Why the Epstein Coverup Matters In free societies, government coverups are difficult. In authoritarian ones, they’re routine.

"Coverups are difficult in free societies. They are routine for authoritarian governments. The Epstein coverup will be an indicator of how far we are down the road to authoritarianism. The success of such a coverup would take us much further down that road."

I sure would love to see all the democrats in Congress on the Capitol steps calling for impeachment in one voice.

I know we can't do it without republican votes, but it sure would be nice to see a loud, unified message.

I'll be calling my reps today and asking them to please do this. Join me.

to be clear-
this is STEALING from every american
&
will make our fight to mitigate the climate crisis much more horrendous for all life on earth

Congress didn’t just lose its power it gave it away. On war, trade, and policy, lawmakers have willingly let the executive branch rule unchecked.

'There Is No Intel': Trump's Attacks on Iran Were Based on Vibes, Sources Say Trump’s decision to strike three Iranian nuclear facilities was not based on new intelligence, administration officials say.

Trump’s attacks on Iran were based on vibes, not new intel, two administration officials tell Rolling Stone. “There is no intel,” one of the sources says. “The intelligence assessments have not really changed”

There'll never be a better mantra for the Trump regime

"Forget About Intelligence"

Host: Are you saying the US did not see intelligence that the Supreme Leader had ordered weaponization?

Rubio: That’s irrelevant

Host: No, that's a key point

Rubio: No it’s not… Forget about intelligence

The American people were lied to about Vietnam, with tragic consequences.

The American people were lied to about Iraq, with tragic consequences.

The American people are being lied to again today. We cannot allow history to repeat itself.

My law firm is currently litigating 55 voting and election cases in 24 states. Two points:

This is a very large caseload for this point in the election cycle.

It is more evenly spread across states than usual which reflects the creep of voter suppression laws into even safe GOP states.

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem is under scrutiny for a $50M Gulfstream jet request, funded by the Coast Guard's budget. It's a misuse of taxpayer money and prioritizes luxury over essential services.#AdminOfGrift

Phang: And you’ve got to appreciate that the congresswoman was able to say, “Look, this ain’t Fox News, buddy. This is Congress.” So if you’re going to be here and you’re going to try to make an allegation somewhere publicly, you better be able to back it up.

Buttigieg: Like I love A1 steak sauce, but A1 steak sauce is not one of the most important things confronting humanity right now. Artificial intelligence is. And somebody who doesn't understand that probably should not be leading an important federal agency.

Don’t Look at Stock Markets. Look at the Ports. A drop in maritime traffic suggests that the worst is yet to come.

I'm a boatnerd. When 2008 happened, Great Lakes shipping all but ceased. I remember thinking, watch the boats. That'll tell you where we are.

Well, here we are. Once again, shipping has all but creased.

RFK Jr. is wrong about autism His lies endanger neurodivergent people — and everyone else.

"Kennedy’s disgust with and devaluation of autistic people fits neatly into a eugenic logic that views health as virtue, and sees illness, or difference, as a kind of moral lapse which should be subject to punishment or censure."

They had lawyers, trials, most were given pretrial release, allowed to testify in their own defense, got discovery, could call witnesses, could cross-examine witnesses, could present mitigation at sentencing, and had a right to appeal.
