I believe this exchange shows she's in contempt of Congress. They used to throw the book at 'em. In fascist 'Merica, committee members just take the slap.

Dr. Oz appears to have invited Jeffrey Epstein to a Valentines Day party in 2016, long after Epstein pleaded guilty to soliciting sex with underage girls.

Voting: A Right, Not A Privilege, For Now Republicans want to change that with the SAVE Act

US judges may speak out against 'illegitimate' criticism, ethics panel says U.S. federal judges may advocate for greater security and defend colleagues against "illegitimate" attacks and criticism that risk undermining judicial independence or the rule of law, according to a new judicial ethics opinion released on Thursday.

I was so inspired by Bad Bunny’s performance I’m going to say something in Spanish:

El presidente es un pendejo y un pedófilo.

Donald Trump is nominating actual N*zis and white narcissists to the State Department. This isn’t unprecedented. Sadly, it’s a revival of the centuries of racism that has infected our country. youtube.com/shorts/cosmu...

Steve Bannon, one of Trump's closest and most trusted advisors, announced that ICE could be deployed to polling places to intimidate voters - and Trump's pathetic mouthpiece in the White House backed it up 👇

Trump says climate change doesn’t endanger public health – evidence shows it does, from extreme heat to mosquito-borne illnesses Climate change is making people sicker and more vulnerable to disease. Erasing the federal endangerment finding increases the risk.

Trump’s EPA announced the reversal of a 2009 finding that greenhouse gases endanger public health.

Doctors and epidemiologists say the evidence is clear: climate-linked heat, air pollution, extreme weather and mosquito-borne illness are killing millions worldwide. buff.ly/nhU7CQa

Trump's revokes scientific finding that underpinned US climate change US President Donald Trump revoked a key 2009 scientific finding that has been the basis for all US actions to fight climate change.

Epstein survivor Haley Robson: I’m so tired of having this administration just completely dismiss us. They’re supposed to be the party of, you know, family values and protecting children. And I just feel like if that’s the party you are, it seems like Thomas Massie is the only one showing up for it.

Donald Trump is bragging that he's “very proud” of this economy.

But his first year in office was marked by the weakest job growth in more than a decade outside of Covid.

Trump needs to stop denying reality and start fixing the economic pain he's caused.

Raskin to Bondi: "You're not showing a lot interest in the victims. Whether it's Epstein's human trafficking ring or the homicidal government violence against citizens in Minneapolis, as AG you're siding with the perpetrators and ignoring the victims."

Jayapal: To the survivors in the room, if you are willing, please stand. And if you are willing, please raise your hands. If you have still not been able to meet with this DOJ. Please note for the record that every single survivor has raised their hand.

In just a few moments, I will vote against the so-called SAVE America Act and I am a strong no. That's because this bill would place unnecessary burdens on millions of women and eligible citizens to register to vote and make their voices heard. It is un-American & undermines our democracy.

Krishnamoorthi: When I saw where Ghislaine Maxwell was doing her remote deposition from, it did not look like a prison. It looked like a dining room. It looked like some nice mansion. It just reminded me that she got this sweetheart deal from Trump…

FACT.

The Epstein Files make one thing clear:

Ordinary people get the book thrown at them.

The rich and powerful get a velvet rope and a back exit.

If that’s "justice," the word has lost all meaning.

At the Epstein hearing, Rep. Jayapal asked all the Epstein victims to raise their hand if AG Blondi/DOJ has refused to meet with them.

All of them raised their hands.

Every. Single. One.

SHAME ON THE FASCISTS!
