Gonna invent a Time Machine so I can ask young megyn Kelly if she will take the devils bargain of being famous and moderately rich but you have to get sexually assaulted and then publicly advocate for pedophilia and sexual assault of children.

I find this all so odd. Option 1) he’s an incompetent dipshit who can’t run his party option 2) he very clearly organized his members to minimize base hostility while still ending the shutdown.

There are no other possibilities

According to the car wash owner, agents arrested employees before they could obtain their documentation from their work lockers. So many were likely here legally.

Here's hoping this article on Zac boasting about how he ruined some immigrants' lives follows him around for a very long time.

Wild how reporters act about the times like how lawyers act about the Supreme Court.

The institution may have once been worthy of your respect but not these people.
The Times had a corrupt reporter that it benched and then fired, when it found out he was soliciting Epstein for a donation and otherwise behaving inappropriately with a source.

That seems to be it? Unless more comes out there is a lot of hyperventilating on here that is misplaced.

It’s because he supplied them with young girls (and probably boys)

think that’s pretty clear now? Sex slave dealer for the rich and monstrous (which is apparently just two synonyms)

Don’t want to piss off your dealer
Something that’s so striking in these emails is how…unimpressive Epstein is. He comes off as a pompous, sub-literate lech. Yes everyone is so mortifyingly solicitous of him! All fawning and flattery! Why?????

Look our institutions need to investigate all these men
Jeffrey Epstein was developing a series, moderated by @lkrauss1.bsky.social, to bring scientists and celebrities together. The first season would include an episode where "Woody Allen talks about the human condition with Linguist Noam Chomsky."

Well … oh. Shit. Trash paper.
To recap: Jeffrey Epstein offered a NY Times reporter photos taken in Epstein's kitchen of Donald Trump and girls in bikinis *and* implored the NYT reporter to put this information in the public discourse in 2015

What did the NY Times editors know about this offer?

Really needs to be complete investigations of all these men.
Really wild how all these Harvard scientists and mathematics guys constantly talked about how Jeffrey Epstein was this brilliant, "misunderstood" man and then you read his emails and he's clearly a barely literate lecher, extremely easy to understand

The utter imperviousness of the rich to rule of law will kill this country unless we end it
One of the defining feelings in American life, for decades now, is elites doing plainly criminal shit and nothing at all happening as a result. It is deranging in a way that virtually nothing else is. Media fixates on perceived street lawlessness but shit like this matters much more in my opinion.

I think the reason I’m having trouble getting started with this season of peacemaker is the weariness in John cenas eyes seems too real.

Still thinking about this story. Imagine how cooked your brain has to be on Fox News -- how terrified you have to be, every day in your isolated suburban castle -- to start *shooting* when you see brown people at your door, before the door is even open. We're such a nation of terrified cowards.

The shooting victim died from a gunshot wound to the head, the coroner's office said.

My kid has found inspector gadget and gotta say the idea that the govt would make some random doofus a hyper enhanced cyborg seems way more plausible now. Tho that doofus would be less cheeky and fun and more cruel and tragic.

The thing about Mamdani is that he’s a talented politician but not otherworldly or one in a billion, he’s just a competent guy with popular ideas who ran against an entitled piece of shit and to me it’s a lot more optimistic to imagine 1000 campaigns like his than to view him as a unique phenomenon

To any democrat looking for one weird trick to not have all of your voters screaming at you how much we hate your choices look at what Mike here is doing.
Chuck Schumer has not met this moment and Senate Democrats would be wise to move on from his leadership.
November 11, 2025 at 1:32 AM
Dude is absolutely right, there are real dangers which must be fought, which is exactly why we can’t be led by small men who play meaningless games and lie to their constituents and supporters.

Primary all of them.
But there are real dangers out there that must be fought; and energy spent fighting each other is energy lost to that bigger fight.

This is actually also one of the tests on the dementia scale (he failed)
Whoa -- Sen. Durbin went to up Leader Thune during the vote last night to tell him that on the shutdown vote and ACA promise that "8 of us are sticking our neck out that you're going to keep your word. I hope you will. He said 'I assure you I will,'" Durbin says just now

We deserve a Democratic Party that is willing to fight as hard as we are.

We need new leadership in this moment and to get there, we need a chorus of support for change. Tell your Democratic senators to call on Senator Schumer to step aside as Minority Leader. It’s time for drastic action.
