Katie Johnson's video just isn't going away.

Epstein
And never let them forget it.

What's happening in Texas (and possibly NY, CA, IN, and elsewhere) around gerrymandering is a reminder: The Democratic Party needs to invest in winning state legislative races *every cycle, all the time.* You never know when a crisis will hit and we'll wish we had more seats or different leaders.

Crime in Washington, D.C., is totally out of control. Local “youths” and gang members, some only 14, 15, and 16-years-old, are randomly attacking, mugging, maiming, and shooting innocent Citizens, at the same time knowing that they will be almost immediately released. They are not afraid of Law Enforcement because they know nothing ever happens to them, but it’s going to happen now! The Law in D.C. must be changed to prosecute these “minors” as adults, and lock them up for a long time, starting at age 14. The most recent victim was beaten mercilessly by local thugs. Washington, D.C., must be safe, clean, and beautiful for all Americans and, importantly, for the World to see. If D.C. doesn’t get its act together, and quickly, we will have no choice but to take Federal control of the City, and run this City how it should be run, and put criminals on notice that they’re not going to get away with it anymore. Perhaps it should have been done a long time ago, then this incredible young man, and so many others, would not have had to go through the horrors of Violent Crime. If this continues, I am going to exert my powers, and FEDERALIZE this City. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

Heckuva time for Trump to declare that 14-year-olds are now adults.

We’ve discovered a literal miracle with almost unlimited potential and it’s being scrapped for *no reason whatsoever*. This isn’t even nihilism, it’s outright worship of death and human suffering.

Every reputable expert I know considers mRNA vaccine technology to be one of the most revolutionary advances in medicine in our lifetimes. Its inventors won the Nobel Prize in 2023. Shutting it down now is pointless self-harm to humanity.

More like Pete Butthead.

It's gonna be super funny seeing Zendaya (a Black woman) and Hunter Schafer (a trans woman) have to stand around and smile next to Sydney Sweeney now that it's known she's a registered Republican who is being publicly defended by the rapist President. 😭

Transphobia is infuriating AND self-defeating. If you're AFAB, you're going to go through menopause...HRT has been a lifesaver for me. It may even stave off dementia!

If HRT is banned for trans folks, think it'll be easy for us cis folk to access it?

A little solidarity just might save YOUR life.

And we're officially at the end of being able to trust the jobs numbers in this country ever again.

It feels like we should be making a bigger deal of “we actually did in fact find a cure for AIDS”

"We have to wait for trans rights. We need to focus on winning first!"

Meanwhile, Republicans:

The White House is going full lockdown mode. From now on, every single word about Epstein must be cleared by them first. Translation: “Shut up. Stop talking.”

But here’s the thing — we won’t.

We’re going to say his name: EPSTEIN.
Loud. Relentless. Every damn day.

I believe it was Kat Tenbarge who said if you start seeing signs of what seems like a smear campaign, it's probably a smear campaign.

Never fell for the Amber Heard one so when it was Blake Lively's turn I caught that shit early. And Pedro Pascal seems to be the next target.

Justice Department will meet with Ghislaine Maxwell, Jeffrey Epstein's imprisoned girlfriend Justice Department officials were set to meet on Thursday with Ghislaine Maxwell, the imprisoned girlfriend of financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, according to a person familiar with...

Trump officials to meet with Maxwell
I'm pretty sure they call this one witness tampering.

I would love if there was a functioning news and communications ecosystem that could tell 340 million Americans that when their child is missing in floodwaters the federal government is first and foremost worried about the “financial oversight” of search and rescue

Politico & Punchbowl report House Republican leadership is shutting down the Rules Committee - which is essential for moving party-line bills on the floor - for the week rather than vote on Democratic amendments on the Epstein files.

Dems have effectively halted Republican legislation in the House:

ok Dems, more of this

Vote Blue Mo Matter Who is always about harm reduction in the general election. As we learned in NYC this year if you show up for the damn primary you’re less likely to have to vote for dipshits in the general.

By letting its agents wear masks and hide their identities, ICE makes it harder for anyone to investigate how many of them have criminal records. This is not by accident.

On April 21, Trump told TIME, "I’ve made 200 deals."

TIME asked, "You’ve made 200 deals?" Trump said, "100%."

If media outlets don't say/write "the Trump admin has repeatedly lied about the trade deals" in every story, they are misleading their readers.

Abolish ICE

This man should never have won a Pulitzer. It is reminiscent of Milli Vanilli winning the Grammy.

If people really find this to be such an easy conclusion, then Congressional authority should be easy to get.

So why don’t they insist on a vote?

They know this isn’t “progressive” resistance. They want to marginalize it as such because on top of this war being ILLEGAL, it’s also deeply unpopular.

Joe Biden and the 2021 Democratic caucus had only one job really and it was purging the entire insurrectionist party from office as quickly as possible by any means necessary.

Khalil has been ordered to be released today. After DOJ tries to ask for a week to review for... reasons

This whole saga is horrible but one single bright spot is very welcome.

#Republicans say they’re targeting just criminals and gang members. Bullsh*t. They’re targeting anyone who “looks illegal” for their 3,000 a day quota, no matter what.

And masked #ProudBoys and #OathKeepers get to decide who that is!
