THREAD: I got laid off from NYMag/Vulture after 14 years. The family lost 75% of income + medical. Now mzs.press bookstore, once a side project. is do-or-die for Judith & I. I feel weird telling you this because others are doing much worse. But if you could like or share this, we'd be so grateful!

Full offense but this is why the epstein files are so triggering to victims.

"Release the files" is just words to yall.

5 seconds later you'll turn around and say a woman who has chosen to play defense for her husband in them for years was "right about everything"

And not even out of love.

Thank you President Trump for being the Affordability President!

records from three additional interviews with a woman who accused Trump of sexual assault were "incorrectly coded as duplicative"? oh for sure, definitely passes the smell test

Not sure whether these questions have been answered by Mr. Platner. We do not need another Fetterman (what a disappointment there!)

How America Chose Not to Hold the Powerful to Account Our national project of elite impunity

β€œOne way to look at the rise of Donald Trump is as part of a decades-long backlash among the American leadership class to the idea of accountability,” @adamserwer.bsky.social argues:

A belly-to-back suplex is absolutely the right choice for this as it allows you to see the ridiculous pointy hood get absolutely crushed moments before they slam into the ground. I guess a piledriver would also work in that regard, but suplexes are cooler imo πŸ‘€

excellent deep dive into all of the ways that the Trump administration has used the federal budget to keep punishing critics and trying to bend them to his will. FWIW, this is precisely how Viktor Orban crushed the opposition in Hungary 15 years ago. The national budget is a powerful weapon.

Now that Republicans have done Trump's bidding by blocking limits on his war powers, remember that in doing this, they are also relieving *themselves* of the obligation to vote on the enormously consequential decision of whether to go to war. Craven abdication.

KAMLAGER-DOVE: At any point in your tenure at DHS, have you had sexual relations with Corey Lewandowski?

NOEM: You're peddling tabloid garbage

K: You should be able to answer if someone asks if a federal official is sleeping with their subordinate

NOEM: It's garbage

K: It's about your judgment

Alex Aronson: The Reality of Trump’s Rigged Courts Can we count on the judiciary to save us? Here's what the data says

Trump nominated judges (& the Roberts #SCOTUS) "are behaving differently from their Republican peers in a way that consistently benefits Trump. The simplest explanation is the correct one: they were selected not for their legal reasoning, but for their loyalty."

"not conservativism. It’s fealty."β†˜οΈ

We launched a war on the whims of a madman. No planning. No preparation. No justification. No goals.

And no help for 10,000 US citizens stranded by this shoot-from-the-hip war of choice.

Congress, do your fucking job. Shut down this clown show.

Balint to Noem: "You're the secretary of DHS -- for now. And you think you're immune from accountability. But I promise you this: one day he is not gonna be president anymore. And when that day comes, we will still be here. And in hearings like this, we are going to continue to prove your guilt."

The Pentagon has burned through so many missiles in the Iran exchange that Trump is dragging Lockheed and Raytheon CEOs into the White House like a failing factory boss demanding overtime. The military admits the Iran strike consumed more long-range munitions than 4 years of Ukraine.
Trump is posting fantasies about "unlimited supply" while Raytheon can barely promise to "eventually" reach 1,000 Tomahawks a year and the Pentagon only budgeted 57 for 2026.
The industrial base is so hollowed out they're threatening contractors with punishment if they don't ramp up, even though the system physically can't produce at wartime tempo.
America just showed the world that one regional confrontation with Iran drained decades of planning assumptions.

I really really want the world to know that *those federal fuckers have not left*. They are changing tactics. More disguises. Smaller tactical pairs. Smarter tactics.

Reposts welcome, but more importantly share this with folks NOT on Bsky who think we are safe.

Ansari: "The DOJ was caught red handed withholding explosive and credible FBI witness interviews of a woman who accused Donald Trump of sexually assaulting her when she was a minor. Shouldn't we hold hearings on that? Shouldn't Pam Bondi be here, forced to testify about why she's violating the law?"
