A teenager in Florida with a homeless parent wanted money for braces and ended up having sex for money with powerful men, setting off a chain of events that would have a dramatic impact on her life and help upend the political career of Representative Matt Gaetz. nyti.ms/49PSkL9

This is such a transparent and obvious lie that there’s no way he thinks anyone outside of MAGA is gonna believe this

The relentless negativity and performative cruelty of American politics is exhausting.
Following Zohran Mandani’s lead, leftists can distinguish ourselves with a concrete political program paired with genuine enthusiasm for ordinary people.

I think you can mostly divide the New Right into 4 or 5 major factions:
- the post-liberals
- the technocapitalists
- the nietzschean
- the populists
they overlap but are not identical

honestly my estimation of House Democrats has grown a little bit from the fact that they were clearly eager to leak this *entire* trove of emails even though they would damage or ruin the reputations of a bunch of Democratic Party luminaries who are in the emails

sneaking suspicion that one of the reasons, along with all the pedo shit and possible financial crimes, that Trump liked Epstein is that Epstein was dumb enough that Trump consistently felt superior talking to him in a way he very rarely got to feel around his usually similarly educated peers
So I guess between Trump and Epstein, it turns out Trump was the more erudite wordsmith.

BREAKING: At Pope Leo XIV’s urging, U.S. Catholic bishops just delivered the strongest rebuke of a sitting president in Church history — condemning Trump-Vance raids as “inhumane” and “dehumanizing” in a 216–5 vote.
NEW: At Pope Leo’s Urging, Bishops Issue Historic Rebuke of Trump’s Raids
Nearly all U.S. Catholic bishops united in Baltimore to denounce the Trump administration’s “inhumane” deportation campaign — a near-unanimous, unprecedented moral stand against a sitting president.

I highly doubt Schumer and Jeffries have even a cordial relationship. With Pelosi, both houses were on the same page
I have serious questions about how much House and Senate Democrats are even talking to one another at this point.
I have in my hands definitive evidence that my opponent has committed a world-historic evil. Evidence that, were it to be released to the public, would cause his supporters to abandon him and his entire world to crumble to dust. I therefore have no choice but to give in to every one of his demands

Discharge petition timeline: it now takes seven legislative days to "ripen," after which a vote within two legislative days. Most likely early December.
That gets you to Massie's standalone Epstein files bill. It would still have to pass the Senate and either be signed (heh) or a veto overridden.
