In 2019, Trump claimed he hadn’t spoken to Jeffrey Epstein in “15 years.”
In 2017, Jeffrey Epstein was telling friends he was spending Thanksgiving with Trump — then in his first year as President.

Looks like JD Vance is going to need to change religions again.
BREAKING: At Pope Leo XIV’s urging, U.S. Catholic bishops just delivered the strongest rebuke of a sitting president in Church history — condemning Trump-Vance raids as “inhumane” and “dehumanizing” in a 216–5 vote.
NEW: At Pope Leo’s Urging, Bishops Issue Historic Rebuke of Trump’s Raids
Nearly all U.S. Catholic bishops united in Baltimore to denounce the Trump administration’s “inhumane” deportation campaign — a near-unanimous, unprecedented moral stand against a sitting president.

It's another layer of national degradation and moral decline to see the political media treat child rape like just another horserace issue.

Predictable but still amazing to watch people who spent literally years accusing every librarian, teacher, and trans person they could find of sexually grooming children suddenly throw themselves in with "actually it's ephebophilia"
Megyn Kelly: "I know somebody very close to this case…Jeffrey Epstein, in this person's view, was not a pedophile…He was into the barely legal type, like he liked 15 year old girls…He wasn't into like 8 year olds…There's a difference between a 15 year old and a 5 year old."

Trump spent hours and hours alone with a female child inside a sex trafficker's home who trafficked little girls for sex. Let it bake in your mind. It's a fact that was emailed by the sex trafficker "Epstein" 5 years before Trump became President the first time. 5 years, so this isn't politics folks

When my hometown of Sumter, SC is mentioned, I need to set the record straight.
1. That plant was initiated under Biden, not Trump.
2. It's tied to EVs, which Trump calls a hoax.
3. Trump's "big, beautiful bill" will kill thousands of EV jobs.
Facts matter.

🧵Trump's masked thugs shot a 24-year-old US citizen last Thurs in Ontario, Calif.
He had just left his home and saw a bunch of ICE agents surrounding a car.
He stopped and simply told them, "Hey, there's a bunch of kids about to be across the street because they're going to school."

Update from me: I’m one of the 1,500 fired CFPB civil servants.
This article’s a good summary of all the RIFs that occurred yesterday, and all the functions to protect consumers that will be crippled, or stop entirely.

There's a hearing in two hours on the CFPB purge. Here's the latest on how the agency can't possibly carry out its duties with 1,500 workers fired, including basic things that mortgage markets rely on for actually functioning.

Me too! Bluesky has an amazing female CEO. She gave the SXSW keynote and trolled Zuckerberg with a T-shirt.
He had worn a shirt that read "Aut Zuck aut nihil" ("Either Zuck or nothing"), a riff on "Aut Caesar aut nihil."
Her shirt read "Mundus sine caesaribus," Latin for "a world without Caesars."
