Medicare for ALL

Healthcare should be guaranteed as a human right #MedicareForAll @salaambhattiva.bsky.social

Bondi was supposed to appear before the Judiciary Committee tomorrow (Tuesday) to answer about Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell.

But Mike Johnson has conveniently kept the House in recess another week to ensure her appearance would be postponed.

The govt isn't the only thing they are shutting down.

Last year they claimed “illegals” were voting, without any evidence.

They used fear mongering to push for voter suppression laws.

Now they claim “illegals” are getting free healthcare, again without any evidence.

So they can make healthcare unaffordable for millions of Americans.

Enough.

“.. On closer inspection, however, it turned out that the image was not a photograph of a real event in Portland, but instead a fabrication created by combining two photographs of scenes that unfolded in South America nearly a decade apart ..”

Just perfect! Very lovely.

Once again, Europe fails to defend its own values. The EU’s & its member states timid response to Georgia’s sham elections emboldens the Kremlin and disheartens the brave Georgians fighting for freedom. Europe needs courage, not complacency. #StandWithGeorgia 🇬🇪 🇪🇺

The guy who literally incited an insurrection is now threatening to use the Insurrection Act to torment Americans who do not support him.

(…because he literally incited an insurrection)

I don't have the bandwidth to make this case explicit. But today, Todd Bessent put Frank Bisignano in charge of IRS, in addition to Social Security.

Bisignano, at Social Security, gave Big Balls access to all our Social Security data.

Now he's in charge of IRS.

Judge Esther Salas, whose son was murdered in 2020, issues a dire warning today:

“Officials from top to bottom” are using rhetoric that puts judges at risk:

It’s important to flood social media and news channels with news about how ICE lies, so that potential jurors see it.

you know this guy had to have made a huge number of enemies for oklahoma republicans to want to take him down (serves him right, he sucks)

Question: what would the consequences be for red states if California and Illinois withdrew from the Governors Association?

C.I.A. Deputy Director Has Replaced Agency’s Top Legal Official With Himself

This is so Bizarre. I’ve had multiple conversations this week with several people about Ellis. He’s the guy that stashed the perfect phone call transcript in a code word classified system. And took over prepub review of Bolton’s book. Now this. 1/ www.nytimes.com/2025/10/06/u...

I have to imagine Trump needs him to sign off on something legally dubious. Maybe it has to do with the new investigation into Bolton, or maybe a probe into the lie about Obama wiretapping the Trump campaign. Or maybe the drug boats. Who knows. But I’ll be watching. END/

Ex-special counsel John Durham undercut case against James Comey in interview with prosecutors: Sources John Durham, who investigated the Russia probe, told prosecutors probing James Comey that had been unable to uncover evidence supporting charges against him, sources say.

Maj. Gen. Steven Lepper (Ret.) & leading military justice expert Gene Fidell:

“Every military leader… must understand that the law is still the law, even if the Court is willing to exempt the president from its consequences.”

Trump says he will “have to take a look at” a pardon for Ghislaine Maxwell after the Supreme Court rejected her appeal today. bsky.app/profile/acyn...

Important to note ICE tends to drop off detainees before 9 a.m. and after 6 p.m., which is why people were protesting at 5 a.m. to begin with. It's not because waking up at 4 a.m. was a convenient time for protesters!

We, the family of Virginia Roberts Giuffre, are grateful to the Supreme Court for denying Ghislaine Maxwell’s appeal to invalidate her conviction. We are committed to ensuring that convicted child sex trafficker Maxwell serves out the entirety of her 20-year sentence in prison, where she belongs. We remain hopeful that the DOJ will realize that she belongs in a maximum security prison, not the country club one she is currently in, the first human trafficker ever to have been afforded that privilege.

The FBI’s Treatment of Comey Takes a Reality TV Turn The made-for-TV Trump administration appears to be gearing up to air its latest episode.

Arrests are sometimes necessary, but DOJ policy prohibits “perp walks,” deliberately parading an arrestee before cameras simply to humiliate them. My thoughts in @BloombergOpinion.

Can a Repentant, Regretful Republican Thrive as a Dem? Geoff Duncan isn’t just running for governor of Georgia as a Democrat. He’s testing how wide the party’s ‘big tent’ can stretch.

"Geoff Duncan, the former Republican lieutenant governor of Georgia, keeps repeating a phrase that most politicians go their whole careers without uttering: 'I was wrong.'" Can he be a Dem?
