An excellent article that has no paywall. Really explains how much Trump has screwed himself over Epstein.
Truth by @justinglawe.bsky.social in PN:

"Trump and Republicans are lying. Lie after desperate, confusing, and impossible lie, all aimed at an impossible goal: erasing history and the many deep and troubling ties between Epstein and Trump."

MAGA's Epstein gaslighting is unsustainable
To believe anything they say requires a complete suspension of common sense.

Solar capacity is expected to triple based on new projects in the pipeline.

Total global solar capacity, including all projects in construction and planned, is expected to reach almost 3 terawatts, with 80% concentrated in just 15 countries.

Same kid. Same. I’ve heard the saying “pills don’t teach skills” and fully back a personalized approach, but don’t vilify ADHD meds. While I am well aware of the side effects, it works. I mean, people can abuse cough syrup. These medications save lives.

Me, a sane person: Surely you fascists can't blame *everything* on illegal immigration!

Fascist, cracking knuckles: Watch.
this defies parody. also helps explain why Sec Bessent bizarrely blamed immigrants when confronted with a question about high beef prices

Home invasions.
Child sex crimes.
Homicide.

Just a couple things that some of the 1500+ January 6 defendants have been convicted of since Trump released them back onto our streets.

The GOP isn't the party of law and order.

They're the party of lawlessness and violence.

I don’t go to a gym but have a modest yet effective setup in my garage and this (family protection) is one of the main motivations I have to work out, this and being able to carry two (or three) ten year olds in case of emergency. A foolish thought by the right is thinking libs are soft and weak.
Good morning.

This is your reminder to get to the gym so that you can beat up racists if you have to.

It’s nice to see media start to get a clue and actually follow up on these lies rather than just going along with their BS.
KARL: The president claims that Thanksgiving costs are down 25%. Does he know that's not true?

HASSETT: Well if you look at Walmart--

KARL: Wait a minute. I've gotta stop you. The Walmart package this year contains much less than the one last year. That's why the price is less.

“We’re afraid of walkable distances now?” I was one of the first to go after the liars & conspiracy theorists who targeted the “15 Minute Cities” message. Here’s my interview with Aussie National Radio with @greenj.bsky.social — give it a listen, and think about how we should push back on ALL lies.

WATCH: Seriously, if you’re following ANY bike-lane debate, you HAVE TO WATCH this news story. You actually can’t make this up. Ford claims without evidence that bike-lanes are bad for small business, and THE ACTUAL BUSINESS ASSOCIATION obliterates him with data.

Stores in the Annex say the Bloor bike lanes have been a big boost to business. As Michelle Mackey reports, the neighborhood's BIA wants the province to back off its new bill that could see the lanes ...

There needs to be trials and there needs to be people sent to die in a prison cell. Consequences must fall on the people who issued the orders and those who carried them out. We must make the punishment of these people a national spectacle that will be remembered for generations.
