BREAKING: We just subpoenaed the Epstein files. As a survivor of sexual assault, I know the pain & trauma survivors carry. This subpoena is a massive victory for every survivor who has ever been silenced, dismissed, or harmed. Bondi must release the files immediately. We demand accountability.

In light of the news that the US economy has *lost* jobs under Donald Trump, it bears a reminder that the US economy *never* lost jobs in *any* month under Joe Biden. What an incompetent loser Donald is.

Corruption is the brand

NEW: Kristi Noem, while governor of South Dakota, supplemented her roughly $130,000 salary by secretly accepting $80,000 donated to a political nonprofit she was affiliated with, records show. She never disclosed this income on federal ethics forms.

UPDATE: 2 more impersonators in Houston alone. (One was shot by a man’s wife) How long are we going to let this madness go on? We should be requiring agents to ID themselves, not legislating to protect masked vigilantes. @MarshaBlackburn

The best way to reduce the cost of Medicaid is to name and shame big employers that pay their full time employees so little, they qualify for Medicaid

Watching Truth Social posts by Trump every hour, each more insane & unhinged than the previous one as he circles the drain of a malignant narcissist’s descent into dementia, makes it that much more ridiculous that media just spent a month on Biden while pretending Trump is sane.

Scanlon: They're flat out lying when they say they're just kicking undocumented immigrants off Medicaid because those folks were never eligible for Medicaid in the first place. The truth is Republicans know that kicking millions of Americans off of health insurance is unpopular.

Ted Cruz just said Mr. Abrego has been charged with Human Trafficking. Cruz proclaims "I read every word of that indictment!" Apparently not, because Abrego was not charged with human trafficking. I hope this comes up in a motion to dismiss the charges.

Hiding declassified files and presidential records is yet another way for the administration to dodge accountability. The authoritarian always seeks to limit your access to information.

Both Senators Blumenthal and Whitehouse make a point of order that deliberative process and attorney client privileges don't apply in judicial nominee hearings. Whitehouse points that Bove is using the privileges selectively, and doesn't even have the right to invoke it.

Jeff Bezos is worth $230 billion and is reportedly spending $20 million on a three-day wedding in Venice while sailing around on his $500 million yacht. If he can afford to do that, he can afford a wealth tax and to pay Amazon workers a living wage. Hello?

We need to start pushing back—legally If they’re masked, unmarked, and flashing Amazon gear, report it for what it is: an attempted kidnapping by law enforcement impersonators. 🎥 Record. 📍 Share location. 📞 Call the police. “ICE vest” is not an ID.

You’d think that destroying one nation would be enough for him, until you remember that he is one of the most corrupt, amoral cowards on the planet, an empty husk of a man who lacks a single noble impulse and whose only instinct is to inflict harm. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/trump-decl...

I can’t speak for every city, but here in LA, ICE bounty hunters aren’t going after gang members. They’re hunting the vulnerable: gardeners, street vendors, day laborers. Easy money, no risk. Folks need to stop pretending this is about crime. @jacobsoboroff.bsky.social—thank you for your words.

read a puff piece on Palm Beach in NYT’s this week but had to go to UK Guardian to learn about the immigrant father who worked in Georgia for decades before dying in ICE custody. I’m bracing myself for the onslaught of Lauren Sanchez dress stories in weekend edition. Gross AF.
