Some of the facts pertain to Trump’s sexual proclivities and related confessions. Do they add up to proof that Trump was an Epstein client or co-conspirator? No, but we’re not exactly in “always the people you least suspect” territory here. www.offmessage.net/p/call-maga-...

NYPD is using helicopters as a private limo service and/or tour bus. Not even joking. This is why we need to defund the police.

Your regular reminder that basically all of the unhinged Maddow-brain winemom Russiagate stuff was true and Trump successfully covered it up with stonewalling, DOJ interference and pardons

I think the implication is supposed to be that the Israeli military is a paper tiger and they're fucking deranged enough to nuke themselves or the holy land if they're about to be destroyed.

As always with Trump, it’s refreshing to see the 200-Proof Just Pure Id version before having to read the triple-refined haute-cuisine Supreme Court Clerk version, the “To Deny Him Would Be Elitist, Some Say” NYT version, or the thickened, seven-layer, Academic Says It’s Not Really Fascism version

I don't know who needs to know this, but Pro Publica has an online thing that will format a letter to your US health insurance company to demand the records behind a claim denial. (which the insurance is then legally required to provide in most cases)

Yeah fair. I'm mostly thinking about the distillation of conservative ideology to be simply the maintenance and reproduction of "natural hierarchies". Men dominate women, rich dominate poor, boss/worker, herrenvolk/nonherrenvolk, adult/child, etc.
