EXCLUSIVE: I Have Ghislaine Maxwell's Security Score, Custody Level, Transfer Code, and Sex Offender Waiver I have reviewed an electronic file that includes some of the information Senator Whitehouse is demanding from the Bureau of Prisons.

NEW: In addition to her sex offender waiver, Ghislaine Maxwell has an β€œout” designation that would allow her to leave the facility for work assignments. Some work assignments for FPC Bryan inmates are at Texas A&M University which is just 6 miles away. My latest: open.substack.com/pub/muellers...

The CBO confirms what we’ve been saying: Trump’s Big Ugly Bill is the largest transfer of wealth from the poor to the rich in U.S. history.

The poorest 10% lose the most. The richest 10%β€”the Mar-a-Lago classβ€”cash in. Everyone else gets crumbs. And this is BEFORE tariffs hit.

Trump Goes on a Charm Offensive as He Woos Holdout Republicans

They're screwing over their constituents in exchange for trinkets.

"He said that Mr. Trump told him he could go to the pro shop and pick out a shirt."

Average Democratic politician: Zohran Mamdani must answer for the Suez Crisis

GOP: this bill is fucking terrible. It’s going to kill people, explode the deficit, and completely kill the renewable energy market in the US.

Also GOP: so anyway, here’s why I’m voting for the bill

Trump is calling a bill that he doesn’t understand the only way to save America, and 50 people who mostly DO understand it - and hate it - just voted for it because the guy who doesn’t know what’s in it told them to.

What a clusterfuck.

Here are the Declaration of Independence’s grievances against King George III. Many apply to Trump. It's uncanny.

Remember how the Declaration of Independence cataloged all the harms King George III had visited upon the American colonists?

Trump has committed many of those same violations in just a few months. @davidcorn.bsky.social & @timothypmurphy.bsky.social lay it out: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Proud to sit beside @demwomencaucus.bsky.social leaders in support of our Leader, Rep. Jeffries, as he continues his marathon speech.

We'll never stop fighting for the America that women and families deserve.

Are you watching Hakeem Jeffries, who, during his β€œGolden Minute” on the House floor, has been trying to convince his Repub colleagues not to vote for the budget reconciliation bill FOR OVER FIVE HOURS? That’s what leadership looks like. I am so proud of what he is doing to help us RESIST.

I was in the CBP facilities in Texas in 2019. People freaked out when I called them concentration camps (they were). The new camps, ex: Alligator Auschwitz, are death camps. Catch up, folks.

Of the nearly 100,000 people ICE has kidnapped since January, 8% had violent criminal convictions. More than 60% had no criminal history at all.

Out of almost 100,000 people.

There is lots of chatter that Jeffries intends to break the record (held by McCarthy) for longest House speech. This means he'd go over 8.5 hours. If that's the case, the minimum end time would be 1:25pm ET -- that 2.5 more hours for us to be loud.

If you're taking direct action, pls share

Hell YES! Y’all are flooding the Capitol Switchboard so hard it’s overwhelmedβ€”this is people power in action! πŸ’₯

Here’s what to do next: Call your reps’ district offices instead. It’s easyβ€”just Google their name + β€œdistrict office number.”

Pass it on. Keep that pressure blazing.

All I want to hear out of Democrats is that we had a deal and no bomb. Then Trump tore it up and he is now putting American lives in danger.

That’s it.

TeleMessage suspends services after hackers claim breach The app was seemingly used by Mike Waltz in last week's cabinet meeting, according to a photograph published by Reuters.

NEW: TeleMessage, the Signal knockoff used by Mike Waltz and potentially other gov officials to archive group chats in plaintext, has suspended all services after it was hacked *at least twice.* @404media.co reported a hack last night; a different hacker also broke in and gave me evidence.

THE PENTAGON BUDGET JUST HIT A TRILLION DOLLARS.

Not a single pundit from either political party said β€œhow are we going to pay for it?!”

Don’t dare tell us we cannot ALL have healthcare, housing, and education.

Alcatraz brings in between $20 million and $34 million a year in tourism revenue for the National Park Service alone.

The cost to renovate Alcatraz could be as high as $350 million to house 300 prisoners.

In 1959, it cost over 3x more to house inmates there vs. another prison...
