House Dems Report: “A growing body of evidence demonstrates Trump was an active participant in Epstein’s sexual abuse of young women during the 1990s. The DOJ & FBI are doing everything they can to keep the 🇺🇸 people in the dark about it.” The report: democrats-judiciary.house.gov/sites/evo-su...

Yes, yes, the renewed accusations that the president is a serial rapist and was an active participant in Epstein's pedophilia and sex trafficking would seem alarming, but it doesn't involve the Cheesecake Factory so ...

AOC: "As AI begins to encroach in our society, their goal is to take your cognition away from you. AI's goal is to take your thoughts away from you, your ability to think away from you, so that you become dependent on a machine ... reading books is active resistance"

SCOOP: 'Tommy' from the now-viral exchange with Abdul El-Sayed is Thomas Teepell, a former staffer for Republican Senator Josh Hawley with close ties to Christian Nationalist Sean Feucht. He's the son of a former Bobby Jindal staffer whose consultant work was instrumental in getting Hawley elected.

no kings includes billionaires who think they’re kings

Q: Will you disavow the Muslim Brotherhood? El-Sayed: Yes. Why are you asking the question? Do you assume that I wouldn’t? Q: Yes, because I have not heard you disavow them yet. El-Sayed: Have you disavowed them? I have not heard you disavow them yet.

Note that she’s clearly identified as press.

The Ilhan Omar stuff is grotesque and feels worthy of impeachment by itself

If there’s evidence of fraud or other financial crimes, let’s see it. But trying to denaturalize and deport a sitting member of Congress over mistakes a parent allegedly made on immigration forms when she was a child is immoral and reprehensible. We can’t stand for it.

He might be onto something

Trump throws Putin yet another lifeline while russia intensifies its killing of Ukrainian civilians. Every American who loves democracy and freedom should be deeply ashamed of their govt and working to punish it for this betrayal of basic American values and interests.

I converted to Catholicism six weeks before running for office. Here’s what the pope gets wrong about live-streamed executions.

I am angry tonight. Because tonight ICE shot a New Yorker. They shot a New Yorker while his five year old child was in the car. ICE makes this city less safe. We want them out. Now.

You hysterical idiots. Donald Trump wasn’t asking Iran to attack LA or San Diego, he was just talking in a completely incoherent way that we have chosen to interpret as saying it would be bad if that happened. And it’s actually good that he talks like that,

notable -- Fox News hasn't mentioned Trump's transphobic attack on Annie Andrews a single time. Not once. And they cover a lot of his Truth Social posts. Almost like they're trying to protect their audience from learning the true depth of his depravity.

Why independent media is so needed, in one post👇🏽 Framing matters

I for one think it’s bad that the president can just say crazy stuff all day every day and 99% of it doesn’t make the news because we’ve normalized having an insane president

⚡️JUST NOW: MASS UN WALKOUT ON NETANYAHU

For those of us who've been following PRECISELY this issue for decades, it's like the regularity of bird migrations. Obviously bogus claims (migrating north), fully & categorically debunked (migrating south) a month later. In the old days it was John Fund at WSJ oped page. Now it's DHS/DOJ.

🔥 @abdulelsayed.bsky.social : “I’m a capitalist. We don’t live in capitalism. We live in corporate socialism.”

The billions of dollars we send to a foreign military to drop bombs on somebody else should have been spent to build schools, housing, and to provide healthcare HERE.

He got fined. He did it again anyway. 🫡

Oregon has a long history as a datacenter state. But a new study details a wild imbalance that comes with the industry. Data centers consume ~23% of the state's electricity, but provide jobs for just 0.2% of the state's workforce

New — I wrote about this weird thing where people within the Republican party keep being exposed as Nazis and the party then tries to claim each one is an aberration. The facts, as I lay out here, indicate otherwise:

Newsom: "He's not screwing around. He wasn't screwing around when he called Greg Abbott for 5 seats, said he was entitled to 5 seats. Why does he do that? Because he knows he's going to lose the election unless he rigs the election before one vote is cast. That is what we're up against."

Newsom: "I don't believe there will be a free and fair election as we know it unless we take back the House and Senate"

Happening now in TX: Voters in battleground Tarrant County are telling GOP local officials what they think of their plan to cut 30% of voting locations this year “Nothing you can do can stop us from removing you in November”

Hook this right into my veins.

This morning in Danbury, ICE was arresting parents at school bus stops. But it’s more sinister. ICE waited until the kids were on the bus so when they are dropped off at the end of the day, they are alone, scared to death they can’t find their parents. I’m heading to Danbury.

“Ladies and gentlemen, the Court as currently constituted ruled that President Trump could knock down half the White House and pour your money down a hole. Is that a fair application of the law? Or do we need to reconsider how the Court does business?”

Whether it’s Pete Hegseth overseeing missile depletion, food shortages, and sailor suicide attempts or Lloyd Austin being Black, both secretaries of defense have angered portions of the electorate.

I have a new piece up @msnowreports.bsky.social, on ICE’s plans to give its field agents electroshock gloves. Giving poorly trained and vetted agents a means of inflicting serious pain almost invisibly while serving a govt that not only refuses oversight but relishes in their violence? Not good.

“Socialism is a scareword they have hurled at every advance the people have made… socialism is their name for most anything that helps the people. 1952. Truman. This is how stale their desperate fearmongering is. cc: @MarshaBlackburn

Again it is insane that we have accepted masked secret police.

“How do you define Democratic Socialism?” “It puts people first — Child care. Public schools… The Packers are a publicly-owned 🏈 team. Working class people should be first in government.” (H/T @francescahongwi.bsky.social )

🚨🚨🚨 WAYNE ALLYN ROOT: You have the right to declare a national security emergency for elections. If you do this in the next month, we will get photo ID, proof of citizenship, and a limit to mail ballots TRUMP: Let me just say stranger things have happened. I'll leave it at that

The president's authority as "commander in chief" refers to the military only. The president cannot use executive orders to expand the definition of who is eligible for birthright citizenship under the Fourteenth Amendment. The president's aide saying these things is a virulent white nationalist.

El-Sayed: "Once a government agency like ICE is told it has impunity to do the worst things and violate the highest law of the land, which is the Constitution itself, I don't think you can reform or retrain. I think we need to start from scratch ... I think we need to abolish it."

One more interesting point: this spring I sat down with Sharyn Alfonsi of 60 Minutes for an extensive interview about my Epstein investigation. Subsequently, CBS pulled the segment and fired the reporter. The MAGA buyout of media has unquestionably aided the Trump administration’s cover up here.

look at the Timbers, man. selling tickets. securing corporate sponsorships. being “politically divisive”. how. do. they. do it.

JUST NOW — Schumer Interrupted: “What could be more corrupt than backing genocide? How dare you talk about corruption. It’s amazing you can show your genocidal face in public!”

Uber Eats and DoorDash hid tip buttons and set default tips below 10%. As a result, tips for delivery workers fell 79%.  In January, we made these corporations change their apps — and in the past six months, we've put $104 million back in delivery workers' pockets.  This is only the beginning.

kids, i have something exciting to tell you. I just financed a cybertruck through x the everything app. also your mom left

Ossoff: "Each day his allies are fewer & even they no longer deny his corruption, the obscene self-dealing while he plunges nation deeper into reckless war while he rakes in billions & builds himself ballroom & prepares again to attack elections. Let's be clear, one man attempted fraud in GA: Trump"

this ought to be impeachable

Breaking News: Federal officials acknowledged in court documents that they canceled grants to states that didn’t vote for President Trump in 2024. nyti.ms/4gRd5Kb

"That's what they give me to read, so what can I tell you? ... I don't know what the hell that means" -- Trump is surprised by the stuff he's straight up reading from the text that was prepared for him

Reporter: Isn’t there concern that this slippery slope to socialism inevitably ends up as full-blown communism? AOC: They want to call everything they don’t like communist because if people actually wake up to the fact that their elected officials are screwing them over when they get here
