It doesn’t matter how wealthy you are, how powerful you are, or whether you are a Democrat or Republican. If you were involved in Epstein’s crimes or abused women and girls, you should be held accountable. Period.

… Also, not to be too nerdy and pedantic, but in the interview Bessent said that Obama’s library looks like “Darth Vader’s tomb,” when obviously Vader’s body was burned at the end of ROTJ, and the proper comparison is with Darth Vader’s Fortress on Mustafar.

Because Axelrod knows politics. (Or he got lucky by being hired by Obama.)

“I think that he is a star,” David Axelrod tells VF, reacting to Jon Ossoff’s first debate with Mike Collins. But: “I haven’t seen him smile. I’ve never seen him smile. He’s always very severe. So there are other elements of campaigning that I would like to see.”

A trust owned by Texas AG Ken Paxton and his wife, state Sen. Angela Paxton, invested in a company led by a convicted fraudster. The firm and its affiliates later sent the trust 15 payments totaling $83K before and during the AG’s impeachment trial. w/ @texastribune.org

Apparently, some Houston voters are putting their I Voted stickers on the Lorenzo Salgado Araujo memorial. Stephen Miller is ALREADY trying to scapegoat others for losing whatever races they lose in Texas and elsewhere. This is a vivid testament that for some voters, his murder squad is the reason.

Corey Lewandowski was given special status in many ways by former DHS Sec. Kristi Noem, but they both got ousted in March. The Trump DOJ has now launched a criminal investigation into whether he profited from his job. I detail what the criminal investigation may reveal. youtu.be/UsL1sJIBc4o?...

Poland’s Foreign Ministry Sikorski not only reminds Elon Musk that the USA haven’t been paying a cent to Ukraine in almost two years and in fact even benefited from the arms sales, but also schooled him that he is only damaging his brands when meddling in foreign countries.

🚨 NEW: The mother featured in Vivek Ramaswamy’s $4 MILLION attack ad against Amy Acton was found “not credible” by a court in an animal neglect case involving newborn kittens left in a 120°F car. Two kittens died. The disturbing details Ramaswamy’s ad leaves out:

The Trump administration is preemptively suing to block Alaska from certifying a Mary Peltola victory, should she win. Their argument is that the double Dan Sullivan thing is confusing voters. www.reuters.com/world/trump-...

This is about revenue, not safety. A private company takes your picture and mails you a bill. You send the check to the company and the contracting city gets a spiff, a commission, a kickback if you will.

After a Russian strike on Kramatorsk rescuers found the body of a killed man under the rubble of a destroyed private house in Kramatorsk. What a horror to be bombed and killed in your own home for a crime of being Ukrainian in your own country. Russia must be stopped.

Ramaswamy has produced an attack ad weaponizing the rape of his opponent, Amy Acton, when she was 12 years old. It features Acton’s mother, who abandoned Acton after she was raped by her step-father, fleeing the state with her husband. Here is the corporate money helping fund that ad.

Either the President was lying or Musk was lying, but the decision to slow down satellite speed and access has life or death consequences for Ukraine. This deserves a full investigation by the Senate. Elon Musk should be compelled to testify before Congress and under oath.

Amy Acton, Dems' nominee in Ohio, has long said she was molested by a man her mother married when she was a young child. There was a court battle. She went to live with her dad at age 12 ,a& she no longer talked to her mother. Ramaswamy released an ad ft the mother attacking her daughter as a liar.

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.

The Russian invasion was not about Donetsk. The Russian war is not about Donetsk now. All you have to do is listen to any Putin interview about the war. It is about the subjugation of all of Ukraine under a Russian-aligned puppet government.

Sadly, people stopped donating to Democrats after smear campaigns against ActBlue took hold. (There’s not really another way to donate to democratic candidates. You may say “directly to the campaign,” but those go through ActBlue as well.)

Warnock: "I worry that Democrats are missing a real opportunity to invest in a serious & sustained way in the South. If we would just lean in and stay in through the election & after the election, the kind of victory you saw us achieve here in Georgia, it is achievable in a place like Mississippi."
