how a major conservative think tanks plans to go after volunteer editors on Wikipedia who it says are "abusing their position" and promoting antisemitism

There’s never really a point during any given day when I think in terms of party identity. I’m not a “Democrat” or a “Republican.” I’m a fucking human being with the ability to think.

I think it's vitally important to understand the anti-science movement, how far it's advanced, and what's at stake for everyone.

One small thing that is often left out is how neatly and completely the anti-trans panic, particularly youth GAC bans, fit in that framework.

okay minecraft peeps:
my 6yos want to play minecraft together on the Nintendo Switch that's hooked up to the TV
the internet seems to indicate that's possible but the Switch is unconvinced
(they don't have minecraft accounts, and we have joycons and two faux pro controllers, if that helps)

The pandemic forced Americans to think and act collectively and while there were amazing examples during peak COVID of all kinds of people doing just that, a majority of Americans came away thinking “that sucked; I don’t want to have think about other people.”
i think this is broadly true, a lot more acceptance of it across the board even though the vote totals are similar to 2016 www.politico.com/news/2024/12...

Trump rips McCarthy for setting a debt ceiling vote during his administration, implies if Johnson doesn’t make Dems raise it before then a default/depression may ensue.

(bc Republicans will insist on massive cuts to Medicare/Medicaid/SS etc to offset his tax cuts for the rich)
