Although Trump has the broad power to grant a pardon or commutation to Maxwell, Raskin’s resolution would “put House members on record opposing a pardon for Maxwell, adding pressure to the White House if the chamber votes overwhelming in favor” www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Are they ready to save it not privately—

This is the future of the party. House Oversight Dems set up a central database for the public record of possible misconduct incidents with ICE as they occur. You can find it here: oversightdemocrats.house.gov/immigration-... Thank you @crockett.house.gov @robertgarcia.house.gov among the rest.

Finding myself really grateful for having the capacity to feel gratitude. For being alive... being able to witness this moment in history of evolution and awakening consciousness... seeing love everywhere despite its contrast in leadership right now. I hope you all have a magical week.

JUST IN: Judge Chutkan orders expedited processing of a FOIA request for files related to DOJ's handling of the Epstein files. ecf.dcd.uscourts.gov/cgi-bin/show...

Mark Kelly didn’t break the law. Release the Epstein files with no redactions other than the victims.

SEN. KELLY : “They informed me of this in a tweet because this is not about the law. This is about the media cycle, and intimidation… We basically repeated the uniform code of military justice, and they're saying that's in violation of it. It's absurd. Comical.”

Read this. A real American.

We should all be in the streets. Every day.

I keep thinking about how much of what we interface with as "Trump" online is actually him vs being that of Stephen Miller and the actors around him. These make a lot more sense when you consider the person writing them feels shielded from true identity exposure and social consequence.

Zohran flip your hair again we need healthcare get him to give us healthcare.

Ayo @npr.org did y’all ever apologize for this? 🤔 Talk about aging terribly. Yeesh. Maybe it’s at least time do a little introspection? www.npr.org/2024/08/25/g...

Cathartic and necessary.

If joking about Charlie Kirk is considered “violent rhetoric,” how do we describe open calls to hang members of Congress?

Senator Chris Murphy: “If you are a person of influence in this country, maybe it’s time to pick a fucking side.” 👇🏽

CNN: What if there are more names connected to the Democratic Party that come out in the files? CHRIS MURPHY: So what?

Terrific

Oh my. James Talarico is incredibly skilled in dismantling Christian Nationalists. Get this man in the Senate.

BREAKING: A federal judge ordered public schools in Texas to remove displays of the Ten Commandments in their classrooms.

It's a good day. 🕊️

👇🏽 Especially because he just said on stage to his supporters that if they lose power he and many will be going to prison.

Trump on Saudi Crown Prince MBS: "I'm very proud of the job he's done. What he's done is incredible in terms of human rights and everything else." MBS ordered the assassination of Washington Post journalist Jamal Khashoggi.

Every outlet worth a damn should be calling this out. www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article...

Epstein’s brother has said this repeatedly

“I am traumatized. I am not stupid. You have put us through so much stress, the lockdowns, the halt of these, of these procedures that were supposed to have happened 50 days ago”

LOL. Why does he need to sign a bill to release the files when he can just RELEASE THE FILES?

I don’t know why some defense attorneys don’t use Trump’s own statements in court. It’s either a hoax or it isn’t. Bondi & Patel both testified to Congress there was no client list & no charges to be brought. Did they lie then? What changed in the weeks since their testimony?

Yes!

The important thing about Greene’s recent behavior is her showing that a former MAGA can admit wrongdoing, break from Trump, and still have a future (arguably a more effective one) in governance and bipartisan politics. It’s our job to put up people that can beat her. In the meantime, take the win.

👇👇

Exactly right.

As an official spokesman for everyone, we hereby state that we don't give a fuck about Bill Clinton. Attacks on him mean less than nothing to us. We DO NOT CARE. As you were.

I’ll take a two thousand dollar check for every month Trump has been in office for emotional and psychological damages.

This is fiercely interesting: PBS: "Military service personnel have been seeking outside legal advice about some of the missions the Trump administration has assigned them." www.pbs.org/newshour/sho...

I just don’t see how we can pretend even for a moment that anything involving our federal government is remotely normal when the president is covering up his involvement in a child sex trafficking ring. Like, what are we doing here

This is a statement I received from a Epstein survivor who is a Jane Doe. Share it widely.

Odd that the DoJ is opening an investigation into the Epstein files since they said in July that there was no client list and nothing to release.

May I suggest that the US Senate have bipartisan study groups where they pour over these files together as they prepare for this important vote. Seems practical and efficient!

Trump should really file a lawsuit against the Epstein Estate for this massive hoax.

The Epstein case against Trump is as if everyone is looking at a 500 piece puzzle with 2 pieces missing and pretending they can't make out the picture for certain.

“Ask him if Putin has the photos of Trump blowing Bubba?”

Can just one reporter or journalist respond to Karoline Leavitt with a simple.. “No one believes you. You can still jump ship.”

Whole bunch of stuff beginning to make a lot of sense.

Yes, and also... now is the time to prioritize legislation in this new technological age that mandates multiple, fact-checked debates with video footage and donor data on all candidates. Until we refuse to be lied to, we will always be vulnerable to repeating past mistakes.

This is who Donald Trump nominated to be Attorney General of the United States

"If Trump fires mueller and gets away with it it is 1933 Berlin." In 1933, Berlin was the site where Adolf Hitler was appointed Chancellor, marking the transition of Germany from a democracy to a dictatorship.

Based on the emails released today and what’s yet to come, I wouldn’t be surprised if Mike Johnson sends the House back on vacation until the end of time.
