Again we already know (and voters didn't see this as disqualifying) that Trump is a predator and a criminal. So the cover up is probably worse than the crime, but the Trump Regime seems determined to keep their base hopped up on conspiracies all winter. 🤔
WOW: The DOJ has DELETED an image from its release of the Epstein files that shows photos of Trump in a drawer.
Yesterday, we noted that this image — file 468 — likely slipped through the cracks while officials were attempting to hide materials pertaining to Trump.
Now, it’s gone.

Prediction markets barely make money; sportsbooks make money
Kalshi’s ‘truth machine’ is financialising differences of opinion (about sports)

Gaming out who we Eagles fans should root in tonight's Rams-Seahawks game:
- We'll probably be the #3 seed, so we'll host the #6 seed in the wild-card round. We might face the 2rd or 3rd place NFC West team.

Ladies and gentlemen, I've just been informed that the 45th and 47th President of the United States—as there's a drive into deep left field by Castellanos, it will be a home run, and so that'll make it a 4–0 ballgame...

Today, I spoke with Kilmar Abrego Garcia and his wife, Jennifer. In April, when I met with him in El Salvador, Trump said he would never set foot in the U.S. again.
This case has never been about one man alone; if the govt can violate the constitutional rights of one, all our rights are threatened.

The way you're taught that VC works is they fund 100 risky ventures and 99 of them fail. They lose money on those, in the hopes that the 1 that succeeds goes really big.
The reality is that VC looks a lot more like Ponzinomics. These guys make absolute BANK on failed moonshots.

Something every 2026/28 Dem should commit to is investigations of any company that did deals with Trump. A kind of forward guidance to get companies to think twice in advance of what’s coming.
Fox News will applaud this but can you imagine their coverage if President Biden hatched a secret plan to take over Fox News and revamp its programming to be nicer to him
New WSJ reporting: "During a December visit to Washington, David Ellison offered assurances to Trump administration officials that if he bought Warner, he'd make sweeping changes to CNN, a common target of President Trump's ire, people familiar with the matter said..."

Yeah - lived through the Troubles in Northern Ireland. It's not just the violence and death - it impact *every* aspect of society and leaves deep intergenerational trauma behind.

It's the same type of spiral of violence that we had in Northern Ireland. Completely different context and not an exact parallel, but the same basic dynamics are in play. Violence leads to violence in response which leads to more violence... 1

Look at those hiring numbers under Biden-Harris vs. the numbers now under Trump-Vance.

The President is actively dying right next to his team of simps yelling about what a Big Strong Leader Man he is. Just sitting there, eyes closed, croaking in front of our eyes.
Trump dozes while Marco Rubio speaks to him directly next to him. Just insane optics.

this was bad before, but these are the most troubling and serious allegations you can make about a journalist. if they’re true, i genuinely can’t think of a worse scandal in the history of political journalism. devastating to our industry, to public trust as a whole, and to everyone in its orbit
