The random hostility towards all foreigners is just weird.

Foreign students subsidize higher education for American students! There’s literally no downside!

Seems like a nice guy
When asked if there was anything "incriminating" in Epstein's emails, Trump pointed a finger in a female reporter's face and snapped. 'Quiet. Quiet, Piggy.'

For the next three years at least Democrats have to be two things:

1) an ideologically liberal political party in the traditional sense, pursuing left-of-center policy goals,

And 2) the core of a non-ideological, trans-partisan pro-democracy movement mobilizing in defense of the constitution.
Raskin: We are a big tent. We must be a huge, vast tent. I say this is a party that’s got room for Marjorie Taylor Greene if she wants to come over.

Just want to remind everyone posting about the South Carolina football team to be extra careful. When in doubt, use a comma.

Prominent Democrats? Like 2000s New York socialite and television personality Donald Trump?
“.. Trump directed the Justice Department on Friday to investigate ties that the sex offender Jeffrey Epstein had to prominent Democrats and institutions, and Attorney General Pam Bondi named a prosecutor to lead the inquiry.”

It is, I suppose, a testament to Trump’s unique ability to desensitize us that the revelation that he was contemporaneously implicated in the most prominent child exploitation scandal in U.S. history, by two convicted perpetrators, isn’t an earth-shattering news story, even on the day that it broke.

It’s not a fucking “allegation”. It’s a contemporaneous statement of fact from a private email conversation b/w 2 child sex traffickers that occurred years before Trump was politically relevant or accused of anything. Don’t make it sound like he just came back to life yesterday to bring down Trump.

This is - or at least should be - the most explosive presidential scandal in American history. Literally.
A direct email exchange from 2011 between Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, just released by House Oversight Committee Democrats.

Beginning to think this Trump fella may not be as principled and upstanding as he purports to be…

I’m tremendously disappointed in @cortezmasto.senate.gov, whom I have given a great deal of time and money to over the years.

I hope she’ll realize that this deal is a total betrayal, and reconsider her position.

“Here’s the thing — I know nothing about it”

People are talking about his ignorance as the scandal.

But we know Trump better than that.

The real question is, Why was that the *least* incriminating answer that he could think of?
O'DONNELL: Why did you pardon Changpeng Zhao?

TRUMP: Are you ready? I don't know who he is

O'DONNELL: His crypto exchange Binance helped facilitate a $2b purchase of World Liberty Financial's stablecoin. And they you pardoned him.

TRUMP: Here's the thing -- I know nothing about it
