The Epstein Recess continues.

🎯

Ronald Reagan said it. #NoKings tomorrow 10/18

Homeowners: "we pay too much in property taxes. We demand lower taxes" Also Homeowners: "I can't believe how little this city does for us. Roads are in terrible condition, services are awful, and infrastructure is crumbling" how do people not see the connection

JUST IN: Brazil’s top court sentences former President Jair Bolsonaro to 27 years and 3 months in prison over his attempted coup

Weather forecast: today’s a good day to release the Epstein files.

going to buy a home in a walkable by selling sponsorships and hanging donor names on the wall like they do at the guggenheim

AAAAAAHHHHHHH

[writing the constitution] Benjamin Franklin: Write down "no dumb fucks as president" Alexander Hamilton: Stop saying that Benjamin Franklin: I'm tellin' you. You're gonna regret not writing that down

Thou Shalt Redact The Names of Epstein's Victims, Not His Accomplices.

“Oh my goodness. Oh dear. Are you worried that billionaires are going to go hungry?”🔥 #TaxTheRich #Zohran

The Rocky Horror Picture Show has officially joined the One Million Watched Club on Letterboxd 💋

Reminder: two of the most prominent economic libertarian theorists, Hayek and Friedman, believed in a universal basic income and, yet, America's left-leaning party won't even consider it.

“When the Executive publicly announces its intent to break the law, and then executes on that promise, it is the Judiciary’s duty to check that lawlessness, not expedite it.” -Justice Sonia Sotomayor

i used to think there was no difference between coke and pepsi and then i actually had a pepsi recently and thought it was terrible

Kelly said: “Rest assured, no one knew this kind of flood was coming.” That's the absolutely NOT reassuring.

-A living wage -Guaranteed healthcare -The right to join a union -The right to vote -The right to choose when, how, and with whom you start a family -The right for you and your family to live free from gun violence These are the foundations of real freedom.

“Is there anything you can’t see on the x-ray?” Yeah… we actually can’t see why you thought bringing fireworks to the airport was a good idea?

Warnock: If I'm honest, there are days when I have to ask people of my faith tradition as a Christian, are we reading the same book?  The book I know says I was hungry and you fed me. I was sick, I was in prison and you visited me, I was a stranger and you welcomed me….

1/ If Justice Barrett thinks we need to go back to what the Founding Fathers intended, I’ve got news for her. Their biggest concern was avoiding tyranny. So they created 3 branches of gov’t & divvied up the power the people (that’s us) were allowing the gov’t to use to create order for all of us.

8.7k likes that's impressive I didn't even think that many people had pcs in 1986

Best day on social media since Kissinger died

VEASEY: You've credited the 12 steps in your recovery. What's step 4? RFK JR: Making a fearless inventory VEASEY: Of ourselves. Do you remember step 12? RFK JR: We try to help other addicts VEASEY: Does cutting off treatment from people still suffering align with step 4 or step 12?

That one person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress, or our allies, or fully explaining to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers. Reminder that Congress has the power to stop all of this. Where the hell are they? Hello?

Senator Ted Cruz posted a dramatic video of LAPD cars on fire with the caption “this… is… not… peaceful.” What he didn’t mention? The footage was from 2020, not 2025. His post on X falsely implied it was current, part of a broader effort to spread lies and manufacture a crisis.

Lots of talk today about the demise of BlueSky. For whatever it's worth, it's been a boon to indie publishers like us. Twitter and Facebook have pretty much silenced us, so the engagement here has, and continues to be, wonderful.

For many Native nations & tribes, women did then & still today determine who’s worthy to be chief — chief of the tribe, the warrior chief, etc. This hasn’t sat well w/ white men, then or today. It’s simple: women & Two Spirits were & are the best judges of a man’s character … no explanation needed.

"Telegram is the platform of choice for these warhead influencers. The app is not state-owned — it belongs to a Russian French dual citizen — so the fact the Kremlin hasn't blocked it or shut it down is notable." Because they can be in contact with US government officials? *cough* Pete Hegseth

If you had important information for voters, and kept it to yourself to sell books after it was too late, you’re not a hero. You’re an asshole.
