Likely-historic photo by NBC News of all the Epstein victims asked to raise their hands if they've not yet been asked to meet with the DOJ as Bondi testifies in foreground

Cohen to Bondi: "You tried to investigate Ms. Good's widow and you tried to investigate Mr. Pretti. They were executed like Kristi Noem executed her dog."

by @markleibovich.bsky.social "perhaps the deeper issue is that Democrats have historically focused too much on keeping their many constituent groups as happy as possible, sometimes at the expense of their principal goal: triumphing in elections so they can implement their policies"

by @laurarbelin.bsky.social Notable 2026 endorsements and tons of news from the legislature

by @jenrubin.bsky.social "Congress can easily fix this: Prohibit the use of funds to ship detainees out of state. Cut off funding for any facility detaining anyone without bond unless they have committed a violent crime, are a flight risk, and/or pose a threat to public safety"

by William Kristol “Schumer and some of his colleagues remain strikingly unwilling to go on offense. Why not aggressively make the case for no new funding for ICE and the Border Patrol (while making clear they’re willing to separate out funding for the unproblematic parts of DHS)?”

by @nberlat.bsky.social "a huge blue wave is hard to overcome with voter suppression, in part because of sheer numbers, but also because it’s very difficult to disenfranchise your more impassioned opponents without disenfranchising your own less engaged constituents"

@lyz.bsky.social "The film seemed as though it wanted to make America love her. To convince audiences that Melania, Trump’s willing accessory, should become as beloved as her husband thinks he is. I’m not sure what other point there could be. No one is having fun with this. Nothing is being learned"

by @paulkrugman.substack.com.web.brid.gy “There are people in positions of great power engaged in evil conspiracies against everything that is good & decent. Their conspiracies are far more extensive & damaging than almost anyone imagined. But there are no evil masterminds behind this"

by @lizdye.bsky.social "Matthew Moroun met Monday with Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick to demand that the Republican president confine cross-border trade to his own aging overpass, whose four lanes struggle to handle the boom in trade since its construction almost a century ago"

Oh nooooooo!!! Pam Bondi!!!! You hurt the Dow!!!

by @briantylercohen.bsky.social "What the Epstein files reveal is a relentless pattern of institutional breakdown: no standards, no quality control, no accountability, and a rush to close the case and pat themselves on the back, without doing any of the work required by law"

by Garrison Keillor “I believe in cheerfulness. There are bastards in the world: don’t let them get you down. That is how cruelty and ignorance work, by discouraging the rest of us. There is evil in the world, outright evil, not mere political disagreement, but craven cruel corrupt evil”

Jayapal: To the survivors in the room, if you are willing, please stand. And if you are willing, please raise your hands. If you have still not been able to meet with this DOJ. Please note for the record that every single survivor has raised their hand.
