@khanna.house.gov This repo documents technical analysis of some DOJ Epstein archive materials. The focus is on files returned from the search query: "no images produced" The DOJ archive frequently serves URLs mislabeled with a .pdf extension. This fixes that. github.com/HackTuah/doj...
@jennycohn.bsky.social Tag Thomas Massie on Twitter about this. I dont know if the GOP know whats in the bill.
Even some of the SAVE America Act’s cosponsors are misguided about the bill’s identification requirements for registration, mistakenly believing a state driver’s license compliant with the 2005 REAL ID Act would be sufficient. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
@yenforcongress.bsky.social Yen, a few notes: your X account links too yenbailey.com which has nothing on the page. Also your email links to a gmail account; the most secure & easy way to host an email server for a domain is ProtonMail it costs ~45$ a year. Good luck! www.proton.me/mail
@amgforcongress.bsky.social Hey Amanda, I am making lists for congressional candidates. Your Bluesky link is broken on your website and you should do the Candidate Connection on Ballotpedia. Best of luck!

[The rape victim] replied ‘Donald J. Trump had raped her along with Jeffrey Epstein.’ [The rape victim] noted some girl with a funny name (Ghislaine?) took me into a fancy hotel or building, that's how it happened. The victim was later found murdered in Kiefer, OK. www.rawstory.com/amp/jeffrey-...
Biden's failure to hold Trump accountable will forever tarnish the office of the Presidency far more than holding him accountable ever would have.
It's upsetting to hear, but Biden wanted to go easy on Trump in his impeachment trial, notes @johnbonifaz.bsky.social. Sen. Coons... "made clear to Congressman Raskin, 'you are not calling witnesses. President Biden doesn't want this'". Clips @chattjazz.bsky.social www.patreon.com/c/PoliticsWi...

In 2017 a 1M$ payment was made into the Senate Majority Fund which was used to get Marco Rubio elected in 2016. It was made 6 months AFTER Marco Rubio was elected on the same day, March 30, 2017, he announced his Senate offices had been hacked. @khanna.house.gov @natsechobbyist.bsky.social

She watched as [Trump] tied Katie to the bed, exposed himself, then forcibly raped & sodomized the poor girl. Katie pleaded with him to stop, crying and begging him to “please wear a condom.” He hit her across the face, screaming that he’d do whatever he wanted. open.substack.com/pub/ellieleo...
When I was begging people to push the Epstein issue I remember @piperformissouri.bsky.social saying "give it a month, see what happens then". It's been alot longer and it hasn't gone away? Was I right, Jess? Well? www.youtube.com/watch?v=U_zW...

I am infuriated by the reports coming out of the John Moss Federal Building. I will be visiting the building to make sure the law is followed. [1/2]
I followed every member of Congress who has an account on Bluesky. Why is Representative Nikema Williams the only person demanding an end to the unlawful takeover in DC?
We must put an end to Donald Trump's unlawful takeover of D.C. I've co-sponsored two bills: one to limit the President's control over D.C., and another to require the President to report to #Congress before deploying the National Guard in non-disaster relief situations. (1)

"Exhaustion is a strategy. Distraction is a strategy. Confusion is a strategy. And while we’ve been caught up in the noise, Trump has been moving forward with something far more dangerous than the daily scandals: a long-term plan to rig the system so he never loses power again.”

It is unconscionable that the democratic party has failed so utterly to respond to this moment. We need new leadership
A police escort to and from my house and nowhere else because my white coworkers said so? And you’re asking what else could they have done? I don’t fucking think so. The Democrats are cowards. And their cowardice is what is emboldening the Republicans.

Remember when Ronald Reagan and the CIA funneled crack cocaine into black neighborhoods in connection with funding the Contras and arms deals with Iran? I do. You know who the AG was that covered up Iran-Contra? Bill Barr. www.huffpost.com/entry/gary-w...
The suffering of America's gun violence crisis is concentrated in Black neighborhoods damaged by decades of disinvestment and racial discrimination. Trump is unravelling efforts to solve the problem. n.pr/4fOAVUs
