House Dems predict major GOP support on bill to release Epstein files Confidence is growing after the release of new damning emails for Trump.

Been sayin'. "They'll vote yes to get out ahead of what's coming." (David Shuster last week). Over 1000 FBI and DOJ analysts had their eyes on the unsecure files during the review this past March. That's a lot of potential leaks. www.politico.com/live-updates...

The Kremlin disguised a nearly $100 mn payment to Trump in the form of a brokered real estate deal... and both Jeffrey Epstein and William Pulte were involved in the deal. That's very interesting.

This isn’t even the stuff they’re trying to actually stop from getting out.

POLITICO: “.. GOP leadership aides believe dozens of Republicans will vote it, possibly 100 or more, according to five people granted anonymity to speak candidly.”

One reason you hold a meeting to pressure/cajole/threaten Boebert in the Situation Room is so she can't record it.

Discharge Petition No. 9, Bill Number: H.Res. 581, 119th Congress SPONSOR: Thomas Massie DESCRIPTION: Pursuant to clause 2 of rule XV, I, Thomas Massie, move to discharge the Committee on Rules from the consideration of the resolution entitled, a resolution providi...

BREAKING: Rep. Adelita Grijalva (D-AZ) just signed the discharge petition to force a vote on making the DOJ release all of its Jeffrey Epstein files.

She was the 218th signature, which means the petition is now frozen and no member can remove their name.

Escape velocity achieved.

1/2 🧵Republicans in Congress are one BIG step closer to handing Donald Trump...his ass.

218 votes...signals that at least some Republicans are calculating that staying tied to him on this issue...is now more dangerous...than distancing themselves.

Folks, we were looking for the wrong pee tape

Rep. Lauren Boebert says that there is “NO WAY” she will take her name off the Epstein files discharge petition.

President Trump and his administration are pressuring her to remove her name.

The Young Voters and Minorities Who Backed Trump in 2024 Hate Him Now Political analyst Michael Podhorzer discusses why the Republican candidates in New Jersey and Virginia came nowhere near matching Trump’s 2024 support among voters of color and young voters.

The idea that Trump built a durable, multiracial working-class coalition was always overstated. trib.al/dLMgsJZ

Exit polls from New Jersey and Virginia show the GOP lost overwhelmingly among all three voting blocs: voters under age 30, Black voters, and Latinos.

“America is sleepwalking into authoritarianism, and if there’s anybody out there that is a member of a labor union that is safe and doesn’t think this applies to you, he’s coming for you. They’re coming for you.”

Trump's fight with Laura Ingraham over H1-B should be read in this context. MAGA remains fully committed to removing all undocumented and provisionally present immigrants as a demographic reengineering project. This gives Dems a way to split the MAGA coalition.

This has gotten lost: Abigail Spanberger won big after vowing to RESCIND Glenn Youngkin's executive order directing local cooperation with ICE and voting AGAINST the anti-immigrant Laken Riley Act. Yet she gained bigly with working class.

New piece laying this out:

Jamie Raskin expects the files were tampered with by DOJ in the time since.

Today DOJ will have to reinsert their deleted emails between epstein and trump to match the records release by Epsteins estate.

One email proves Trump committed the crime of not reporting to law enforcement his knowlege.

WATCH — @repstevenhorsford.bsky.social : “My amendment would redirect that $40 BILLION from Argentina to fund the ACA subsidies for two years… a far better use of taxpayer dollars.”

Why do we have money for Argentina while our own people lose their health care? How does this make us great?

Leadville right now! Unreal!

Trump, 79, Fooled Into Hairbrained Mortgage Scheme at His Golf Club The White House is reportedly furious with the FHFA director for pitching it.

Joe Biden: I've always said our nation has a sacred obligation: to prepare those we send into harm's way, to support their loved ones when they are gone, and to provide for them and their families when they come home. To honor that call, when I was President one of my proudest accomplishments was signing the PACT Act - the most significant expansion of care and benefits for veterans exposed to toxic substances. This Veterans Day, we honor all the brave men and women who answered the call to serve and defend. Our nation is stronger and our democracy more secure because of their service and sacrifice.

Read @isabelaalhadeff.bsky.social's heartbreaking look at the fear and chaos the Trump administration has wrought onto the lives of young people brought to the United States.

"A real betrayal."

Two months ago we were paying all federal workers, SNAP benefits were fully funded, and people could afford their health insurance premiums but a small group of Democratic senators have Stockholm Syndrome and are telling us we have to Sophie’s choice one or two of these things.
