Quick point of clarification for pundits, politicians, journalists, & any others commenting on the Epstein Trump files:
The victims were NOT "young women". They were CHILDREN.
As such, they were not capable of giving legal consent. Sex without consent is rape.
Words matter. Get them right.

The fact that Trump and his lackeys are using the Situation Room to figure out how not to release the Epstein files should be THE headline in tomorrow's NYT.

The shutdown bill includes a provision to provide $500k to the house and senators whose phone records were acquired by Jack Smith.
Reminder that they claimed they found out this year. We knew he got the records years ago.
I am willing to miss additional paychecks in order to remove this provision

While I was at The Post, a group of us (hi @crampell.bsky.social!) made a tool that used third party grocery price data to track food inflation. It’s up, except for the eggs.

UPDATE: Now that 8 Senate Dems folded to Trump—Republicans demand tougher abortion restrictions to extend Obamacare funds.
What? Moving goal posts? Lucy and the football? Who Could Have Seen This Coming??
This is why you don't back down from a bully! My God! My kingdom for a spine for Democrats.

Solar’s price drop is astonishing: panels are now 98% cheaper than when I first analyzed them in 2004.
Today, building a fence with solar can be cheaper than using wood.

The coordinated nature of this—none are facing voters in 2026—means that either Schumer approved it or failed in his job as Senate Majority Leader to stop it.
Dems voting "no" get zero credit until they demand a change in leadership. Schumer out as Leader, Durbin out as Whip.

so currently defectors are:

This! They literally voted for millions of people to suffer. They are all cruel and weak.
Even if ACA credits do pass, which they won’t, It won’t help in January when open enrollment is already over. Those who can’t afford the currently INSANE premiums will be going without for the entire year, even if this did pass, which of course, it won’t with GOP control. SO ANGRY.🤬

I'm single. No kids, no claims, no pre-existing conditions. The cataclysmic leap from paying $50 a month to $1,228.28 a month is a level of devastation the depth of which I'm struggling to articulate. I wasn't going to be able to afford when I thought it was going up to $350 a month. And now...😵
I thought my new health insurance premium was going to be $350 per month until I got this letter informing me that it would be $1,228.28 PER MONTH. I CURRENTLY PAY $50. Is my math mathing? Is that.... a 2,356.42% increase?
2256.42%????
TWO THOUSAND TWO HUNDRED FIFTY SIX POINT FORTY TWO PERCENT😩

Zero UPS MD-11Fs airborne right now. Last week had several inbound to SDF around this time. 🤔
The typical outflow from SDF did seem to happen a few hours ago.

Democrats didn’t cave. They boxed republicans in and made them own the shutdown. Watch.

This is some important context folks:
KBJ threaded the needle thanks to CA1’s unfinished business.
-if she denied the admin stay, the full SCOTUS woulda stepped in to override her.
-if she immediately referred the case to the full Court, they coulda dragged feet.
-instead she boxed them in to act quickly once she does refer the case.

This is the facility that I and many others have been protesting. We’ve been hit, thrown, gassed, and shot with pepper bullets but none of that holds a candle to what is being done to people *in* the actual facility.
Read this thread. Don’t look away. Keep your eyes and the pressure on Broadview.

A family friend was telling us about what her husband shared about his experience in Broadview before he was deported back to Mexico. She's been sharing to friends and family because she's just in disbelief & horror what her husband told her. She wasn't able to talk to him until he was in Mexico.
