Why Are Senate Democrats Still Voting to Confirm Trump’s Judicial Nominees? On Tuesday, the Senate Judiciary CommitteeΒ held its firstΒ in a series of eight...

Democrats on the Judiciary Committee keep decrying nominees as unqualified extremists. They also keep voting to turn those nominees into life-tenured federal judges.

Why? πŸ€”

Police don’t wear masks. State troopers don’t wear masks. The National Guard doesn’t wear masks. But you know who does?

White supremacists, militia groups, insurrectionists, and ICE.

β€œDon’t be fooled by those in Epstein’s circle who say they didn’t know what he was doing. Epstein … took a certain glee in making people watch. And people did watch β€” scientists, fundraisers from the Ivy League and other heralded institutions, titans of industry. They watched and they didn’t care.”

There is no way Senate Dems should vote for DHS funding while Republicans are threatening to nationalize elections and Trump is threatening to do it by executive order. ICE reforms are no longer enough. Their authoritarianism must be fought with every legislative lever available.

"The day of accountability will come": Rep. Delia Ramirez on abolishing and prosecuting DHS The Handbasket spoke with the congresswoman who called out ICE long before it was popular.

NEW β€” I spoke with Rep. Delia Ramirez (@ramirez.house.gov) about her calling DHS leaders "inheritors of the Klan hood and the slave patrol," the prospect of one day seeing them behind bars, and what it's like to see the public [finally] embrace her long-held dream to abolish ICE.

Our conversation:

I am not suicidal. I eat healthy food. The brakes on my car and truck are in good shape. I practice good trigger discipline and never point a gun at anyone, including myself. There are no deep pools of water on my farm and I'm a pretty good swimmer.

Epstein survivors say they felt 'degraded' and a 'lack of empathy' from AG Pam Bondi β€œThere was no integrity in that room today, it seems like, when it came to Epstein and Maxwell,” Teresa Helm said after Wednesday's House Judiciary Committee hearing.

A few days ago my friend lost his young daughter to a rare genetic condition. Because it’s uncommon capitalist research institutions don’t dedicate money or time to studying it even though a cure is possible

Please help honor her memory by voting for Batten Disease research to receive grant funding

Trump Justice Department Poised to Preserve Ticketmaster Monopoly - The American Prospect Settlement talks on a monopolization case against Live Nation are under way, with Kellyanne Conway and other MAGA lobbyi

Live Nation/Ticketmaster is a monopoly, which is why it can get away with awful service, charging exorbitant prices, and tacking on fees as high as 75% of the ticket.

Biden sued to break it up.

But after intense lobbying from MAGA world lawyers, Trump's regime seems set to cut a sweetheart deal.

Young people are asking: WHY? Does our future not matter??

The simple truth is that adults are sacrificing the future of young people and future generations for the sake of money, oil, power & greed

We are failing our kids, grandkids and their unborn kids

Today, we taught med students about climate change

I had to begin by telling them how the richest country in the world & biggest contributor to climate change is now in complete climate change denial

And how this administration is actively bullying other countries to also give up on climate action

given education polarization and MAGA's reliance on low propensity voters, something like the SAVE Act would almost certainly backfire on republicans (i'm reasonably sure senate republicans understand this too)

Omg, this is beyond psychotic. The level of dehumanizing hatred you must feel towards someone to do this to children is jaw-dropping.

This is the sort of stuff that requires truth and reconciliation tribunalsβ€”there’s no crime here, but it demands public accountability.

Ilia Malinin in his post-stake interview owned his performance without hesitation.

"I blew it."

I'm honestly in awe of his grace and humility after that.
