Billions for Argentina’s Wall Street investors.

Higher costs for American families.

Subject: Pedophilia

Hello my good friend Donald Trump. I am a pedophile, and I know you are also. We are friends and pedophiles, together.

Best,
Jeffrey Epstein, famous pedophile.

Chris Murphy: "There will be pretty substantial damage to a Dem brand that has been rehabilitated if on the heels of an election in which the people told us to keep fighting, we immediately stop... if we surrender without having gotten anything, I worry it'll be hard to get them back up off the mat"

"...ACCORDING TO THE POLLSTERS THAT LIVE IN THE BACK OF MY HEAD WITH THE PICTURE OF THE CLOCK I DREW."
Mr. "I Don't Take Responsibility At All" thinks the MASSIVE BLUE WAVE was because he wasn't on the ballot, not
a Major Referendum on his 2nd Term.

Turns out folks prefer feeding the hungry over building expen$ive, tacky Ballrooms.

Looking forward to the midterms... 🌊

Gotta love how the biggest victory yesterday was Zohran Mamdani, a socialist who ran ads about how trans people built NYC, and somehow this morning the news is like:
"Yesterday proves Dems should be more moderate and not focus on LGTBQ issues"

Head in hands wondering how this could happen to me, the popular president who posted a video of myself shitting on everyone 2 weeks ago

Inconceivable!
On the other site, an 18-year-old Zohran canvasser described the legendary Wallace Shawn as "the actor who plays Dr. Sturgis on Young Sheldon" which is honestly adorable

Maybe it was way more than seven million? "8% of Americans say they participated in a No Kings protest on October 18."

p.s. Older people are really showing up.

I wish it were over. But it continues ad nauseam.
Just when I think Pete Hegseth is the worst person in the Trump administration, Kristi Noem says something, and I change my mind, then Pam Bondi says something, then JD Vance says something, then Stephen Miller says something, but then Donald Trump says something. Contest over.

Alt-text: photo of a mini sidewalk library that is typically filled with books, now filled with food, staples, canned goods, and yes, one can of spam.
Ahead of the 1st shutdown of US food aid to hungry Americans in 60 years, some of the 200,000 Little Free Library locations are converting into food pantries. Thanks @littlefreelibrary.bsky.social

This is several days old. But amidst so much else id missed it. That’s a stunning number. No wonder they about-faced. Reminder of the power of consumers in oligarch era, not subject to the same kind of targeting.

He thinks our outrage over him demolishing the historic beloved East Wing without any approval or oversight is primarily a concern about cost.

He thinks reassuring us that it’s all being paid for by oligarchs (getting something in return) will soothe us.

He’s *that* emotionally impotent.

One annoying thing about the east wing business is they’re nesting. He’s not planning on going anywhere.

Someone's preparing for war...
1. ICE has sharply increased its spending on weapons in 2025, according to an analysis of federal gov't data by Popular Information.

Records reveal ICE has increased spending on “small arms" — a category that includes guns, armor, chemical weapons, and explosives — by 700% compared to 2024 levels
