AOC: How can we, as members of congress, Republican or Democrat, vote to enrich ourselves by stealing from the American people? That is what this legislation does. In fact, Senator Graham said he was going to seek well over $1 million from the American people, from this.

I want to also uplift the men who were boys who were sexually abused in a society in which there's zero willingness to acknowledge that yes of course boys & men can be raped, that in fact jokes about such rape, that gives boys no tools, not even the measly tools given girls, to confront that fact.

Donald Trump was President when Epstein died and Donald Trump is on the Epstein list. Let’s talk about it.

Oof. Here's the article that Ruemmler, former Obama White House counsel, dismissed: www.thedailybeast.com/how-did-trum...

I don't think legacy media is reading the room correctly on the Epstein Files. Many of us are asking why they have ignored this story for the last decade? Why did they dismiss all of us who were concerned that Trump might be compromised? And where is their fucking contrition and apology now?

AOC: "It is unconscionable that what we are debating right now is legislation that will give 8 senators over $1 million a piece & we're robbing people of their food assistance & healthcare to pay for it. How can we vote to enrich ourselves by stealing from the American people?"

it's becoming clear the epstein was a manosphere guru for the richest and most influential losers alive

I'm not a big release-the-files person but... RELEASE THE FILES.

I dunno about Trump but I sure hope these emails take down the NYT

Donald Trump needs to resign the presidency.

👀

REPORTER: Why'd it take so long to get sworn in? GRIJALVA: *gestures at Johnson* That would not be my question! MIKE JOHNSON: Look, I really like this lady

God, crossing fingers for someone to ask Trump “So Epstein said he found you disgusting.”

Jeffrey Epstein said Trump was worse than gross. Jeffrey Epstein.

Adelita Grijalva sworn in

It's official: House Speaker Mike Johnson FINALLY swore in Rep. Adelita Grijalva, the Arizona Democrat who promises to be the 218th vote needed to release the Epstein files.

To recap: Jeffrey Epstein offered a NY Times reporter photos taken in Epstein's kitchen of Donald Trump and girls in bikinis *and* implored the NYT reporter to put this information in the public discourse in 2015 What did the NY Times editors know about this offer?

The entire world knows what this refers to The entire world knows what Trump did And so did Epstein, until he mysteriously died in Trump's custody

"This is all no big deal and the president is currently strategizing his response with his aides in the White House Situation Room. No big deal at all."

Trump’s all-in for billionaires with special deals and tax cuts — but wants to shut down the agency that protects Americans from grifters and rip-offs. The CFPB’s returned $21B to cheated Americans. No wonder Trump wants it gone. He’s with the cheaters.

Follow up question: How do you explain to your son that you are paid to make excuses for pedophiles?

Leavitt on Epstein: "This is truly a manufactured hoax by the Democrat Party"

Today's shocking release of emails has me asking whether the shutdown was always just about Republicans protecting Trump from the Epstein Files? And, if so, what does that tell us about the last ten months and the next 3+ years. Subscribe now to Democracy Docket to get my latest. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

Not to detract from the Epstein emails directly implicating Trump in heinous crimes, but there's virtually zero chance that Trump will face real political consequences so long as caving Chuck Schumer is leading Senate Democrats. We know this b/c he squandered the Jan 6 impeachment, which was a layup

Earnest post: there is increasingly direct evidence that Trump participated in child sex trafficking or at least knew about it. He should resign, be impeached and removed from office, and prosecuted. Even if you don’t think that WILL happen it’s important to say publicly that it SHOULD happen.

trump made the prosecutor who gave epstein a pass the secretary of labor!

Tonight I will be in NH to talk about what kind of leadership is necessary at this time of crisis for our nation - and what Democrats in the United States Senate need to do to save our democracy. This moment is urgent and we need to act like it.

Speaker Johnson claimed Republicans were doing “some of the most meaningful work of their careers” during the House’s ridiculous 54 day recess. Of course, that did not include in-person town halls.

Dear MAHA—you’ve been conned by Trump and RFK Jr… food safety laws now decimated by industry lobbyists for their profits and your future diarrhea. Fun fact— food borne illness already surging since EFK Jr slashed CDC tracking system for food borne outbreaks. www.levernews.com/shutdown-dea...

@markharris.bsky.social One of my favorites from tonight. Sending some light your way.

Rick Scott was CEO of a large, for-profit healthcare company called HCA. While Rick Scott was CEO, HCA stole so much money from Medicare they were fined $1.7 Billion.

Smart modern development aid (which used to be funded by USAID) creates small-business owners like Pedro and Ana, who are proud and hardworking capitalists. 🧵: 3 of 4

A recent leak from an ICE detention facility near Houston shows hundreds of detainees packed into a shared room without beds or bathrooms. The footage highlights allegations that the facility's air conditioning is kept on maximum, intentionally subjecting occupants to freezing conditions.

McGovern: You don't even have a health care plan. You been promising one for over a decade and we've never seen it, because it doesn't exist.

McGovern: Seriously, we were worried. We actually started handing out missing person posters. Nobody has seen you for eight weeks. But, hey, I'm glad that you are ok. I'm glad you survived your nice, two-month paid vacation

You have one job

The need is now in communities across America. If you have $5 to spare, I'm matching fifty $5 donations to Benefits in Action, a non-profit that delivers food baskets to low-income seniors in the Denver area: www.coloradogives.org/story/01kg2f

Jeffries: "It's unbelievable that for 7 plus weeks Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva has been denied the ability to serve more than 800,000 people in Arizona because Republicans are running a pedophile protection program."

Neguse: This is one of the most shameful episodes in my view in the modern history of the congress. The decision that Speaker Johnson made to recess the house for 54 days, to send Republican members home on paid vacation for eight weeks, is disgraceful.

If Democrats don’t fight for people, they shouldn’t be surprised when people don’t fight for them.

Gov. Pritzker: “All I can say is that whether it was the loss in the elections a week ago that's led to Donald Trump deciding to pull CBP out or the fact that Greg Bovino is a snowflake…Whatever it is, the people of Chicago have deserved better than having CBP and Greg Bovino in this city.”

During his campaign, Trump (& RFK) promised to rein in the use of dangerous pesticides, but the EPA has loosened oversight and is accelerating pesticide approvals. Notably, the top 4 positions in the new Trump EPA’s chemical safety office are held by former pesticide and chemical industry lobbyists
