Translation: The Epstein files exposes what a sleeze Trump is and Republicans don't give a CRAP the donors listed in the Epstein files are still raping kids.
Barrasso won't commit to holding a Senate vote on an Epstein files measure and says, "this is not about truth, this is about an attempt by the Democrats to make President Trump a lame duck president and I'm not gonna aid and abet them in their effort to do that."

John Oliver calls out MAGA, especially Megyn Kelly, for shielding Trump from the Epstein scandal: "When even the guy running the Pervert Express to Crime Island thinks you're a dick."

This holiday season, we’re forking over the facts: Despite being pushed as a response to school shootings, there is zero evidence that putting guns in classrooms protects students. What it does introduce are serious risks for children, educators, and entire school communities. 🧵

It is interesting to me how the media seems far less interested in Trump's Murder Memo than you'd expect. Only a few reporters seem to be even trying to get a hold of it, and very few commentators are talking about it. Contrast that with Bush's torture memo, which was a national obsession. Weird.
Trump's illegal murders in the Caribbean just got worse. An internal DOJ memo on the bombings says the victims are waging war on the US, but per NYT, it extensively cites the WH's *own claims* to this effect as evidence!

Rep @rokhanna.bsky.social is spot on. We all see it, even if some won’t say it.
Schumer needs to take the same advice he gave Biden— step aside. He can stay in the Senate, but he’s not the leader for this moment or the future.
What we need now is someone willing to challenge him for the top spot.

I’d like to add that Donald Trump is holding office unconstitutionally.
The plain text of the 14th amendment forbids him from holding any federal office.

Donald Trump is a convicted criminal.
The Trump administration is a criminal organization.
This is a transparently corrupt, impeachable offense.
When Trump is removed from office his actions and entire executive legacy must be expunged from the government.

Count the ways they’re corrupting DOJ: Presidents don’t direct AG’s to open criminal cases, especially ones designating only Dems for investigation when POTUS himself is involved. DOJ doesn’t publicize criminal investigations & the AG definitely doesn’t assign them on Twitter.
