I'm not so easily shocked these days, but it might actually be shocking that the vice president of the United States is as violently, smugly, publicly racist as he is.

Congrats again to everyone for pretending the far right authoritarian party’s assault on higher education was really about fighting antisemitism
JD Vance: "Wouldn't you rather lead a movement of freethinkers who sometimes disagree than a bunch of drones who take their orders from George Soros?"

Your promise to prosecute rich & powerful men who were at Epstein's rape island would be more credible if you stop breaking Rep. Thomas Massie & my law.
Release the draft 60 count indictment, 82 page prosecution memo and the FBI files.

Al Qaeda’s high point came with a cult of personality around Osama bin Laden. His successor, Ayman al Zawahiri, was once described as “a black hole of charisma,” and couldn’t replicate bin Laden’s (relative) success.
Not a perfect analogy, but I’ve been thinking about it a bunch lately.

Trump is no longer making any pretense of sanctioning firms supplying the Russian military. He is shifting the US position steadily to a pro-Russian position, including support for Russian military operations in Ukraine.

This tells you that Vance thinks the MAGA base isn’t just full of diehard racists; he thinks it’s full of diehard racists who are also too cowardly to be openly racist if they think people might disapprove

“And, of course, there is no bigger victim here than the man I represented as a defense attorney and still mistakenly represent as Deputy Attorney General — Donald J. Trump.”
WELKER: Why didn't the DOJ meet the Friday deadline to release all the Epstein files?
BLANCHE: It's very simple and very clear. The statute also requires us to protect victims.

🚨 The DOJ appears to have redacted Donald Trump’s name from the allegations made in this exhibit in the Epstein files.
Trump’s name was in the original release. Now, it’s blacked out.

Yesterday we were all waiting in the Epstein line. Today, the entire country has turned into investigators, tracking which files are disappearing. Sixteen gone so far. There’s been a remarkable amount of teamwork, with people working together to identify the missing documents.

As far as I am concerned, every person involved in redacting the Epstein files is complicit in the crimes Epstein and his cohort committed. Every FBI agent who redacted it, every appointed and elected official who had any say in how it was redacted. Right up to Trump himself. Jail the lot.
