Today is day 25 of the Trump Justice Department refusing to release the full Epstein files, violating the law in the process.
All of the files need to be released immediately so that all of the survivors can get justice and accountability.

If you are anxious and sad about the state of the world, that's fine, and there are plenty of strategies for dealing with that. But I think you already know that drive-by online dooming isn't a strategy. It's selfish and adolescent. It's a contagion that only spreads the worst of you, not the best.

NEW: A federal judge struck down Trump’s $15 billion defamation lawsuit against the New York Times, ruling that his complaint’s contents were “improper and impermissible.”
“A complaint is not a megaphone for public relations or a podium for a passionate oration,” the judge wrote.

Charlie Kirk called me a ‘lunatic’ and a ‘prostitute’ and demanded I be deported.
Nothing, *nothing*, justifies killing him, or robbing his kids of their dad.
We don’t know the identity or motive of the shooter but murder can *never* be the response to political disagreements.

Political violence is a crisis and a sign of democratic weakness. I condemn it in all forms. We all share responsibility to end it, protect democracy, and promote peace in our nation.

RIGHT: Where our government incarcerates a person who has facilitated and/or engaged in the sexual assault of over a thousand children.

Even *if* you accept Stephen Miller’s (textually, historically, and morally indefensible) claim that undocumented immigrants are not entitled to due process, you’d *still* need due process to ensure that the individuals at issue are, in fact, undocumented.
His argument fails even on its own terms.

Pretty sure Trump did not run on a promise of lower living standards
Trump on China: "They made a trillion dollars with Biden selling us stuff. Much of it we don't need. Somebody said, 'oh, the shelves are gonna be open.' Well, maybe the children will have two dolls instead of 30 dolls, and maybe the two dolls will cost a couple of bucks more."

People spend a lot of time wondering why the left is worse at using independent media to control the national narrative.
A useful exercise is to ask why the left is also worse at selling snake oil and pyramid schemes, because I think the reasons are basically exactly the same.
