In case you were wondering why the DOJ Civil Rights Division is investigating a minor scuffle at Berkeley, it’s because the President of the United States saw hype clips circulated by bad-faith click-farmers in the right-wing marketplace, of course.

Pam Bondi on Feb. 21: Epstein client list is β€œsitting on my desk right now.”
Bondi’s DOJ on July 7: There’s no client list. As for other Epstein files, β€œno further disclosure would be appropriate.”
Trump on Nov. 14: Investigate Bill Clinton over Epstein.
Bondi, also Nov. 14: Coming right up, boss!

Basically saying "if you do crime for me, I won't only pardon you--I'll give you millions of dollars of public money." Truly unprecedented level of corruption

β€œI Lost Everything”: Venezuelans Were Rounded Up in a Dramatic Midnight Raid but Never Charged With a Crime Authorities said Tren de Aragua β€œterrorists” had taken over the building. A ProPublica investigation found little evidence to back up the government’s claims. For the first time, the Venezuelans arres...

"300 agents stormed the building, rappelled from a helicopter, knocked down doors and hurled flash-bang grenades. Agents ziptied and detained many US citizens for hours..."

Prosecutors have not filed a *single* criminal charge against anyone arrested that night:

This is a particularly egregious example of Trump’s obvious tell that he is lying.

1. Make a false statement: β€œI haven’t even thought about it.”

2. Add a drop of truth: β€œI haven’t thought about it in months.”

3. If no one corrects 1 or 2, go bigger: β€œMaybe I haven’t thought about it at all.”

Trump: I had an MRI and the result was outstanding.

Reporter: Was it your brain?

Trump: I have no idea what they analyzed, but whatever they analyzed, they analyzed it well.

Decline, repeatedly & emphatically, others' spoken & unspoken invitations to buy into any story about you that makes you feel like garbage & misrepresents who you are.

Remember: you are not who they say you are. You are who you choose to be, w/ each new moment & decision.

We don't dissociate because we "can't handle" what's happening. We dissociate because our sympathetic nervous system is trying to conserve & prioritize resources, & protect vulnerable "parts" of us.

Dissociation is not a "choice"-- but there is logic & meaning to it.

I was born an underdog. 21 surgeries by the age of 12 for spina bifida. A kid wearing goodwill hand-me-downs. I knew nothing would come easy, but I never doubted my right to the American dream.

Now, I'm running for the U.S. Senate to make sure all Iowans have a shot at theirs.

Senate Republicans don’t want to bring in Jack Smith to testify before the American people to ask him why he subpoenaed limited phone data on 8 co-conspirators to overturn the election, they just want a quick $1 million check from the taxpayers instead.
