After Jesse Watters of Fox complained about my story on Trump’s ridiculous reflecting pool project, I decided to do a fuller report on many of the ways Trump is ruining DC. CRY MORE @JesseBWatters ! 😂 cc @WashProbs
And just like that, it’s completely VANISHED from the media.
A sitting congressman, Ted Lieu, said on the record the Epstein files are being blocked because they show Trump raped and threatened to kill children.
Let’s keep this in the spotlight every day
🚨 #BREAKINGNEWS Its appears Speaker Mike Johnson caught on hot mic that The Save Act would result in 12% to 18% voter turnout. Saying that would be huge for the Republican Party. The Save Act is a voter suppression bill. Not elections security.🚨
More than 150 US soldiers have been injured, 5,000 more heading into Iran now. Trump is a coward, criminal, five-time draft dodging piece of shit sending your kids to war.
Good mourning. Operation Epstein Fury continues apace. At least 150 US soldiers have been killed or injured that we know of. Massive numbers of Iranian civilians, including children, have been murdered. All to distract from the fact that Donald trump is a child-raping pedophile.
Coby White on his former coach Roy Williams being in attendance:
“He called me last night, told me he was coming through… obviously a legendary coach but I’ve been gone 6-7 years, for him to still reach out, our relationship is bigger than basketball. He’s helped me through a lot of tough times in my life and he continues to help me.”

BREAKING: @RoKhanna just said there is a new precedent set which means Donald Trump has to testify before Congress about the Epstein files.
"A new precedent has been set in America today. Before this, we had the ‘Trump rule.’ Trump defied, as all of you know, a congressional subpoena with the January 6 committee. He said presidents don’t have to testify. Now we have the ‘Clinton rule,’ which is Presidents and their family have to testify when Congress issues a subpoena. And that means that Donald Trump needs to come before our committee and explain what he knew about Epstein and explain why we have not had a full release of the documents."
Michelle and I were deeply saddened to hear about the passing of a true giant, the Reverend Jesse Jackson. We will always be grateful for Jesse's lifetime of service, and the friendship our families share. We stood on his shoulders. We send our deepest condolences to the Jackson family and everyone in Chicago and beyond who knew and loved him.
George Conway on Donald Trump: “If this guy isn’t impeached and removed, what’s the point to the whole Constitution? You can’t have a fucking criminal running the government for his own benefit screwing the people. And that’s what we have”
“The DHS Secretary, with no previous immigration or law enforcement experience, flies around the country in a luxury 737 MAX with a private cabin in back for her and her married boyfriend Corey Lewandowski (and shadow DHS Secretary), despite being married herself since 1992.
Lewandowski is a bad drunk and serial philanderer (practically a prerequisite for men in Trump’s orbit); an infamous lothario with anger issues towards women. But someone has to be there to fire the pilots that forget Kristi’s comfort blanket when they switch planes on their taxpayer-funded rides. Corey even went so far as to pressure DHS officials into giving him a badge - and tried and failed to obtain a federally issued firearm. The former campaign manager was not appointed to this cabinet and has no official position within the U.S. government - his ‘SGE’ (Special Government Status’) was issued as a restrictive 130 day work permit - yet he remains in his unofficial capacity year-round and takes it upon himself to fire DHS employees.” https://t.co/BKVl8VCPAP
“The survivors of Trump and Epstein’s sex-trafficking ring and ICE surges have more character and courage than any of the bold-faced names that looked the other way and went along for the ride.
The same self-serving defects that allow one’s instincts and ego to run amok, that were present in his moneyed NYC and Palm Beach circles, are very much at the forefront today in the policies and moral pollution of the Trump administration.
That fact that DJT is still quite early into his second term and looking to upend this nation’s election laws in favor of a federalized autocracy, highlights both the danger we are in and how much we have already surrendered to his malignant narcissism and endless pilfering of our republic.
Donald Trump’s assault on our democracy has been unrelenting.
It is quite hard to watch a country unravel and not reflect upon the life you have led in it up until this point, especially for those of us that have moved beyond the half-century mark in our own lives.
What we are witnessing now feels almost unthinkable in this country - even twenty years ago - when science was taken as fact, vaccines were part of routine healthcare practices and climate change was a recognized threat that we would enlist and encourage our best efforts as humankind to address and at least attempt to mitigate.” https://t.co/BKVl8VDnqn
I’m on my apartment balcony to illustrate how Donald Trump’s corruption and contempt for the rule both threatens our democracy *and* affects our everyday lives.
Behind me is the Gateway project, a $16 billion effort to build a new rail tunnel across the Hudson. It's the most important infrastructure project in the country, vital to the economy of New York and the rest of the northeastern U.S..
The work will stop today—with thousands of jobs lost—because Donald Trump *illegally* cut off the funding.
Why? Because he wants *Penn Station* (and Dulles Airport) to be named after *him*.
So the fight against Trumpism is both about democracy and our economic well-being. It’s *one* fight.
It’s either Trump or us. We can’t go on with him another three years.
And that’s why I’m running for Congress.

I'm so torn right now.
Despite its problems, I still love America, my country of birth, the only country I have ever lived in.
I'm torn because of the glee I feel as our Vice President, JD Vance, is drenched in thunderous boos at the Olympics. I really can't stand that lying sack of shit, but he's there sadly representing our country.
JD Vance represents the absolute worst that America has to offer, he is an embarrassment.
BTW -- that's why trump isn't going to the Super Bowl, he would be booed into oblivion.
I remember, as a kid, learning the "Pledge of Allegiance" and "My Country Tis of Thee," and learning the words to the "Star Spangled Banner" and "God Bless America." I still have national pride.
Just because I'm liberal, it doesn't make me any less patriotic. There's some kind of idiotic myth, pushed by morons on the right, that if you criticize America or you criticize the President, that means you hate America.
These hypocrites have the audacity to say that, after spending 8 years criticizing President Obama, and another 4 years criticizing President Biden.
I despise the way Vance has chosen to represent America, behind a wall of lies and hypocrisy used to justify the hateful actions taken against fellow Americans and anyone who looks like they might have been born in another country.
If you are a patriot, you love our Constitution. If you're a patriotic elected official, you've sworn an OATH to defend the Constitution and all its amendments, even those that are inconveniently impeding your quest to remove as many Brown people as possible.
And if you are a patriot, it is your DUTY to speak up when you see things aren't right, when you see people making us look bad, when you see others being hurt, oppressed, or treated with cruelty.
When you love something or someone, you correct them when they're wrong, because you expect THE BEST from them.
THAT is what it means to be American.
So yeah, BOOOO to that lying hypocrite JD Vance, and his "Haitians are eating cats and dogs" and his smug, mascara eyes looking in the camera, and his refusal to apologize for lying about Alex Pretti and Renee Good.
ALSO, hooray to our AMAZING American athletes, I will be rooting for you at the Olympics, hooray for all those people who told Vance to suck it.
And hooray for America, which I still love but excuse our appearance while we are under shitty new management.🇺🇸
Just. Fucking. Insane.
When his disaster comes - because crazy people like Trump cause disasters - the current GOP and every Trump supporter will own it, and will have to atone, forever
Roger Goodell’s Super Bowl press conference is today. Curious how he addresses Giants co-owner Steve Tisch being in the Epstein Files, the criticisms over having Bad Bunny as the halftime performer, ICE reportedly conducting immigration operations at the game and not a single Black head coach being hired among the 10 head coaching openings.
VENTURA: "I blame the United States people for this too. They're getting what they deserve because the last election was simple. You had the choice of the Constitution or the criminal. And for some reason they took the criminal."
If Congress doesn’t act, the last nuclear arms control treaty between the U.S. and Russia will expire. It would pointlessly wipe out decades of diplomacy, and could spark another arms race that makes the world less safe. This piece is worth the read. https://t.co/NPtKyjYRml
“There is nothing being revealed in the Epstein files that wasn’t known to a good many people in New York City, Palm Beach and beyond.
They looked away so they could line their own pockets. How else does a society allow predators to ascend so freely? It is no accident that most of the men mentioned in the Epstein files were billionaires, which in and of itself is a form of financial predation.
Accumulating and hoarding that much wealth is an act of aggression in a world in which so many go hungry and unhoused.
If your wealth forces others into suffering, or harms and exploits the planet and its finite resources, your riches are a temporal and empty treasure.
In the U.S.A. we have turned a blind eye to greed for too long and now we are paying the price. What the Epstein flies show us, beyond the wanton criminality of the sex-trafficker and his clients, the ghastly exploitation of women and girls who were preyed upon and trafficked by men who think themselves above the law, is just how empty and depraved the lives of the men in Trump and Epstein’s circle were.
Musk was a billionaire on vacation with his kids in the Caribbean - and he was emailing Epstein on Christmas Day begging to come over to Jeffrey’s private island and ‘party’ with him. We didn’t need further evidence of Elon’s awfulness but it somehow still sticks out. Jeffrey of course offers to send a helicopter to come pick him up.
Everything is a transaction in their world - and people are merely playthings for their pleasure.” https://t.co/YVbeFbxvj9
