Let me tell you about the other Epstein files the Trump administration is STILL HIDING — records that aren’t affected by the bill Congress passed today.

And the thing is, Zionism is the belief in the right of the Jewish people to democratic self-determination in their ancestral homeland.
The greatest con antisemites ever pulled was convincing so many people that if they have any criticism of the Israeli government, they're anti-Zionist.
The greatest con antisemites ever pulled was convincing so many people that if they have any criticism of the Israeli government, they're anti-Zionist.
It's not even that it's too hard, it's that antizionism is actually an extremely powerful and popular presence within leftist and cultural spaces (despite their claims of being an abominably persecuted ideology) and they don't want to risk their social standing within the movement by challenging it.
Certain Leftists have decided that it's too hard to figure out what is actually antisemitic anymore.

It is astonishing to me that Mike Johnson said "the Senate is going to make changes to this" and John Thune said "no we're not" just like an hour later. Not a few days later after there'd been behind the scenes discussions. An hour later. Genuinely breathtaking display of a party in ruin.

We love to see it.
Hours after Speaker Mike Johnson confidently declared that Senate Republicans would "fix" Thomas Massie's bill requiring release of the Epstein files, the Senate just passed the bill as is by unanimous consent without any changes. A massive, embarrassing debacle for Johnson.

The thing about this is that it's a very sneaky sleight of hand. It seeks to paint you as the one with pipe dream magical thinking ("oh so you just want to win every election forever, great plan dumbass"), when in reality it reveals their own ("we should have a magic fix rendering elections moot!").
I fucking hate the way social media has embraced the “win every election forever can’t be the answer” straw man. Yes, we need structural change. Yes, it’s hard. Yes, it will continue to be hard and require work. Every time I see this it feels like people lusting for an easy forever answer.

Whoa: A federal court just barred Texas from using its new congressional map, drawn by the GOP to target Dems.

It's a good thing Republicans are fundamentally incapable of understanding their own strengths because one of them is the American people having a memory span of lobotomized goldfish. And they're trying to make sure they delay the release of the Epstein files to as close to the midterms as possible.

Why do journalists have no apparent solidarity whatsoever? This rancid POS jabs his finger in a woman reporter's face and calls her "piggy" and none of the other journalists there says a word?
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.'

Trump snapping at a woman reporter and telling her "quiet, piggy" is also something that would have been covered way more in his first term, but is now basically covered up by most outlets.
I know it likely does not need to be said, but with Trump's "quiet piggy!" moment its a good time to remind everyone that one common sign of dementia is people becoming crasser, ruder, and generally losing inhibitions about proper behavior.
