The Epstein Files were supposed to be released 123 days ago.

They paused Oversight Committee hearings the minute we started getting answers about the Epstein files.

Now it’s “roundtables”: no rules, no oaths, no subpoenas.

You do the math. Because the moment accountability shows up, they shut it down. The survivors deserve better.

PabloReports: What do you make of Stephen Miller and Tom Homan asking for all this money but then refusing to show up to the hearing today?

Frost: That’s what happens when you have a lapdog as speaker.

HUGE WIN! H.R. 1897 the bill that would have gutted Endangered Species Act protections for threatened and endangered species has been pulled from today’s House floor vote. Your calls and pressure worked. Thank you for speaking up.

Reports indicate Elon Musk controls a secretive network of over 90 companies and entities so he can hide how he spends his money.

No wonder he wanted the Trump admin to “look into” the Corporate Transparency Act, which would have regulated those companies.

The Infowars news is funny, yes. But more importantly, it is an outright rebuke of Alex Jones' evil.

It's testament to the strength and resilience of the Sandy Hook families who survived this bullshit for more than a decade as well as the Onion, which didn't give up on this for the last 18 months.

Good morning to everyone who voted for Kamala Harris.

I hope the takeover of InfoWars by @theonion.com and @timheidecker.bsky.social that resulted from the bankruptcy brought on by Alex Jones’ evil attacks on the victims of Sandy Hook brings you as much joy as it does me.

When you're sitting there at your table, do you think it'll cross your mind that the guest of honor is actively covering up his role in a massive child sex trafficking operation?

A poster that reads, “Believing a 12-year-old is mature enough to give birth to her rapist's baby, but needs parental approval to check out a book, is peak Republican.”

Believing a 12-year-old is mature enough to give birth to her rapist's baby, but needs parental approval to check out a book, is peak Republican.

Tomorrow, I’ll post a reminder to the GOP about book bans and censorship :-)}

In the same manifesto, Palantir's owners argued that we need a national military draft, that soft power is over, and that we were too hard on Germany and Japan after World War II. I don't think that company should be allowed to exist anymore.
