The Epstein story gets a something that is tearing at the heart of the electorate: elite impunity. The idea that wealthy and powerful people can do terrible things *at scale* and face no consequences for them. Whatever political party actually stops it could rule the country for a generation.

pretty funny in retrospect that QAnon hinged on the idea that powerful elites at the highest levels of government were smart enough to talk in code when sending emails to each other about their despicable crimes

All the Epstein emails are powerful elites saying shit like “Hello my friend the pedophile, i need your advice as a pedophile, what do you think about this other pedophile? Pedophilic Regards, your Friend ;)” and instead of swinging from a gibbet most of them are still writing op-eds against leftism

this right here is both 100% correct and why both biden and garland fundamentally misunderstood their moments
They believe that because it is true, and it is the job of society to correct that impression by making it very visibly and painfully not true to everyone who believes it in the near future

Something the US needs to accept too is that without a large-scale correction imposing consequences on a large number of people, the crisis of governance here will continue indefinitely

Our editorial stance is kidnappings are bad. This is not Real Journalism because it's important to be neutral about atrocities
Got turned down on a piece about ICE in Chicago for an international news org because they believed I couldn’t be objective about my neighbors getting kidnapped. And well, guilty as charged I guess.

One horrific thing to me is that the president- a man who has gotten away with everything including literal murder up to this point- seems extremely nervous about anything regarding Epstein coming out. Like how bad does it have to be

Democrats at every level of power could simply repeat "he must resign" over and over and over again. It's what the GOP would do if the situation were reversed. Further erode his power by pushing him to lash out more.

People really need to stop framing it is a question of getting more evidence. I mean, sure, that too. But we know. We all know. The president of the United States raped children. Say that. When they get mad at you for saying it, say it again and treat them like an idiot for pretending they doubt it.

As if we didn’t already have enough problems with public trust in journalism and the collapse of local news, someone thought it would be a good idea to add dynamic AI pricing to the mix.
Another reason to hate AI… it decided that I should pay over 2x as much for an @mlive.com subscription! Did it just scrape tax assessor data and decide we’re rich? Just going to cancel.

Update it’s definitely not a mistake. Very alarming, esp absent any information at all about what specifically was judged to be in violation

I think Schumer is a pretty bad leader but sadly this is probably true inasmuch as the caucus features a depressingly high number of feckless centrists. Getting someone in there who doesn't openly state that protecting Israel is a key feature of their politics would be cool though.

The thing about Dems trying to convince us that Schumer wasn't behind the pretty obviously coordinated cave is that if it's true, he's arguably even WORSE at his job than we already thought. So hey maybe it is true

What a fucking phony Pritzker is. And after weeks of dodging the question this is the best response he has? Pathetic.
“This is my ward! This is my ward!” Rodriguez (22nd) chirps back as Sigcho-Lopez (25th) grills Gov., saying, “the State Police are arresting protesters.”
“They’re protecting our protesters,” Gov. JB Pritzker responds.

you're saying a lot of young right-wing freaks are adopting religious identity as an aesthetic and an ideological buttress but aren't really following the theological principles of the institution they're notionally affiliating with? wow. i didn’t know that. you’re telling me now for the first time

Saw a clip of Chris Cuomo calling Zohran petty for referencing Mario Cuomo in his speech and it’s pretty interesting about where we are as a country that they had super pacs linking Zohran to 9/11 but still feel totally free to call someone else classless.
