This just in: Trump launches global assault on complete and transparent release of Epstein Files
January 3, 2026 at 5:02 PM
I don't know why people aren't turning the Epstein files into targeted ads for independents and MAGA. Would be a great Xmas gift.

Trump hates to be the object of humor. He understands that humor can be a more powerful antidote to tyranny than any other form of criticism.

I'm sure he'd hate it if you shared this cartoon. [Cartoon by Jon Adams/The New Yorker]

So the long game on the budget deficit is to reduce social safety net spending by accelerating the speed at which at-risk people die? That's kind of a bad strategy.

Republicans are trying to redraw congressional district lines to keep their grip on Congress in the midterms and beyond. 

Voters should pick their politicians, not the other way around.

There is no strict Constitutional prohibition against sending four-year-old cancer victims with American citizenship to die in Honduras. So it's hard to see what liberals are so upset about.

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F.

18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it.

We made this website to tell our story:

#CouplonMusk paid about $250m to help Trump win the White House.

He is getting access to the personal information of 334.9m Americans. And allegedly storing it on private servers.

That is less than $1 per person. To sell America out.
