I know there's a lot going on but I feel it should probably be more of an above-the-fold story that members of Congress released a thoroughly documented report directly accusing the president of the United States of being a serial rapist.

VOTE

Never been to the opera before? Now’s your chance. We’re giving away 70,000 free tickets to the @metopera at the iconic Lincoln Center. Go to on.nyc.gov/opera to enter the lottery. There’s not a bad seat in the house.

Imagine if the media were as upset about actual fascism as they are of nonexistent “communism.”

If American democracy fails, everything people here care about - Gaza, climate change, spelling reform, whatever - gets worse. (Just ask the people now dying in Africa.) So prioritize your voting as if you're a reasoning, capable adult, and not a single-issue child holding your breath.

My God, this thread:

I sacrificed to support my team

Knicks, down by 29, proved that nothing is impossible if you fight back hard enough. What a win.

I am going to have to give the Knicks and NYC the gift of abstaining from watching. We did not watch the first 2 games, watched Game 3 and tonight we started watching until they were down 25 points...and we changed the channel. I just saw the final score.

BREAKING: Dr. Annie Andrews will challenge Lindsey Graham for his U.S. Senate seat in South Carolina in November.

again very funny to think that a critical pro trump message in 2024 was that he wouldn’t start world war iii

23 people could stop this genocidal war criminal. That’s it. 23. 20 Republican senators and 3 republican reps in the house and he’d be out of politics forever. But they won’t. They’re addicted to power. A drug so strong they’d rather see a civilization die than give it up.

I know Trump is insane and evil but he’s literally just one guy. This could be ended at any time if people in power would just hit him with a fucking newspaper and say NO! Thats the most infuriating part of all of this. HE IS JUST ONE MAN FFS

The SAVE America Act is a voter suppression scam. It would take away the rights of working people to make their voices heard at the ballot box. The Senate must reject this bill.

Jen's getting at something bigger here – a feature of Trump's character. He assumes nearly all precedent exists because those who preceded him were idiots. He does not (cannot?) imagine that sometimes things are the way they are for good reason. That personality defect is a national security threat.

The world could be such a nice place if we allowed it. It's all so goddamn unnecessary. There's no need for any of it. It's so beautiful here. It should be so cool to be alive

Hey, all you folks who voted third party or not at all to protest Biden/Harris Mideast policies, good job!

Here is Hillary Clinton’s opening statement to House Oversight on Epstein. Clinton says she does not recall ever encountering Epstein and says she knew nothing about his crimes. She also says that Trump should testify under oath and criticizes the committee for not holding any public hearings.

The Justice Department has withheld some Epstein files related to allegations that President Trump sexually abused a minor, an NPR investigation finds. It also removed some documents from the public database where accusations against Jeffrey Epstein also mention Trump. www.npr.org/2026/02/24/n...

Your now-regular reminder that Republicans in Congress are okay with all of this...

This how you isolate and capture "the worst of the worst" of these dangerous immigrants. You show yourself to be in need of help, and the worst criminals reveal themselves and their criminality by doing whatever they can to provide you with help. Masterful law enforcement.

It shouldn’t be harder for a woman to register to vote than a man…

america could be such a cool fucking place if we’d just let it be

2017 email shows Jeffrey Epstein telling Michael Wolff that dinner guests were “concerned about dementia” after being with Donald Trump.

Welcome to the Winter Olympics don't ask about how many people died or were injured in the making of this sport please and thank you.

The vile video is racist. Period. And it came from a racist White House. If you can't say that, what are we doing here.

“I will tell you that the day RFK Jr was nominated to lead health and human services was the day that I decided to get into this race,” she told The Telegraph. www.telegraph.co.uk/us/news/2026...

There are no more “principaled Republicans.” If there were, two or three of them would simply caucus with the Democrats and start to hold this lawless administration accountable of its crimes.

“They were careless people, Tom and Daisy- they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made.” F Scott Fitzgerald “The Great Gatsby”

This email between Epstein and JD Vance’s tech oligarch benefactor Peter Thiel where they plan to “collapse” society to create investment opportunities for themselves seems… not great (They also met with the UN ambassador to Russia together)

I know you've heard that a federal judge ordered the release of 5 year old Liam Conejo Arias and his father, and that they're now home. But did you look at the judge's order? It's less than 2.5 pages and well worth a minute. "Jesus wept." Link to pdf: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Okay. Time to call your democratic senators and tell them that Bovino’s demotion and humiliation WILL NOT SUFFICE to fund DHS.

"You don’t have to go into the streets of Minnesota to fight back. You can simply state plainly that our government is lying to us. Say it somewhere. Online. To a friend or family member. But do not let their lies go unanswered by truth."

We need everyone we can get in this fight against a fascist takeover. If your first instinct to someone being politically mobilized by all this is to give them a sneering "well, what took you so long?" you don't actually care about our winning this; you just want to be able to say you were right.

I’m a bit annoyed that our national flag has been hijacked as a hate symbol.

Remember, in his first term Trump asked military leaders of protesters: “can’t you just shoot them.” Back then his officials refused. So he found ones who wouldn’t. This is what he’s always wanted. It’s not an accident. It was his vision. www.npr.org/2022/05/09/1...

The insanity of all of this is that literally a handful of fucking elected Republicans could stop all of this. Which tells me they like it.

Yes, the GOP controls Congress. That's why it's key to show Congress COULD stop the madness. And it's not just the DHS bill. Congress could repeal the prior multi-year $75b for DHS; set up a special investigative committee (cf. Watergate); amend the Insurrection Act; etc.

Bernice King has it absolutely right. We are facing a moral crisis in this country. And we must all act together to end it.

It's really too bad the United States Congress no longer exists.

Even after Trump is gone, the world will remember that he threatened to forcibly seize the territory of a peaceful democratic ally, and our institutions failed to immediately remove him. That makes US dangerously unreliable, not just one senile gangster.

Everything is so stupid

Remember: Many if not most Republican Senators and Reps know how radically dangerous Trump is. They could remove him from office and end this nightmare today if they chose—but they don’t, because they lack the integrity and courage. This is not just a Trump problem. It’s the GOP.
