Why won't Mike Lawler support the release of the Epstein files?

He wants to "move on" from the controversy because that benefits him. Call his office today.

The key to impeachment? Timing In the meantime, the Democrats are stuck in a bind: between being unable to do anything and being accused of doing nothing.

Democratic reaction to an impeachment essay I wrote at 100 days ranged from β€œthere’s no point, it did nothing last time” to β€œdo it right now, what is wrong with you people?” Here are my answers to @editorialboard.bsky.social's hard questions about this dilemma. www.editorialboard.com/the-key-to-i...

🧡In honor of what would have been his 99th birthday today, here's a Miles Davis Top 10 comprised of my favorite recordings. Rules: No compilations or posthumous box sets. Only releases that appeared during his life or live performances issued after his death (bootlegs allowed).

Nefertiti, Kind of Blue, and Milestones are my favorites but Nefertiti is probably at the top

So a respected journalist warned the nation that the Trump administration is a threat to free speech and, true to form, its state media outlet warns that there will now surely be retribution by the administration against that same journalist and his network for his act of free speech.

Evil is cutting pediatric cancer research

Evil is taking food from starving kids

Evil is vilifying Social Security recipients

Evil is firing thousands of hardworking civil servants-knowing that 30% of them are veterans

Those are verifiable things Elon Musk did

Evil things

🚨Florida District 1🚨

On April 1-
VOTE Gay Valimont to replace disgraced Matt Gaetz.

Valimont supports SS, healthcare, gun violence prevention and our vets. Her opponent wants to cut funds to the VA.

We have a chance to win back Congress and counter Trump’s viscous attacks! Vote Valimort!

The 1% evade $163B in taxes per year.

Tesla paid $0 in federal income taxes from 2018 - 2022 & 2024.

Billionaires can write off the cost of their private jets and yachts.

While undocumented immigrants paid $96B in taxes in 2022.

The more you look into it, the crazier it gets.

🚨 Wisconsin!🚨
Vote #SusanCrawford on April 1st for reproductive rights, fair voting laws, and balanced legislative maps. Musk has spent over $12 mil to help MAGA Brad Schimel. Don’t let him dictate Wisconsin’s future. Vote for Crawford to ensure the judiciary represents the people’s interests.

I’ve been saying this for some time.

This is where the #naacp #nationalurbanleague #civilrightsorg could exert their dominance and strength. These schools capitalize off of the talents of Black and brown bodies, especially in athletics.

People that don’t know history are doomed to repeat it.

Right now, in our country we are 100% repeating one of the ugliest most disgraceful times in world history, and it’s our government doing it.

We need more brave individuals to speak up and speak out to save the soul of our nation.

At many (most?) universities, international students pay full freight (often allowing the school to offer financial aid and scholarships to U.S. students). Terrorizing them will no doubt decrease int’l enrollment, hitting higher ed’s bottom line. Which is the point.

I found a β€˜dead’ person collecting Social Security in Seattle β€œDead” Ned Johnson turns out to be very much alive. It took him weeks to convince the system he was breathing and to start clawing his benefits back.

"But I’m on the phone with you right now, he told them. Also, what did I die of?"

The real punchline here is that this not-dead guy (a fake problem) couldn't fix his payments because SSA already doesn't have enough staffing (a real problem)

BREAKING β€” I've confirmed the DOGE staffers at SSA. They are Marko Elez (who was previously fired for racist posts and then reinstated), Ethan Shaotran, Nikhil Rajpal, and Gautier Cole-Killian.

This is per Social Security Works, a non-profit working to protect/expand Social Security.
