#ICYMI: Kristi Noem, while governor of South Dakota, supplemented her roughly $130,000 salary by secretly accepting $80,000 donated to a political nonprofit she was affiliated with, records show.

Not only will we continue to demand the release of the unredacted (other than that of the victims), Epstein files, we demand the victims be heard!
We don't care what a convicted sex trafficker has to say. The only voices that matter are those of the victims.

Fox News Host Jeanine Pirro Gets Ticket for Speeding at 119 M.P.H. (Published 2017)

I've spent more time working in juvenile courts than Jeanine Pirro and can tell you there's *no relationship* between her description of the juvenile justice system and the reality those of us who aren't cultists live in.

Is she a lush? Yes.

A criminal justice professional? No.

North Dakota’s mineral owners say companies are unfairly taking a large share of their royalty income, and feel betrayed by their public officials, who have refused to help even as other states take action.

Oil and gas companies want disputes with to be decided by the courts, not state lawmakers.

Bill Webster was a true American public servant. He gave his life for others, and making America a better place. Nice to see the NYT give him the front page and above the fold today. RIP, Bill.

His con was to convince them he would destroy only the enemy.

But that's not coming true. His destruction isn't a carefully wielded scalpel.

He's destroyed everything & will continue to harm his own supporters until their self-preservation kicks in.

Until they realize they've sacrificed too much.

Three years ago today, our Democratic Majority delivered the PACT Act—the largest expansion of VA health and benefits in decades.

This landmark law ensures all Veterans exposed to burn pits and toxins get the care and benefits they earned and deserve.

While Mark is correct, this is also a massive problem in the short term because the GOP is going to use crypto to funnel enormous sums of corrupt money to tilt elections into their favor

Why Israel must hold itself to account And how it can be made to do so

Hamas’s crimes do not excuse Israel’s actions in Gaza. The Jewish state is a democracy. Its leaders should hold themselves to higher standards than terrorists

Why Israel must hold itself to account And how it can be made to do so

Israel’s war no longer has a strategy and fighting on is no longer just. If it is to remain a liberal democracy, it must hold itself to account for the crimes committed in Gaza

Coordination between White House and DOJ on Epstein scandal violates post-Watergate norms to protect independence and public trust in federal prosecution. I'll discuss with @AliVelshi at 11 am ET on @MSNBC.

Trump has assisted Russia in regrouping, prolonging the war and rearming.

It’s insane.

I filed a FOIA like this days ago. My assumption is that others were doing the same thing. The more the merrier.
