Thomas Massie: “Prince Andrew was just arrested — this was the metric I established for success of the Epstein Files Transparency Act that Rep. Ro Khanna & I got passed

Now we need JUSTICE in the United States — It's time for Attorney General Pam Bondi & FBI Director Kash Patel to act”

Americans waking up to news that Prince Andrew has been arrested for Epstein ties

Thread. Elite accountability is hard, but not impossible. This is the most acute form--criminal wrongdoing. There are other processes for policy or governing debacles (congressional oversight, a thing we used to do; political costs, ditto). Not fast or easy, but processes that need revitalizing.

Just bought a shirt from the sisters of charity in NY that says the saints were woke. Got my mom the one that says holy troublemaker. This is how we resist the spread of white nationalist Christianity: honesty, emulation of the good in our faith traditions, & not backing down! There is work to do!

‘Residential protesting’ could be a crime in Minnesota under new GOP proposal A bill that’s backed by a coalition of GOP lawmakers set to be proposed at the start of the upcoming session would make “residential protesting" punishable under Minnesota law.

Minnesota Republicans want to criminalize "residential protesting." These are the same Republicans cheering on masked secret police engaging in routine violations of the 4th amendment.

Same!! Also an election worker and I completely agree!

ICE legal operations are coming to Westerville, Ohio. This feels like a worthy candidate for peaceful protests.

A short note to Kristi Noem To a current Cabinet secretary from a former one

The New York Times reports that the Department of Homeland Security has sent Google, Meta, and other media corporations subpoenas for the names on accounts that criticize ICE enforcement. The department wants to identify Americans who oppose what it’s doing. I’ll save them time.

American democracy can absolutely withstand a non-legally binding EO about voter ID.

The president does not control state election requirements.

Organizers, activists and operatives are prepared for Republicans to try to mess with election results as they have been for decades.

Exclusive: Key US infectious-diseases centre to drop pandemic preparation Staff members have been instructed to scrub this topic and ‘biodefense’ from the agency’s website.

Scoop: The NIH infectious-diseases institute (NIAID) will soon scrub “pandemic preparedness” and “biodefense” from its web pages, according to e-mails I obtained.

So they thing they are “afraid” of is their friends & family are going to exclude them, ostracize them, shun them for their horrific behaviors? Seems to me that they are not very proud of what they are doing if this is their fear.

I would also think they fear prison when this ends, whenever it is.
