So… I didn’t schedule for end times very well. I’m in the middle of a home renovation.

When my Dad died 10yrs ago, I sold my house and moved in to help Mom.

During 1st year of COVID, Mom had a stroke which stole her ability to walk in any sort of dependable way.

DOJ broke the law today by refusing to produce all the Epstein files. It also broke the law by redacting information other than to protect victims. Yet, the corporate media is acting that DOJ did us a huge favor.

Now, more than ever, help build independent, pro-democracy media. hubs.ly/Q03CbHTt0

Tapper: This is one of the documents the DOJ released. It’s 100 pages. It’s all black. That’s the transparency we’re getting.

The Trump Administration is NOT releasing all the Epstein files as required by law.

Trump toady Todd Blanche tried to spin the illegal move by stating that they would be releasing "hundreds of thousands of pages" without mentioning how much more evidence, including videos, are withholding.

As new Epstein files are released, keep in mind that in his first term, Trump ate, flushed, and stole documents, and his Chief of Staff burned them in the White House fireplace.

So the "most transparent president in history" won't let Jack Smith's testimony become public. He's got them holding back tens of thousands of Epstein documents, haven't seen his taxes, his school records, and no one knows why the East Wing was destroyed before he even had ballroom plans. Yeah.

i was especially struck by these paragraphs, which rang very true to me. libs who grew up around conservatives aren't embarrassed to be liberals--or confused about what conservatives want. there's a certain kind of elite media man, on the other hand--

Poor Doggett. What did he ever do to deserve Kash Patel.
They should revive The X-Files again but have it only be about Doggett working a desk job in the FBI.

David Brooks, who wrote in the NYT last month, "The Epstein Story? Count Me Out" is... in the latest Epstein photo dump published by @oversightdemocrats.house.gov.

He should absolutely be fired by NYT for this. Major conflict of interest that he didn't disclose.

On Monday, ICE agents violently restrained a woman in Minneapolis, dragging her in the snow and pinning her face down as onlookers shouted the woman was pregnant.

In response, one agent fired a taser into the crowd. “Who wants more?” he taunted, according to a WCCO reporter. trib.al/vdWc3qj

I was an adult before I realized that in Greece and Rome a ‘sacrifice’ was more often than not a BBQ. They sacrificed a pig or cow or other tasty livestock … then cooked and served it.
In Rome, the annual celebrations of #Saturnalia began with a sacrifice at the Temple of Saturn. A lectisternium (meal offered to gods) was held by placing the statue of Saturn on a sumptuous couch as if the god was participating in the festivities.

Since the end of the Cold War, democrats have created 50M jobs and republicans have created 1M.
The Republican propaganda that Trump “inherited” a bad economy from Biden and is making it better is the exact opposite of true. The numbers don’t lie and people know what they are experiencing.

I keep saying this but no one is connecting the dots. The war is to satisfy legal preconditions for mass removal *domestically* of Latinos (i.e., suddenly a lot of people are going to be “Venezuelan” for purposes of removal). This is 100% Stephen Miller…oil claim is to make grandpa go along
There is no national security logic that would impel the US to want to do regime change in Venezuela. It's simply not that important. I'm not even sure wag the dog is the right metaphor for what's happening here. Seems like an insane misallocation of US national security assets and attention.
Trump: "Venezuela is completely surrounded by the largest Armada ever assembled ... It will only get bigger, and the shock to them will be like nothing they have ever seen before — Until such time as they return to the USA all of the Oil, Land, and other Assets that they previously stole from us."

Every House Democrat signed a discharge petition to force a vote to extend the subsidies.

Every single one, whether you want to be their bff or think they’re Satan because you can’t do math. 0 Republicans did, inc all the ones giving angry quotes.

Republicans control the majority. Vote them out.
The Affordable Care Act tax credits expire this month.

Tens of millions of Americans could lose their health insurance.

House Republicans have created this healthcare crisis because they don’t give a damn about you.

We say goodbye to actor, filmmaker and activist Rob Reiner.

A dedicated storyteller with sincerity that imbued his prolific work and the causes he believed in, Reiner’s heartfelt portrayal of the human condition reminds us of the power of film and its abilities to stay with us.
