So the Epstein Files are:
–not complete
–comically redacted
–not in a “searchable” format

The Trump-Vance administration had months to recover from the embarrassing influencer binder photo-op and this is what they came up with.

This is what they think of you

They completely broke the law, redacted stuff they legally aren't allowed to and released not even 1% of the full files. IMPEACH AND REMOVE IMMEDIATELY!
Told you Trump’s criminal regime would do this to the Epstein files.

New at The Watch: A comprehensive primer on the drug boat strikes

104 murders in 107 days
The Trump administration's drug boat campaign has assassinated about one person each day since early September. These are murders, and our basic humanity demands that we not get complacent about them.

For a GOP president—after the Iraq War—to say outright that invading Venezuela is all about oil is wild. But it is. It’s also about corruption, power, graft, and land. And we should take him at his word.

Update: Bari Weiss’s first pitch at CBS — a roundtable with Antony Blinken, Mike Pompeo, and Hillary Clinton that ended up being a virtual interview with Clinton & Condoleezza Rice — has about 150 viewers on YouTube.

Added with the 24/7 CBS stream, it’s just over 1200 viewers.

Right-wing perpetrators committed 93% of political killings since 2000.

Even if we include anti-police terrorist killings by non-leftists, "the left" did just 6%.

Exclude those? Just 5 killings, 1.4%.

The US right is far, far more violent than the US left.

Last night, President Trump bombed another civilian boat in international waters, killing 4 more people and bringing the death toll of his illegal boat strikes to 99.

These murders violate U.S. and international law and must be stopped.

The author of that piece wrote a response to me that was *also* full of factual errors. TFP never issued a correction.

Recently wrote about a PirateWires writer's many factual errors. Also no correction.

The heterodox types who bitch about arrogance in legacy media just never, ever admit mistakes.
again thinking of when The Free Press ran an article alleging that George Floyd was not killed by the cops, and @radleybalko.bsky.social proved beyond any question that the article was bullshit, and instead of retracting it Weiss asked him to come on her podcast
CNN has a show with a similar line. That the problem with this country is we just aren’t talking to each other.

It’s the kind of diagnosis that a toddler would land on.

As a person who has been studying extreme far right ideologies for the last decade (and did a PhD on immigration) I find the entrance of “remigration” into the mainstream American political lexicon so profoundly disturbing

Here's an idea: Rob Reiner's daughters should sue Trump for $20 billion dollars (evidently Trump's favorite number) for slander, defamation, inciting violence, and intentional infliction of emotional distress.

—Trump “has an alcoholic’s personality.”
—Vance has been “a conspiracy theorist for a decade.”
—Musk is “an avowed ketamine [user].”
—Vought is “a right-wing absolute zealot.”
—Bondi “completely whiffed” the Epstein Files.

Speaking ill of the dead is controversial, particularly when it was a violent death. It’s edgy; it’s sensitive; best avoided in most cases, etc.

Baselessly making another person’s murder *about yourself,* and then approving of it, is a different thing. That is delusional, narcissistic, sociopathic.

The president is using this apparent family tragedy, which as far as we know had absolutely nothing to do with him, to convey the message that if his fans brutally murder his critics, they will receive his support and approval.
Q: A number of Republicans have denounced your statement on Rob Reiner. Do you stand by it?

TRUMP: Well, I wasn't a fan of his at all. He was a deranged person as far as Trump is concerned.

Although Trump’s abhorrent political beliefs are ultimately more damaging to the nation, his reprehensible personality is more shocking to me on a personal level.

I can’t fathom how anyone can support someone who is so obviously a terrible human being.
