Following the release of the Epstein Files:

How will we hold accountable those that are in powerful positions and were either complicit or participated in the crime?

Trump Has a Recipe for War and Corruption, Not Peace Who would benefit from the White House’s 28-point proposal for Ukraine?

This is not a peace plan. It is a proposal that weakens Ukraine and divides America from Europe, preparing the way for a larger war in the future. In the meantime, it benefits unnamed Russian and American investors, at the expense of everyone else.

Slotkin: I’m not going to be dissuaded from standing up for the Constitution just because he threatens us. I’m not going to let him intimidate us out of speaking our minds.

The FBI spied on a Signal group chat of immigration activists, records reveal Exclusive: Agency accessed private conversations of New York ‘courtwatch’ group that was observing public hearings

“The FBI gained access to conversations in a ‘courtwatch’ Signal group that helps coordinate volunteer activists who monitor public proceedings at three New York federal immigration courts. The US government has repeatedly been accused of violating immigrants’ due process rights at those courts.”

Just to review, in the last week the President of the United States:

- Refused to condemn the rise of Neo-Nazis in his party
- Tried to block the release of further evidence he sexually abused children
- Encouraged the execution of Congressional Democrats

Those are just factual statements.

“Prohibited words and concepts: Equity, diversity, & inclusion; anti-racism; Bias; Critical race theory; implicit bias; oppression; intersectionality; prohibited discriminatory practices; racial privilege; promoting stereotypes based on personal identity characteristics.”

This week, I withdrew from a speaking engagement at a public university because they sent me a list of prohibited “words & concepts.” I will not humor this censorship. It does a disservice to the stories I’m discussing & the audience, who deserve unfettered access to information & conversation.

The did vote on counts 2 and 3 in the ORIGINAL 3 count indictment. But the U.S. Attorney drafted a 2nd , two count indictment. That 2nd indictment was NOT presented to the GJ (this is the problem) but was presented to the Court.

GOP Rep. Salazar: "Talking about Charlotte -- 200 people in 48 hours were arrested. 70% of them did not have a criminal record according to DHS. That's a mistake ... do not touch the lady who has been here for 10, 20 years contributing to the economy ... that is why those people are protesting"

Clay Higgins built his brand on law and order. He pals around with a man guilty of incest. A Mother Jones investigation has revealed troubling connections between the Louisiana Republican congressman and fellow former cops accused of severe misconduct.

MoJo reported on Higgins last year: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Remember Jamal Khashoggi.

Life is becoming more expensive for millions of Americans, and we know why: Republicans care more about their billionaire allies than the well-being of the working class.

“My sister is not a political tool for you to use. These survivors are not political tools for you to use. These are real stories, real trauma. And it's time for you to stop just talking about it and act. Vote yes.”

Dear ICE: They don't let you wear a mask in your mug shot.

Meanwhile, the seven largest health insurance companies made a combined $71B in profits in 2024.

It’s far past time for Medicare for All. Here’s what you need to know.

Let’s be clear: The DOJ has already been subpoenaed. They’re legally obligated to release the full Epstein files—and they’re still dragging their feet.

It’s a shame we’ve even gotten to the point of needing a discharge petition.

Men, in particular young men, swung to the Dems in this year's election.

The notion that most men are bigots and many had at least a bit of a Nazi phase at one point so Democrats have to be more welcoming to that stuff lest they lose elections forever was always a bad read on 2024, and now worse.
