Let me tell you what the upshot is from the now-dropped Georgia January 6 case:

A rich white man can with impunity plot to overthrow our government with 18 co-defendants—in a plot with a death toll—if a Black woman involved in the investigation had inadvisable sex.

*That* is how racist America is.

See the issue is that Trump ran on releasing on the Epstein files, and Bondi said she had them sitting on her desk ready to go, and then Elon Musk tweeted that Trump was in them and they were suddenly deemed a hoax and Ghislaine was moved to a spa prison, so you can understand the fresh intrigue
Mike Johnson: "Suddenly now, they've somehow convinced themselves that the Epstein files will be damaging to President Trump and Republicans in some way that they've imagined, and so they feign outrage."

Wow that’s crazy release the files
Comer: "The evidence we've gathered does not implicate President Trump in any way. Public reporting, survivor testimony, and official documents show that Bill Clinton had far closer ties to Epstein. We're working to bring former President Clinton in for a deposition, but Democrats aren't helping"

Trump’s new ballroom you’re paying for is going to be bigger than the White House itself. Because he believes he is more important than the country.

The symbolism is disgraceful and obvious. Again: Republicans would lose their minds if Obama did this.

BROWN: There's an estimate that millions of Americans could lose their insurance if something isn't done about these premiums

REP. STUTZMAN: I think that's just a Democrat talking point to promote fear

B: No. The source is the Urban Institute. They estimate 4 mil Americans will become uninsured

No Kings Day is almost here.

The Trump regime believes that if it can overwhelm us with atrocities and threats, we'll surrender our rights without fighting for them.

But the people won’t bow down. We will rise. Join us at a peaceful protest on Saturday: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i... #NoKings

From the Nobel Committee today:

“Democracy depends on people who refuse to stay silent, who dare to step forward despite grave risk, and who remind us that freedom must never be taken for granted, but must always be defended – with words, with courage and with determination.”

Trump often lies about Chicago, using a great American city as a punching bag to entertain out-of-town racists who are scared of Black and Latino Chicagoans whom they’ve never met. He’s threatening a military occupation. Here’s a thread about Chicago, Trump and crime. 1/

we see very clearly in public polling that people in california and D.C. hate the deployments and that americans broadly disapprove of them, but here we have an assertion that the smart strategy is to avoid any discussion of the situation in favor of a pivot to, you guessed it, kitchen table issues.
If you’re mad about Dems avoiding talking about DC, you can blame the Democratic quants, as demonstrated in this memo from David Shor’s Blue Rose Research

I’m figuring the Kennedy Center Honors this year will be about 4 hours?

15m to speed run the awards, 3h45m of freeform Trump rambling.

Definitely winning in ratings.

Nobody said it would be easy, but Republicans found a way to cut taxes for the rich while taking away your healthcare. A story of true heroism.

With this vote, Congress makes ICE the highest-funded federal law enforcement agency in history, with more money per year at its disposal over the next four years than the budgets of the FBI, DEA, ATF, US Marshals, and Bureau of Prisons combined.

Trump has no idea what's in his own bill because even he said don't touch Medicaid. The bill guts Medicaid. It guts Medicaid by $1 trillion. This is a fact, and we are not going to let Fox News or anyone else distort the truth.
Fox News is working overtime to help Republican launder their lies that actually nobody is losing Medicaid

Republicans just voted to pass Trump’s Tax Scam, take healthcare away from 17 million people, kick 11.8 million people off food stamps, and rip school lunches away from kids — all so they can shovel $4.5 trillion to the ultra-rich in tax cuts.

We're going to make sure voters remember this in 2026.

Worth a read if you’re cautious about getting sucked into Bluesky (mostly as a creator, but it applies to users too). It could, very easily (arguably, very likely) go the way of X via the inexorable spiral of capitalism.
