This is 45 minutes of time well spent. Scholar of authoritarian leaders and fascism, Ruth Ben-Ghiat. All about the psychology of what's going on with dear leader, his cabinet and how it's a predictable, well-traveled path. Great questions, excellent guest www.youtube.com/watch?v=bOHq...

Absolutely disastrous interview by DNC Chair Ken Martin with a Dem-friendly interviewer. At least 10 minutes of word salad about why the DNC decided to not release the 2024 election autopsy. You'll never hear the word "lessons" the same way again. youtu.be/h8IwrO-03WU?...

Ninth Grader Demi Johnson receives National Geographic award for plan to save Mississippi's oyster reef population. The ninth grader has produced 1,100 oysters that will in turn spawn millions of larvae into the ecosystem, a huge ecological impact

James Comer, the GOP chair of the House Oversight Committee, has decided that people no longer need to be under oath when testifying to the House Oversight Committee investigating the Epstein files. There's also a Maxwell pardon being floated by some GOP members of the Committee.

Why are Republicans trying to pass another Big Ugly Bill 2.0 in the DARK OF NIGHT to fund ICE?   Here’s why ⬇️

‼️ Last night while you were sleeping, Senate Republicans passed a blank check of $70 BILLION dollars to fund ICE (with ZERO reforms added). (1/2)

Still figuring out what’s next. But I will say: To any candidate who wants help setting up a new style of campaign, who needs advice on integrating mutual aid in their operations, who has questions about any weird, fun, unconventional part of our race, I would love to talk. Let me know.

Palate cleanser from the Brit Awards last week, this is absolutely fantastic and a wonderful reminder of the magic of art youtu.be/7fyufPkXLbs?...

Trump’s propaganda czar Brendan Carr and Trump-controlled CBS refused to let Colbert air his interview with James Talarico. You can watch the interview here, and it already has 1.4M views. youtu.be/oiTJ7Pz_59A?...

BALINT: Was the president aware of Secretary Lutnick's ties to Epstein when he chose him to lead the Department of Commerce? BONDI: Chris Malen was a Border Patrol agent---- BALINT: So I'm going to conclude that he did know! BONDI: Shame on you BALINT: This is pathetic! This is not a game

wow -- Bondi throws a fit in response to Nadler's question about how many of Epstein's co-conspirators, if any, she's investigating, aggressively pointing at him and yelling. The hearing then devolves into chaos and Raskin and Bondi start yelling at each other.

I'd like @schumer.senate.gov and @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social to ask DHS what is their grand plan for all these detention centers, how many will be housed there, why? Will citizens end up there? @chrismurphyct.bsky.social @crockett.house.gov @aoc.bsky.social

I spent the morning at the DOJ looking at the unredacted Epstein files. Here are my initial thoughts and what I’ve found, so far.

Full post-Maxwell press conference. Definitely worth watching, powerful youtu.be/pQjI9z1IrSU?...

GOP in 1992: "Clinton will take your guns!" CLINTON: "No, I won't." GOP in 2008: "Obama will take your guns!" OBAMA: "No, I won't." GOP in 2020: "Biden will take your guns!" BIDEN: "No, I won't." GOP in 2024: "Harris will take away your guns!" DONALD TRUMP: "You can't have guns."

Please listen to this interview.

A 23-year-old US citizen was detained by ICE for two days. During the arrest, she was called a racial slur and suffered a concussion.

This is well worth a watch. Heads up, there's profanity in here so keep young ears away from it www.youtube.com/watch?v=wnvt...

This is the voice from the shadows guiding Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries, the two utterly clueless Democratic leaders in Congress.

WTH! Somebody stop this madness!!!!!!

In case you were wondering, Jack Smith's testimony was the *opposite* of "total exoneration."

This pretty much sums it up for me about @kenmartin.bsky.social decision yesterday. Everyone should watch this and wake tf up to who the Democratic party actually is behind the scenes. Heads up, there's some bad language (justified), in this video www.youtube.com/watch?v=egF7...

Congresswoman Yassamin Ansari is sounding the alarm on Trump. She’s stating this shouldn’t be happening here in America. Unfortunately, as I have said so many times - I no longer recognize the United States.

Moments ago, the Epstein Petition passed the Senate. It now goes to the President’s desk. This is just the beginning of justice for the survivors. 🙏

Breaking news: Congress will send a bill to President Trump to force the Justice Department to release files related to Jeffrey Epstein, overcoming a months-long impasse in the House and quickly dispatching with the issue in the Senate.

NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen. Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

“For decades, the media did not cover Epstein. They covered *for* Epstein.” From 2022, from the chapter “Epstein Wasn’t the First”, featuring Landon Thomas Jr.

This was a really good watch, I highly recommend it and there's a Senator Chris Van Hollen tie-in. Katie Phang interviewing Erica Payne, the founder of Patriotic millionaires www.youtube.com/watch?v=1xOx...

Time for @chrismurphyct.bsky.social to replace @schumer.senate.gov

I got back to my office after the vote last night and recorded this. There's no way to sugarcoat what happened. And my fear is that Trump gets stronger, not weaker, because of this acquiescence. I'm angry - like you. But I choose to keep fighting.
