Prince Andrew to Jeffrey Epstein in 2011 email:

“I’m just as concerned for you! Don’t worry about me! It would seem we are in this together and will have to rise above it. Otherwise keep in close touch and we’ll play some more soon!!!”

Release the Epstein files.

Your occasional reminder that I've raised nearly 5x as much *directly* for Democrats so far this year than I had at the same point in 2021, and nearly 3x as much as I had at the same point in 2023 (and that was a POTUS cycle).

Exactly. Religion is a useful crutch.

@washingtonpost.com , I’d say “Do better!” but you’ve lost all the intellectual power you once had, so…moot.

CBS reporter Edward R. Murrow embodied what a journalist should be: someone who holds power to account instead of capitulating to it.

Over 70 years later, his segment denouncing Joe McCarthy’s congressional witch hunts rings truer than ever.

My “don’t worry about China, it will all be fine” shirt has people asking a lot of questions that are already answered by my shirt
A tweet from Donald Trump that reads “Don’t worry about China, it will all be fine! Highly respected President Xi just had a bad moment. He doesn’t want Depression for his country, and neither do I. The U.S.A. wants to help China, not hurt it!!! President DJT”

In a huge coincidence, a Bitcoin billionaire just-so-happened to put up massive leveraged bets against Bitcoin and Ethereum right before Trump posted about new tariffs on China, prompting a market crash.

$200m in profits instantly. $200m we know about, because they likely used many accounts.

Meta's new AI bias guru, Robby Starbuck, peddles baseless tripe on shooters as leftist terrorists, vaccine autism myths, and trans-mice atrocities, all while "advising" on fairness. Hypocritical corporate kowtowing. #Disinformation

100% agree. Also, when anyone criticizes the "antifa" bogeyman, I'd ask them, "What does 'antifa' mean?" If they do say "anti-fascist," I'm guessing they'll then bloviate about how antifa isn't really antifascist, but I'd love to hear them say that they're against anti-fascists out loud.

I prefer “anti-fascist“ for a host of reasons and this is a nice practical one.

I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.

What Christo-Nationalists are really fighting against is the glaringly obvious evolution of humankind toward a secular world of self-governance.

They’re terrified of examining their own addiction to religion as a crutch that has answers for everything in a world of spectrums and gray areas.

a key thing about vought — and all of these guys — is that they have a totally top down and hierarchical vision of the world. they believe that the cultural changes they hate can be turned off by destroying the federal government because they can’t imagine that they emerged bottom-up in society

What he’s railing against is a profound shift in culture, status… He’s obsessed with the idea that America is controlled by a leftist “ruling elite” - but “elite” isn’t defined socio-economically or by political power, it means something like: Getting to define “real America” and who gets to belong.
