Epstein survivor Dani Bensky on meeting with Blanche:   "Todd Blanche treated the meeting as a mere 'check-the-box' exercise intended to secure votes for his confirmation. He danced around his wording, repeatedly interrupted us and could not commit to anything that would demonstrate good faith."

I’d prefer to watch the Milli Vanilli concert

Before the president gets on television tonight to peddle lies and conspiracy theories, here is what you need to know: The 2020 election was not stolen. We won, and he lost.

Statement from Annie Farmer on meeting with Todd Blanche: "After meeting with Todd Blanche, I feel even more confident in urging senators to vote against his confirmation as the United States' Attorney General. "I found him abrasive, condescending, and intentionally noncommittal to survivors."

E. Jean Carroll spent nearly a decade in court fighting one of the most powerful men in the world. She fought with tenacity and grace — and she won. She is one of my personal heroes. We all owe her a debt of gratitude.

SEN. @ossoff.senate.gov: “Here’s what’s gonna happen tonight — the world’s most famous sore loser will deliver a primetime presidential sour grapes 🍇 address to pursue his 6yo grievances about the 2020 election while his war spirals out of control and the cost of living continues to rise.”

The payment is an admission of guilt. This should be the biggest news on every platform.

Epstein survivor: I found my name in two places in the first Epstein Files release. In the next release, the redactions were far worse. The Files displayed my name, phone number, and more. These documents contain disturbing yet incomplete accounts of my abuse. It was humiliating.

The felons dumb stupid followers......

@ejeancarroll.bsky.social: "I don't understand how people can be afraid of a fat elderly man who wears apricot makeup, his hair done up like Tippi Hedren in The Birds and sits in a court room and moans and groans and complains”

Epstein survivor: We urge Senators Tillis and Cornyn to vote no on Todd Blanche’s nomination.

Exactly ‼️

Isn't it weird that this week a currently sitting president had to pay a woman MILLIONS of dollars for *raping* (and defaming) her—and the media has forgotten all about it? There was a time that this would have been the ONLY story—until the rapist was driving from office.

Wasn’t Lindsey Graham against Putin and made it very public. Just saying.

As Americans struggle with the cost of rent or mortgage payments, the president has a message for you: buzz off. He’s not interested. He made two billion off the presidency last year, and he couldn't care less about the hardships of ordinary people.

Three witnesses were in the van with Lorenzo Salgado Araujo Per their attorney: no ramming, no danger to agents & no reasonable basis to open fire Unreasonable force opens these agents to liability This is becoming another national outrage & it should be👇 -TN

This should horrify all of us! Women in ICE detention underwent invasive medical procedures without informed consent. Senator Jon Ossoff’s bipartisan investigation called the findings “nightmarish & disgraceful” Everyone deserves dignity, bodily autonomy & human rights! #SheShed #ViVaHerAlliance

The Trump administration is losing in court over and over and over again. But that doesn’t spell the end of the story, Marc Elias says. “For every time we beat them in court, they can use other tactics.” Stay vigilant. Stay in the know: https://bit.ly/4qskS3m

Mitch McConnell hasn’t been seen or heard from in 25 days in the hospital. Yet he still has a job, still getting paid, and getting unlimited world class healthcare. The man who voted against a living wage, against universal healthcare, and against guaranteed paid leave, is now getting all three.

You need to listen/follow Devon she is 31yo has more knowledge than most senators. She will go places

Republicans enthusiastically made a serial adulterer, a serial sexual abuser of women, a rapist, and very likely a pedophile a United States President. Fuck off.

ACLU Executive Director Anthony D. Romero on Birthright Citizenship ruling: It was incredibly gratifying sitting in the court and watching the president fidget because he was literally six feet right in front of me. I would have loved to have been six feet behind him when the decision came down.

🚨BREAKING: California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) will introduce new legislation making ballot seizure before they are counted and certified by a state or county official a felony. In a July 4 recorded speech, Newsom was not shy about who the law targets. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

ALERT: Gov. Andy Beshear (D-KY) asks Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) to provide a health update to him and to all Kentuckians

NEW: Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton appears to have used an address where he did not live while voting in six elections in the past two years — despite warning voters that “it is illegal to misrepresent your residence on election records.” with @texastribune.org

NEW: Ten members of Congress have warned the secretary of defense that the Trump administration’s gutting of a program focused on shielding noncombatants puts service members in peril, erodes the military’s moral standing and may violate federal law.

Just sayin’.

"In every stage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A Prince, whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people."

They are arresting U.S. Air Force Officers for free speech and U.S. Olympians for curiosity—but not rich men for raping children with Jeffrey Epstein.

Clarence Thomas says the 14th Amendment should be read narrowly because it was written for formerly enslaved people. By that logic, the 2nd Amendment was written for muskets, not AR-15s. Funny how that kind of originalism only shows up when it's convenient.

Marco Rubio is against birthright citizenship. But Marco Rubio *is* a birthright citizen. Ted Cruz is against birthright citizenship. But Ted Cruz was born in Canada. He only got US citizenship by a birthright citizenship law because of his US mother. They are both shameless hypocrites.

This is disgusting as usual. More of the same partisan political speeches to active duty troops following the standard practice of Trump, Vance and Hegseth to violate a fundamental principle of the Republic. It’s also gross that more Republican vets don’t call this out. bsky.app/profile/atru...

The Atlantic: After adding gold to the Oval Office, knocking down the East Wing for his ballroom & paving over the rose garden, Trump has turned his attention to a new landing pad for his Marine One helicopter. But free school lunch is something the country can't afford. #ProudBlue #Pinks #SheShed

The curtain around the Kennedy Center is the felon/rapist/pedophile’s OZ’s curtain thinking we can’t see but only attracts more attention.
