Chief Strategist for Rand Paul.

It’s been one month since 100% of the Epstein files were due by Act of Congress. Thus far they’ve only released .6% of them and are using murder and war to distract you from this fact.

Mark Kelly: "The message he sent a couple days ago was he declared that loyalty to the Constitution is now punishable by death. Those are serious words coming from the president. He's trying to intimidate us. But I'm not going to be intimidated."

In response to this claim that the "strategy didn't work." The people were on our side. We were building momentum to help save our democracy. We could have won - the premium increase notices were just starting. And giving in now will embolden him. Things will likely get worse.

What will Mike Johnson's new excuse be for not swearing in Grijalva?

Tonight’s Senate vote on the federal government shutdown should have been a time for strength. Instead we saw capitulation and a betrayal of working Americans. The American people need more from their leaders.

Never forget who sold us out: Hassan King Cortez-Masto Shaheen Kaine Fetterman Durbin Rosen

What is happening in the Senate tonight is a travesty and betrayal for every person who depends on ACA subsidies.

This is really good to see: Miki Sherrill just put out a statement sharply criticizing the Senate Dems' pending cave in the government shutdown, ripping it as "malpractice" and a betrayal of the people who are "counting on us to fight for them." Sherrill knows what drove her victory. Wake up, Dems.

Any Democrat who "trusts" notoriously deceitful Republicans to keep their word on an ACA vote deal is too naive/stupid to be in office. Let's fix that next time they are up for election. #PrimaryTheIdiots

@democrats.senate.gov the ACA subsidies are too important to cave now for empty Republican promises. DO NOT DO IT! 🤬✊🏼

Unacceptable. There are 189,000 people in my district who will be paying 50–300% more for the same, and in many cases worse, healthcare. I won’t do that to the people I represent. I’m a NO on this “deal.”

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 94th day out of the last 106. 12 days of work in 106 days. With full pay and benefits. The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown. It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

When you desperately want to starve Americans:

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 79th day out of the last 91. The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown. It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

Ordered to lie, fired when he refused. My thoughts on the 60 Minutes interview of former DOJ attorney turned whistleblower, Erez Reuveni, and why any prosecution in the Trump Regime must be viewed with skepticism, if not outright disgust. youtu.be/GJcXaI7IeH8?...

NEW: Jim Jordan wants to question Jack Smith about his search of Mar-a-Lago, but Merrick Garland executed that search months before Jack Smith was even appointed. One of several lies in this letter demanding Jack Smith's testimony. judiciary.house.gov/sites/evo-su...

FYI

This is an Epstein shutdown.

The GOP health care for immigrants lie is an old one. Here’s me six years ago:

Just a reminder that #Hulu is also owned by #Disney. 🖕🏻

Susan Monarez says RFK Jr. told her to commit to decisions in advance, without reviewing evidence and to dismiss vaccine experts.

As a survivor, I can't think of a more fitting metaphor than a rapist creating loud noises with planes as a survivor tries to tell her story. I mean... just wow. Nevertheless, she persisted.

This is on you Republican senate. You knew he wasn’t fit for the job and you approved him anyway. Now people are going to die.

There's only one way to stop the rumors about Donald Trump's health: a press conference. Why won't he talk to the press, and why isn't the media doggedly demanding it?

Garcia condemns DOJ's piecemeal release of the Epstein files, saying it "just continues this White House cover-up." "Handpicked, partial productions are wholly insufficient and potentially misleading, especially after AG Bondi bragged about having the entirety of the Epstein files on her desk."

Fox News falls for it hook, line, and sinker.

Thanks to a federal judge appointed by Trump, medical debt can now go back on your credit report. We great yet?

Democrats should be all over this. We need answers from Acosta who gave Epstein a "sweetheart deal" that let him stay out of prison for most of the day and allowed him to continue raping girls. www.axios.com/2025/08/05/j...

Welp

There is audio proof that Bove lied to Congress, but republicans are going ahead with the confirmation vote anyhow.

In light of Tulsi’s recent ridiculous claims, a friend just posted this old explainer from 6 years ago about the scope of the Russia investigation that I’d completely forgotten about! 😂 youtu.be/o-CCxLmkn-w?...

Shameful. Epstein victims' lawyer reveals that even AFTER being ordered to, DOJ STILL hasn't reached out the victims regarding the grand jury release (which he calls a red herring). www.youtube.com/watch?v=oLep...

The Washington Post wants us to know about the best sandwiches in town, but not about the Bove confirmation walkout.

“No collusion” “I won the election” “She wasn’t my type” “I never slept with her” “It was a perfect phone call” “We didn’t commit any fraud” “I never paid her any hush money” “There are no classified records here” “There is no Epstein client list”

“I promise you, it would have been a war crime.” that’s what Alejandro Barranco told me what would have happened if he treated a detainee when he was deployed to Afghanistan with the Marines like federal agents treated his father.

New in PN: Judge rules that anti-woke is just racism “'I’ve never seen a record where racial discrimination was so palpable,' Judge Young fumed. 'I’ve sat on this bench now for 40 years. I’ve never seen government racial discrimination like this.' *More of this, please*"

Context note: DOJ doesn’t turn over evidence to Congress if they have a viable investigation in the works.
