Epstein victims lawyer Spencer Kuvin: "We now know from the words of the President himself that Virginia was right all along, and that she was trafficked out of Mar-a-Lago.”

#MartyMakary is a peddler of misinformation. A study came out on Monday saying: "In this nationwide cohort study, no increased risk of 29 adverse events was observed after vaccination with the updated COVID-19 mRNA vaccine [...] in approximately 1 million adults." Trust the data, not this fool. 1/

Virginia Giuffre’s brother: I think we were shocked by it—especially the use of the term “stolen.” Because she’s not an object. She’s a person. Someone who was recruited at Mar-a-Lago—his property… it just kind of makes us wonder… how much he knew

“The president cut your health care so he could build himself a golden ballroom” is a pretty easy message to sell

What an important point by @jkbjournalist.bsky.social back in February and ever more relevant.

"Pam Bondi was Florida's attorney general 2011-2109 ... So questions should be asked about why she didn't take up the [Epstein] case -- or launch a probe -- when she was attorney general in Florida."

it's remarkably bleak that Trump has been accused of sexual misconduct by dozens of women, including an allegation that was adjudicated and in which he was found liable for sexual assault, and yet the American public needs still MORE evidence of his depraved character and unfitness.

Trump has had a lot of cognitive mishaps this week with evidence of his medical issues (bruised hand from an IV and an edematous ankle(s)).

At his age, with the poor state of his brain and cognition, all it takes is a metabolic imbalance or UTI to throw him into a delirium.

Anti-vaccine organization tries to target a journalist's child to either punish her for her reporting on misinformation or cower her into silence.

It won't work. Brandy Zadrozny has more courage than that. It just shows them in a bad light.

Studies show that feeding kids improves learning.
The poorly educated vote MAGA.

So of course, the GOP cut funding for feeding kids. They really are playing the long game, always have been.

Congrats to Lisa Murkowski on voting for a bill that she herself admitted was not ready in hopes that the House would change it. Now it’ll become law. She had the power to stop it, and instead chose to become complicit. That’s her legacy.

I am grieving the barbarism that is going to unfurl from all this. People are going to die. Livelihoods gone. All to feed a corrupt kleptocracy.

I see every day up close how different it is from the first time around. There are no guardrails. A disaster. I’m sorry we have to live through this.

Warnock: If I'm honest, there are days when I have to ask people of my faith tradition as a Christian, are we reading the same book? 

The book I know says I was hungry and you fed me. I was sick, I was in prison and you visited me, I was a stranger and you welcomed me….

Not just excess, it’s a system built to keep people hungry so the rich can keep feasting. But the masses are waking up.

This is actually footage from the no kings protest. Protests are wonderful, I hate the Iran strike too, but let’s not give the other side reason to get mad at us with inaccurate data.

Tariffs.
Stock market down.
Medicaid slashed
Secret police throwing anyone who looks Latino in unmarked vans.
National guard and marines deployed in LA.
No end to the wars in Gaza or Ukraine
Bombing Iran

This is the worst first six months of any presidential term in my lifetime.

The President's disastrous decision to bomb Iran without authorization is a grave violation of the Constitution and Congressional War Powers.
He has impulsively risked launching a war that may ensnare us for generations.
It is absolutely and clearly grounds for impeachment.

Donald Trump illegally took military action against Iran—without congressional authorization—risking dragging us into another endless war.

I am calling for an immediate emergency session of Congress to vote on the War Powers Resolution.

This is not about the merits of Iran’s nuclear program. No president has the authority to bomb another country that does not pose an imminent threat to the US without the approval of Congress. This is an unambiguous impeachable offense.
