Coons on Epstein files: "My hunch is that AG Bondi, having just been ordered on social media by the president to open an investigation into a series of high-profile Dems, will promptly say, 'No, there's an ongoing investigation, we can't disclose any of this,' and the president will back that up."

AOC: "It is unconscionable that what we are debating right now is legislation that will give 8 senators over $1 million a piece & we're robbing people of their food assistance & healthcare to pay for it. How can we vote to enrich ourselves by stealing from the American people?"

If **Jeffrey Epstein** thinks you're a evil and demented sociopath, the odds are overwhelming that you are, in fact, an evil and demented sociopath.

Grijalva: That is why I will sign the discharge petition right now to release the Epstein files. Justice cannot wait another day.

This is why you do not make deals with terrorists.

In the most predictable development ever, Mike Johnson is not committing to hold a House vote on ACA subsidies

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

This is a bad deal, and the old way of doing things is clearly not working.

We need new leaders in the Senate.

The corruption never ends

Murdering humans in the Caribbean Sea. Risking starvation of tens of millions of Americans. Urging abusive federal agents to use deadly force.

Can Americans agree to never again elect a man who could not care less about human life, except for his own?

Texas… it’s not just Grijalva….

#TrumpEpsteinFilesCoverUp

All the pearl-clutching about Zohran Mamdani--by right-wingers who elected a half-senile old TV star president--is very amusing. For once the shoe is on the other foot.

Make no mistake, Trump was absolutely on the ballot last night.

All his endorsed candidates got trounced.

It was a rebuke of him, his policies, his cruelty and his corruption.

It was a rebuke of authoritarianism, of fascism.

Working class Americans want their country back.

Obama: As for the president, he has been focused on critical issues like paving over the rose garden so folks don't get mud on their shoes and gold plating the Oval Office and building a ballroom… If you can't visit a doctor, don't worry. He will save you a dance.

Obama: "They never miss a chance to scapegoat minorities and blame DEI for every problem under the sun. You got a flat tire? Must be DEI. Your wife kicked you out? DEI. Who knew?"

Rep. Adam Smith: "This country has not agreed to have the death penalty for drug smuggling. If we want to have that policy conversation, we can have that policy conversation, but the president has unilaterally decided that lethal force is going to be applied. It's an enormous expansion of power."

Rep. Rosa DeLauro: "On the food stamp issue, the money is there! Let them not get away with saying they can't do it. Their political will isn't there to feed the people who rely on the SNAP program which is the most effective anti-hunger program in the USA."

So the president took a dementia test, and then they administered an MRI. Where’s the media on this?

🔥 @jessicatarlov.bsky.social : “No one can confirm we’ve actually been taking out drug traffickers… the admiral in charge resigned… all these people have been blown up without any evidence of a crime… the government’s story is not adding up.”

Connecting the many dots...

Walz: "They are paying contractors to pay down the East Wing but they're not putting money into the food bank. So if there's a sense of frustration in America, it's very real ... when the White House press secretary said their top priority is the ballroom, we could not disagree more."

The same people who lost their minds over renovations to Cracker Barrel are totally fine with the White House getting bulldozed

Chris Murphy: "There's a lot of history that has taken place in the East Wing & it was just destroyed without any conversation in the public, without any consent of Congress. It's absolutely illegal. That visual is powerful b/c you're watching destruction of the rule of law as those walls come down"

A tweet from James Surowiecki reads: “This tweet is a perfect encapsulation of the MAGA understanding of presidential power: since Trump was elected, he can do whatever he wants, ignore the Constitution, and ignore the law. But that's not how US democracy is supposed to work. The president is not a king.” Below it, he quotes Meghan McCain’s tweet, which says: “I don’t understand how Trump is a King when he won every single swing state, the electoral college and popular vote in a democratic election.”

Unfortunately this particular McCain apple fell far from the family tree.

Five Ways the Department of Education Is Upending Public Schools The Trump administration has made a rapid succession of hires and decisions at the Department of Education that could spur profound changes in how schools operate and children learn. Here’s what to kn...

The Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights has launched investigations against school districts for teaching lessons on systemic racism and hosting empowerment gatherings for students of color.

The campaign against “antifa” is about establishing a beachhead for further attacks on speech and assembly rights. We see that today in the effort to preemptively label No Kings protesters as “terrorists.”

Trump and Hegseth give Qatar an airbase in Idaho and Qatari pilots will be flying jets over American airspace. Their lavish gifts and personal business deals with Trump worth billions really paid off for them.

Pam Bondi admits she spoke to Apple to "get the ICEBlock app taken down." Sounds an awful lot like coercion to suppress disfavored speech to me. A clear violation of the 1st Amendment.

Same.

This video of Chicagoans intervening to save a man from being abducted off the streets by ICE is making the rounds on Instagram.
