The DOJ violates the Epstein Files Transparency Act on the daily. So I'm suing Todd Blanche. As a journalist, I cannot report accurately on the Epstein Files if I cannot even read them. I am represented by @brendanballou.bsky.social & we seek to hold the DOJ accountable for its noncompliance.

Remember how less than three weeks ago the president threatened to kill an entire civilization

If you were horrified watching elected leaders run & scramble because of gun violence, just imagine how my daughter Jaime felt in school running from an active shooter before she was killed. Now, become a part of the solution & only vote for people determined to address gun violence in America.

NEWS: Huge first win for Mayor Mamdani’s tax-the-rich plans in NYC. Mamdani just secured a deal with Gov. Hochul to create the state’s first-ever tax on $5 million+ second homes owned by ultrawealthy out-of-state residents.

We will be taxing the ultra-wealthy and global elites.

Amazing 🧵!

My thoughts on the Swalwell stuff. Notice how Democrats always hold their own accountable and Republicans just yell fake news, no matter how vile the evidence is?

If we’re talking about expelling people from government for sexual assault there’s an important one that needs to go…

Hungarians showing how to win big in an unfair election: organize AND protest AND vote AND demand profound change.

Orbán's electoral crushing is a far greater achievement than most people outside Hungary realise. He systemically consolidated power for 16 years, fixed the electoral map, abused govt power for political purposes & censored media. The hurdles that Hungarians overcame for this moment were immense.

Do Americans know that their Vice President was in Hungary campaigning for a Putin ally to be reelected, instead of in DC during a war in which Putin is helping Iran target Americans?

Here we fixed this for you, @wsj.com We see you trying to help JD pretend he doesn’t have to wear this war when he runs for president. Nope.

“We always seem to have money for war. But not to feed the poor.”

Just wanted to remind folks, especially the GOP and the FDD, that Barack Obama’s 2015 nuclear deal didn’t give Iran control of the Strait of Hormuz or allow it to keep 60% enriched uranium. It sent $1.7 billion to Iran versus the tens of billions Iran will now make from tolls. 🤷🏽‍♂️

Mayor Mamdani chats with New Yorkers while walking the six miles from City Hall to Gracie Mansion, fulfilling the promise he made in his inauguration speech to “be outside” as Mayor — “because this is a government of New York, by New York, and for New York.”

NEW: National poll on No Kings 3. ATTENDANCE: 7% say they attended; 16% more said they wanted to. POPULARITY: +10 among all voters; +22 among mods. GROWTH: 32% of protestors were first timers. 27% of all adults said they'll come next time. Highlights & crosstabs: indivisible.org/news/nationa...

In his first 100 days, Zohran Mamdani has: -Delivered millions in restitution for workers cheated by gig companies -Cracked down on predatory landlords -Launched the first stage of a universal childcare program -Fixed thousands of potholes in NYC streets This is what leadership looks like.

I don't know about you but I'm tired of these Epstein Files shenanigans. There's a law on the books about this and apparently that's unimportant. The remedy is actually very simple. We arrest everyone who is stalling its release.

The Middle East is full of religious extremists who blindly revere evil men. Oops! I meant *The United States* not The Middle East.

🔥 @rokhanna.bsky.social to Democratic leadership: “Get out. Let a new generation lead. You’ve been ineffective. The base doesn’t like you. The base wants fighters.”

This whole thread 👇🏼👇🏼

I'd really like to see leadership calling for impeachment and removal, regardless of whether they have the votes to get it done. Same way we called for marriage equality before we had the votes. A leader's job is to lead. If a genocidal threat isn't impeachable, then nothing is.

Where’s Congress? 🕵🏻‍♀️

The fact that nobody seriously believes there is an institution in this country that will check the president—that we’re all just sitting here hoping that he gets distracted and fails to follow through on his genocidal threats—is the most damning indictment of our political system I’ve seen yet.

So much of this could have been prevented if the men in the Epstein files had been prosecuted instead of protected.

Trump lost this war in every possible sense — morally, legally, politically, economically, reputationally, and strategically.

Moment of Zen: Early morning ocean rolling against the cliffs, Depoe Bay, Oregon

Did you, like us, spend the day staring at the wall wondering if we were about to massacre every man, woman, and child in Iran at 8pm this evening? ☎️CALL your representatives Especially if they are REPUBLICANS. They are not immune to public pressure. Impeach and remove 5calls.org/issue/stop-i...

No Member of Congress should trust any ‘ceasefire’ announced by Trump on social media. They must do their duty to end this war themselves. Congress must act immediately before Trump can do more damage. Mike Johnson and John Thune must do their jobs and reconvene Congress.

It’s time for Mike Johnson and John Thune to do their jobs and reconvene Congress. Recess doesn’t get to continue while Trump is threatening to annihilate 100 million people. If Thune and Johnson refuse to do their jobs, Schumer and Jeffries must bring Democrats back to DC to end this war.

Just because a President announces he’s agreed to a two week ceasefire moments before he threatened to commit war crimes, does not mean he is suddenly fit to serve. #25thAmendment

Please stop saying TACO. We’re talking about an ungodly number of people who could die or maimed. It’s not time for cutesy little internet slang. We have to get away from this bizarre desensitization.

So pro-life means jailing women who miscarry but shrugging when the deranged president says “a whole civilization will die tonight.” Do I have that right?

Where are the members of the US House saying they will force daily floor votes on new articles of impeachment against this lawless president? Where are the members of the Senate saying they are ready to vote to convict and remove him? Stop the gaslighting with the 25th Amendment. Use your power…1/

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'm not sure how you can be against removing this man from office right now. What will it take? A nuke being dropped? It's too late then. The purpose of impeachment and the 25th Amendment is to prevent that type of thing from happening, not just to react to it.

I feel sick to my stomach waiting around to see what atrocity Trump has in mind for the people of Iran this evening. It's hard to fathom our other elected leaders aren't able to check him in any meaningful way. It's an indictment not just of voters but of our whole system. We're ruled by a mad king.

Rep. Ted Lieu isn't backing down.

THIS!!!!!

This is really good as well. So far Ted Lieu, Chris Murphy, and Elissa Slotkin making this point with crystal clarity. More Dems need to do this.

The President is openly threatening genocide. A crime against humanity. He must be removed from office. The 25th Amendment must be invoked. If not, Congress has to do our damn job. Speaker Johnson, call us into session. War powers & impeachment. Remove this man from office.

This is a supervillain monlogue. I will never understand how anyone can watch this man say things like “a whole civilization will die tonight” and fail to recognize evil when they see it.

As Trump threatens the people of Iran with more war crimes and continues to destroy America’s reputation, Congress isn’t powerless in this moment. Demand that your senators and representative do everything they can to stop the regime’s illegal war.
