Merrick Garland could’ve released all of Epstein’s private emails with Trump mentioned in there repeatedly. Everything else too. But the supposed “weaponized Biden DOJ” did nothing with it.

🤣😂😃👏🤣👏🤣😂

‘Trump is the guy in the Access Hollywood tape. He is the man who paid off a porn star to conceal an affair. He is the person accused of and found liable for sexual assault. He is, as Spy Magazine called him decades ago, a “short fingered vulgarian.” newsletters.democracydocket.com/it-was-the-e...

In one 2011 email about Trump, Epstein wrote that “I want you to realize that that dog that hasn’t barked is trump [sic]. [Victim] spent hours at my house with him ,, [sic] he has never once been mentioned.” Maxwell responded: “I have been thinking about that … .” (4/x) www.pbs.org/newshour/pol...

How it's done 👇

Do Senate Democrats really believe that Americans will hurt any less when the government is reopened and Trump and his sycophants can hack away at whatever programs they dislike? Deals with this regime and MAGA Republicans are worthless. [Cartoon by Benjamin Slyngstad]

NEWS: Senate Republicans are threatening to block the extension of Affordable Care Act subsidies—unless Democrats agree to tougher abortion restrictions.

BIG NEWS: Congresswoman-elect Adelita Grijalva will finally be sworn in as a member of Congress tomorrow. She is likely to be the 218th vote on the Epstein discharge petition, which would force a full vote to release the Epstein files in their entirety.

After refusing to convene the U.S. House during the government shutdown, Speaker Mike Johnson is recalling lawmakers back into session — and facing an avalanche of pent-up legislative demands from those who have largely been sidelined from governing. https://to.pbs.org/3LFa4yR

www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a... This pardon CANNOT include those charged under state law, thank God. @azagmayes.bsky.social is more important than ever in holding these felons to account!

There are many different emotions and viewpoints after the Senate vote yesterday. It’s difficult to watch others suffer at the hands of of a narcissistic regime, but it’s also dangerous not to stand strong in these times. One thing is certain, change is needed. substack.com/inbox/post/1...

A legislative package that appears on track to end the longest government shutdown in U.S. history leaves out any clear resolution on the expiring Affordable Care Act tax credits that have made private health insurance less costly for millions of Americans. https://to.pbs.org/3XksAz5

Breaking News: The Senate passed legislation to end the nation’s longest government shutdown, after a splinter group of Democrats joined with Republicans. Follow live updates. nyti.ms/4p1hr1U

There — I fixed the analysis so it is actually accurate to what happened when 8 Senate Dems caved instead of keeping up the righteous fight to deliver lower health care costs for Americans.

Excellent, my friend Wolfie! Also go to their profiles and comment on their posts!

If your senator was one that voted to end the shutdown, it’s not too late to change their minds. Flood them with calls.

@timmiller.bsky.social: "You know what would be a better message than what Angus King is saying out there? What Tim Dillon, the MAGA podcaster is saying: literally going on TV and being like, nobody's life is better [since Trump took office]... and maybe we should focus on helping people."

Senate Democrats walked away empty-handed, and don’t let anyone tell you different. Tim Kaine and the others bought the lie that Republicans would negotiate on extending the ACA subsidies. They won’t. Dems got played, Schumer failed to keep his caucus together, and the American people got nothing.

Love wins again! The Supreme Court just declined to hear a case overturning its landmark decision to legalize same-sex marriage a decade ago. There's more to do. 🗳🌟 Help @FieldTeam6.org register more Democrats. 🌈💙 #Pride #Voterizer #LoveAlwaysWins social.fieldteam6.org/s/qoq0OIDc

Many feel betrayal and frustration, and the feelings are hot right now. I get it. I have my own feelings. 🧵

The president can't pardon cronies facing state charges. He's trying anyway.

"If you’re a Republican official convicted of corruption, your odds of receiving clemency from Trump are roughly 100%... "The latest move seems intended to deliver a political message: Those who assist Trump with his schemes need not worry about legal consequences..." www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

TENNESSEE FARMERS: “The tariffs pass down to the consumer… had to take on 2nd & 3rd jobs… 4 blood pressure pills a day…” Why won’t Republicans fight for them and ask Trump to stop the pain instead of supporting this like @MattForTN Van Epps & @rustygrills & @MarshaBlackburn?

Reporter: Dr Oz said that— Jeffries: Who? Nobody who is serious in this country takes Dr. Oz seriously… I’m not going to respond to any comments from randos like Dr. Oz who is woefully unqualified.

I’ll believe it when I see it happen.

“Is the shutdown over? Not yet. Tonight’s vote was only step 1 of 5. There’s still another 60-vote hurdle, amendments, AND then the House. PRESSURE MATTERS RIGHT NOW—especially on Kaine, Rosen, Hassan, Shaheen. Stay loud.” @elizaorlins.bsky.social

AG Mayes Stops “Let Them Starve” Trump Again In an accelerated time frame, Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes, along with the AG's and leaders of 25 other states. secured a restraining order by Judge Indira Talwani in the United States District Court of Massachusetts, stopping the "Let Them…

Two things: 1. I hope you’re not having a “wonderful” day. I hope you are seething…the red hot kind of seething. 2. I hope you choose to channel that into constructive action; the kind that puts a great deal of distance between you…and thoughts of “what’s the use?!”

The anti-vax movement has been immune to appeals for community health since its inception. That’s why the U.S. has laws around childhood vaccines for school entry. We must do everything we can to prevent further slippage. We’re going to lose our measles elimination status just as Canada has.

Here...they are: 1. Catherine Cortez Masto (D–Nevada) 2. Jacky Rosen (D–Nevada) 3. John Fetterman (D–Pennsylvania) 4. Dick Durbin (D–Illinois) 5. Tim Kaine (D–Virginia) 6. Maggie Hassan (D–New Hampshire) 7. Jeanne Shaheen (D–New Hampshire) 8. Angus King (I–Maine, caucuses with Democrats)

You're Goddamn right we do, @governor.ca.gov. Thank you for saying it. This f*cking l*mp d*ck "fight" for democracy we've been seeing out of these folks is the pinnacle of utter incompetence and lack of will to win.

Trusting Republicans promises is a huge mistake. Thank you Arizona Senators for standing strong and not voting for the cloture.

😞 “Teachers don’t feel supported… Arizona’s schools are underfunded, ranking 48th in the nation in per-student spending… Meanwhile, according to the Common Sense Institute, the state spent an estimated $882 million in taxpayer money for [ESA vouchers]."

For those who were worried about the national debt under Biden. Perhaps being woke isn’t such a bad thing.

This 👇 and the mainstream media is silent. We should all be outraged about the raping of America.

I won’t do some 12 point thread on this because I just repeat myself every year at this point but some notes about this year: Nico Delgado is co-hosting this crusader themed holiday event via his NICO PAC and now works for U.S Rep. Abe Hamadeh and is the youth advisor to the AZ GOP.

www.usatoday.com/story/opinio... Seems Speaker Johnson is trying to set a precedent that Dem lawmakers only get sworn in if the current Speaker decides to or only when Dems are able to force him. This must not stand: every Dem leaning district’s representation is at stake!

Please share the hell out of this. #blackchristmas #nokings

Old age can be tough especially if you’re a failing president.

Do the math 🤬👇
