We’ve got to keep the Epstein victims and survivors centered while we pursue transparency and accountability. Their stories must be told.

The video of a United States Senator joining the violent removal of U.S. marine from a hearing and hideously breaking his arm in a door is an example of what has been unleashed in this country. They’re tapping in to get in on the violence. And then he bragged about it on X later.

Free and fair elections are the cornerstone of our democracy. But right now, they’re under attack. Several Republican-controlled states have redrawn their congressional maps to give themselves an unfair advantage in the midterm elections.

I wonder how many were raped by ICE agents

The Republican-led House Oversight Committee voted to subpoena US Attorney General Pam Bondi for testimony about her role in the release of the Jeffrey Epstein files as part of the committee’s probe into the late convicted sex offender.

An ICE detainee in Arizona has died of a TOOTH INFECTION after it went untreated for weeks, a local official says. He was a Haitian asylum seeker imprisoned in Florence, Arizona. @emilybregel.bsky.social reports. tucson.com/news/local/b...

This bill would let Florida officials label organizations and individuals "domestic terrorists" through a "guilt by designation" process that could be weaponized against those criticizing the government. Florida state senators must protect our constitutional rights and reject this dangerous bill.

NOEM: I would disagree with the judge CROCKETT: I'm sure you would, but can you tell me whether or not you have a law degree? NOEM: A what? CROCKETT: A law degree NOEM: No I do no- CROCKETT: Okay

Release the Epstein Files

Got it. There's plenty of funding to send troops into harm’s way, but not to take care of their health afterwards. This is shameful.

Unfuckingbelievable

NEW: Mesa County District Attorney Dan Rubenstein (R) who prosecuted Tina Peters says Gov Jared Polis (D) giving Peters clemency "would be a gross injustice." Rubenstein points out that separate case cited by Polis to justify clemency misses the purpose of sentencing ranges.

LIEU: Did Amalia commit a crime? NOEM: She did not. She's with her family LIEU: The reason she's with her family is because she almost died in ICE detention until folks brought a lawsuit forcing her release

Randall on Mississippi: "One of the perpetrators of that fraud? Former NFL quarterback Brett Favre, who received $1.1m from the govt for speeches he never made. Congressional Republicans' response was to invite Favre to testify about how we should strengthen oversight of federal welfare programs."

LIEU: Did Liam Ramos commit a crime? NOEM: He did not commit a crime. His father abandoned him LIEU: I believe you're not telling the truth. School officials said there were people saying they could take care of Liam, and a federal judge rejected your claims

NANCY MACE: What is a woman? Have you learned that lesson? WALZ: I'm the governor of Minnesota. I'm not here to be a prop for your obsession.

Minnesota is mourning the loss of Sergeant First Class Nicole M. Amor of White Bear Lake who was killed in Kuwait on Sunday. She answered the call to serve and gave her life in service to our state and nation. Minnesotans are wrapping our arms around her loved ones.

I voted in Dallas County today. The texas.gov site wouldn't tell me where to go, so I went to where I voted in the '24 presidential election. They said I was at the wrong place, and gave me the address I needed to go to. That place then informed me I had to go somewhere else.

There's been a lot of debate within the Democratic establishment about what rhetoric to use via ICE. Well, an incumbent doesn't lose by 48 percentage points very often—and her vote on collaborating with ICE was the defining issue here.

Excellent!

They cut Meals on Wheels for seniors, doctors for the VA, and food for American children - but send billions of taxpayer dollars to the Middle East for an unnecessary war of choice.

BREAKING: The Texas Secretary of State DID NOT UPDATE the precinct maps on their website last December. MY GOD @msnowreports.bsky.social

WATCH — @senpeterwelch walks through a no-bid $143,000,000 contract that went to @KristiNoem’s spokeswoman Tricia McLaughlin’s husband’s company that had just been formed. She should be impeached for this outrageous scandal alone. Yet it’s barely a blip in this corrupt regime.

WAR CRIMES DON'T HIDE SEX CRIMES! THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER!!

They claim to have been planning this for months, to allegedly keep Americans safe, but had no plan to evacuate any Americans from the region because it happened too quickly. Weird.

We need to pass a House rule or law that requires them to work a certain number of days to get paid. Since Mike Johnson took over these people hardly ever work. When they finally come back after weeks off they work 2 days and he sends them home for 2 more weeks. It’s ridiculous.

While the McDonald’s CEO gets roasted for his awkward burger taste test... McDonald’s is among the top employers of workers who rely on food stamps. And McDonald's CEO recently raked in $18.2M — over 1,000x the company's median employee pay. That should leave a bad taste in your mouth.

DURBIN: How does taking dad from child dying of cancer qualify as a violent crime? NOEM: I don't know what you're speaking of D: Ruben Torres 2 weeks ago buried his daughter. When he was arrested at Home Depot, he said, 'Please. My daughter is dying.' They deported him. Was he a violent criminal?

Rubio Today: It’s false to say I said the U.S. had to attack because Israel was going to attack. That’s not what I said. Rubio Yesterday: We knew Israel was going to strike Iran, and that would trigger attacks on U.S. forces. If we didn’t act first, Americans would suffer higher casualties.

Seems like the media should at least express some curiosity about this. open.substack.com/pub/jonathan...

I am not going to vote to cut a blank check for ICE and let them detain, brutalize, shoot, or kill more American citizens just because Donald Trump started an unconstitutional war that no one asked for.

For those curious: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mojtaba...

OMFG it's the Keystone Cops

Americans in danger all over, CIA station hit — as the Trump regime keeps changing their story. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

Today in Iran…

KLOBUCHAR: Alex Pretti's parents said what you said was one of the most hurtful things they could imagine. Do you want to say anything to Alex's parents? NOEM: I did not call him a 'domestic terrorist.' I said it 'appeared to be an incident of' KLOBUCHAR: I think the parents saw it for what it was

SCHIFF: Don't you think in aftermath of a shooting you should provide only vetted information? How will you gain the trust of people if you're pushing out false info about the shootings of American citizens? NOEM: I work every day to get out factual information SCHIFF: Well, you didn't that day

Our nation is again at war, not because we had to but because the president recklessly chose to. Now we must recognize who pays the price: not the president and his wealthy allies, but service members and ordinary Americans.

JUST NOW: At news conference, Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) about Kristi Noem: "Let me just say about Kristi Noem. She is a disgraceful, despicable and deplorable human being. Why is she still around??"

🤥 @KristiNoem today: “I didn’t call Alex Pretti a domestic terrorist.” FLASHBACK: she sure did 👇🏽

Marc Elias: "Today was an important day for the opposition movement. The law firms that stood up against Donald Trump threats won. Those that capitulated and collaborated with Trump will need to explain to future generations why, when democracy was at stake, they were such cowards"

This is what happens when oligarchs control the *news*

Chris Murphy: "It's just so disgusting to listen to the president be waxing poetically about the drapes he's buying while there are six Americans who are dead. There are six families who are about to bury their children because of a war of choice that no one in this country wanted, an illegal war."

The Republicans seem to be prepping an argument that any domestic terror attacks in the aftermath of their Iran attacks will be the fault of Democrats for shutting down DHS funding, so I'd like to remind everyone of this appointment:

Just a random reminder that over 50 members of Congress collectively own millions of dollars in defense contractor stocks. They stand to personally profit from wars that enrich these contractors. Make no mistake, this is legalized corruption. Watch how they vote this week.

I can’t stand all this winning.

This is insane. Trying to convince these young people to embrace becoming cannon fodder. www.rawstory.com/military-267...
