A lot of people are going to walk away from the Ghislaine Maxwell coverage with the impression that our prison system isn’t punitive enough but I’d say it highlights how most everyone else is treated with *deliberate* cruelty.

Referencing every “corrupt bureaucrat gets outted to law enforcement and press and unalives himself” movie scene since forever.
In December 2018, Epstein wrote about Trump: “I am the one able to take him down.”
Eight months later, Epstein was found dead in a prison run by the Trump administration.
Weird coincidence.

Exclusive: Based on documents viewed by this newsletter, OpenAI spent over $12.4 billion on inference from 2024 to September 2025. As part of its Microsoft revenue share, it sent $493.8m in 2024/$865.8m Jan-Sep 2025, implying lower revenues than previously reported.

Never forget the same people defending pedophilia have spent years trying to convince the public that drag queens and trans people are a threat to children.

No, of course they aren’t hyper-competent. They’re disgustingly rich and. Ores because their wealth means they have zero responsibilities except for play—which they take very seriously even when they truly believe their wealth will protect them from every consequence ever.
but for real i tried to capture what i felt going through these emails (on here & in the document hellscape). how it feels like a last nail in a coffin of some kind in terms of a rot in the heart of the elite. and proof that the truth is dumber than fiction

Wow, how we’ve fallen.

Really wish we’d had the balls to put Nixon on trial instead of letting him skate by and get impeached/removed.
The attorney general and the FBI director, a manosphere podcaster bro, pulled into the situation room a member of Congress best known for getting kicked out of a Beetlejuice musical for drunkenly giving her date a handy, in order to pressure her about the president's child sex trafficking scandal.

I’d like to go on the record as not needing Trump to “fix” the country. His version of “fix” is going to get a lot of people killed.
In 10 months MAGA went from “He’s the new messiah!” to “Look, we don’t have anyone else.”

Kick their asses to the curb.
New from me in @newrepublic.com: “Primary Every Democrat.”

If the current crop cannot demonstrate they care more about democracy than enjoying three-day weekends, we should flood the zone and challenge them all.
Primary Every Democrat
It’s exhausting to watch poll-tested, donor-beholden congressional Democrats continue to be too old, too cloistered, and too bumbling to do anything as the government burns.

Fuck all y’all . Vote better. Demand better representation.

Gonna go watch reruns of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and live real life and breathe real air.

Here’s the lowest point on Missouri’s Katy Trail. Remember, it can always get better but only if your Dem rep and senators don’t sell you out.

It doesn’t matter. All of them are willing to sacrifice all of us for an easy retirement. Fuck those bastards. Why have we been voting for them all this time? So we can suddenly be sick and hungry while they have theirs and the GOP grifts the rest of everything from everyone?

Fuck you bastards.
okay, so, with Dems successfully keeping anyone up in 2026 for voting for this turd let's take a look at who's up in 2026 anyway:

1. Cory Booker - apparently involved behind the scenes, constantly looking for bipartisanship. I don't dislike him personally but he doesn't have what we need. Primary.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.

The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.

People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.

And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

I've looked at all the details of this deal to end the shutdown reached by a small group of Senate Democrats. I've talked to a number of friends on the Hill to see if there's anything I'm missing. Sadly, I am not.

This is a shit deal. It's a betrayal. It's cowardice.

Well, I guess we can kiss the Dick Durbin Memorial Highway goodbye since all of his constituents will starve to death or be too sick to vote against it.

Fuck those guys. They never cared past their power.
Cowardly fools. Damned us all for nothing. Didn’t get naught but a cheap song. If they were gonna cave they could’ve just done it at the start and saved folks some pain. But now they did nothing and got nothing and wasted time.

Dems are holding their ass cheeks open for GOP to sodomize with promises.

Oh, look! The people who don’t give a flying fuck about you are voting to keep making your life worst! Yay! The government will still be closed but your life will be worse and Auntie still won’t be here for Thanksgiving because air traffic controllers are badly paid.

Vote better for fucks’ sake.
An agreement to agree to do a later vote is NOT an enforceable contract so what in the actual hell are Americans getting out of this deal??

Dems backed Trump into a corner where he’s advocating for starving Americans and hemorrhaging support. If they vote to let him off the hook in exchange for nothing it’s a cataclysmic failure. I know people are in pain but insulating Republicans from political consequences is not the answer.
