If that's Giuffre's name under the redaction bar, then prove it. Remove the redaction. You've already told us it's Giuffre, so you wouldn't be doing anything illegal. So reveal it. Or can't you? Because it's not her?
CNN: The emails that were released don't raise any Qs for you?
GIMENEZ: Not right now, no
C: The email where Epstein says to Maxwell that Trump spent hours at his house w/someone whose name is redacted who Republicans are saying is Virginia Giuffre?
G: Right. And she said Trump did nothing wrong

Sanders: That is a totally meaningless gesture. You can get 100 votes here and it won't mean anything because the House is not going to take it up.

If the Dems blink after all of this, for a deal that all but ensures no ACA subsidies in 2026 anyway, then what was the purpose of letting the shutdown go for 40 days in the first place?

On what Trump's saying about Walmart's Thanksgiving dinner deal this year:
A) Yes, 2025's IS smaller.
B) If you take the 2025 package, add back the food it's missing from 2024, and take out the items 2024 didn't have, Walmart's 🦃 dinner package in 2025 costs 2.6% MORE than it did in 2024. 🤔

The "Deciding To Win" centrists dismiss base mobilization, but the actual 2024 data shows: the more blue a place was in 2020, the lower its turnout was in 2024.
Swing voters weren't nearly as important as Dem-leaning irregular voters not voting at all. The base wasn't mobilized, so we lost.

Interesting paper! When you ask people about the most important issue "facing the country," they often say immigration. But when you ask them about issues facing them personally, it doesn't crack the top 10.
This indicates that voters are reacting to media narratives, not their own experience.

Every country in the world has figured out that all they have to do is give Trump some amazing sounding false promise to announce so he can take credit for a “win” and they can get whatever they want in return. He craves personal credit and fluffery - substance is irrelevant.

I'd be more willing to pay for not having AI output. Stop forcing it on me.
One thing that stuff like this gives me confidence about: willingness to pay for AI output is going to get awfully close to zero.

Duh. Those of us on the ground last year actually speaking with middle class/working class voters and who heard from these voters every single day the same - “Trump is an asshole, but Democrats are out of touch” - could’ve saved my new political party a lot of time & money producing this “report.”👇

Pretty weird that the Republican Party talks a lot about protecting Christians from unseen forces and how our country is based on Christian values, but when there are hungry people to feed and sick people who need health care, Jesus Christ is suddenly a radical commie.

I keep seeing ads for Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner on 60 Minutes tonight to discuss the "peace deal." Wonder if they'll update it with the news today that the ceasefire has been broken? "We taped this interview before the entire deal fell apart, but here it is anyhow..."

The Trump administration has decided to return the two survivors of the recent US airstrike to their home countries, Colombia and Ecuador, instead of prosecuting them or holding them in detention.
But if they were so dangerous that Trump had to blow up their boat, why are they being released?

It's both depressing and funny Trump still doesn't realize that foreign leaders are treating him like a toddler easily manipulated by flattery. He still wags his tail like a puppy getting his belly rubbed every time.

The FDA approved Enovid (AKA “The Pill”) as a contraceptive on May 9, 1960. JFK became president months later. So, of course, pregnancy rates were much higher than now, as birth control pills became more easily available to women.
