Massie implores GOP colleagues to help force vote to release Epstein files The Kentucky Republican is defending his approach as his leadership tries to undermine the effort.

GOP Rep. Thomas Massie is publicly pleading with his Republican colleagues to break rank with House GOP leaders and join his crusade to force a vote on the release of the Jeffrey Epstein files.

Massie said he needed just two more members on his side of the aisle to sign onto the discharge petition.

NASHVILLE Democrat Rep. @votebo.bsky.social Mitchell officially announces his bid to replace retiring Rep. “Extreme” Mark Green (R) in a special TN-7 election coming soon…

The New York mayoral is the funniest thing because the options are basically
- A lefty guy
- A corrupt mayor
- A sex pest former Governor
- A Republican

And yet people are acting like this is a hard choice

Remember Trump's telling pause when he was asked if he would declassify the Epstein files?

YouTube video by Katie Phang PISSED OFF Conway BLASTS Trump for TAUNTING COURTS

@gtconway.bsky.social is 100% right: give no quarter to Trump. He & his cronies need to be called out on each and every wrongdoing.

George and I talk about litigating “everything to the hilt” and on how the people have to pursue justice in this Trump Regime.

Meanwhile on the Republican side, Rep. Jody Barrett has announced his bid for the open TN-7 seat

(as Mark Green yet again puts greed over his constituents and steps down)

What a coincidence that just recently Elon Musk confidently announced that Trump Is in the Epstein files.

And now DOJ and FBI say that there “is no list” and no "further disclosure" of Epstein-related material "would be appropriate or warranted."

I don't know who needs to hear this, but whenever you fire HUNDREDS of people from a life-saving service, you can't expect it to function as well.

And whoever fires all those people without a plan is a fucking moron. Stop saying "nobody could've seen this coming," when WE ALL FUCKING WARNED YOU.

The people who lost children and other loved ones in the Texas floods are owed honest answers from officials. They should be told why flash flood warnings issued hours earlier were not conveyed to people in the path of the water. They don’t need more prayers from politicians. They need answers.

So Republicans have set up Trump’s Trillions Transfer to cuts taxes for the rich NOW, while pushing off the deeply unpopular health care cuts, etc. for regular Americans to.. after the midterms.

Diabolical.

Texas Man Born to U.S. Soldier on U.S. Army Base Abroad Deported He has no citizenship to any country, despite SCOTUS case

What? Wasn’t Sen Ted Cruz born abroad too? Should we deport him?

If even a fraction of what this letter says is true, Emil Bove should be prosecuted for criminal contempt and disbarred.

In no way should he be confirmed to the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit.

NOT A SINGLE DEMOCRATIC SENATOR should confirm Emil Bove for the 3d Circuit Court of Appeals.

The best way to reduce the cost of Medicaid is to name and shame big employers that pay their full time employees so little, they qualify for Medicaid

The Supreme Court issued a stay, effectively ruling, for now, that the Constitution no longer applies, at least not to immigrants. Fast-track deportations with no opportunity for judicial review violate the fundamental principle of due process, especially for people already on U.S. soil.

Brownshirt ICE rolled up to my local Home Depot today and got the F-off treatment.

Shoutout to this woman because this is exactly how it’s done. No badge, face covered = F*ck all the way off.

Trump started a war. Trump started a war. Trump started a war. Trump started a war. Trump started a war. Trump started a war. Trump started a war. Trump started a war. Trump started a war. Trump started a war. Trump started a war. Trump started a war. Trump started a war. Trump started a war.

You know, we used to study Dr Kings civil disobedience as something good. It was

Kristi Noem pictured in various law enforcement and military-style gear, including tactical vests, rifles, and uniforms—alongside police, ICE, military, and fire personnel.

Who else nearly fell out of the seat when you heard Cosplay Kristi accuse Sen. Padilla of “political theater”?

By now, we've all seen the video of Senator Alex Padilla (D-CA) being forcibly removed and handcuffed for asking a question during Kristi Noem's press conference.

But what Noem said just moments before the video was taken is "classic authoritarian red-baiting," points out @davidcorn.bsky.social.
