Illegally invading another country and kidnapping a country’s leader all to cover up the fact that Mar-a-lago was the staging point for child sex trafficking…
The most discouraging part for me is the pervasive scope of his enablers.

The Epstein files are obviously no longer about Trump. The files must be filled with conservative leaders in politics, business, and religion; active and retired; living and dead!

Sorry BlueSky. You’ve become a low-value, left-leaning, echo chamber to me.
I won’t cancel my account. But I’ll certainly be checking in far less often.

Liberalism must be willing to argue—unapologetically—that it provides more good, more justice, and more freedom for society than MAGA’s illiberal alternative. Liberalism must stop apologizing. Stop excusing. And fight. lnk.thebulwark.com/3MmSrEl

He’s gesturing to a sleeping man as he says “He’s the only leader in the world who can help end [the war in Ukraine].”
Trump dozes while Marco Rubio speaks to him directly next to him. Just insane optics.

Just as a place marker here, and in light of what's YET TO COME with Epstein, it should be remembered that Clinton was IMPEACHED FOR LYING ABOUT A BJ WITH A CONSENTING ADULT.

This is super cool, and a real validation of the ecosystem. Forget all the whining about filter bubbles or what not. What's happening here is important, in large part because it allows people to build cool shit, not wait for some billionaire to order a lackey to build what they want at your expense
On Tuesday night, you may have noticed something a little different on Bluesky. Here's a peek behind the scenes of how the election feed came together. Endlessly grateful for this collaboration with @wnyc.org/@gothamist.com & @bsky.app!
