Jeffrey Epstein was found hanging in his cell on August 10, 2019, as there were no windows he could fall out of.

The Epstein story gets a something that is tearing at the heart of the electorate: elite impunity. The idea that wealthy and powerful people can do terrible things *at scale* and face no consequences for them. Whatever political party actually stops it could rule the country for a generation.

I'm not a professional commentator. No one pays me for my political opinions and they aren't for sale. I'm a lawyer who fights for democracy who built Democracy Docket from scratch because we need independent pro-democracy media. For $10 a month you can help it do its vital work. hubs.ly/Q03CbHTt0

“But her emails!” Sigh. 🙄

Guaranteed there are tapes. And someone knows exactly what’s on them, and where they are stored.

Damn, it’s certainly been a minute since I’ve logged in here. Nice to see so many familiar names, faces, and profile pics. 😊💙

Never in my wildest imagination did I expect to see such an extraordinary level of collective cognitive dissonance centered around a single political figure. It’s almost impossible to fathom. Yet here we are.

Can we just take a minute and acknowledge that our POTUS is right OUT IN THE OPEN lobbying Congressional members to vote against releasing the Epstein files?! Like... what the fuck else does anyone even need to know?

It all would have been much easier if, as would have happened if we were remotely a serious country, it all ended with the Access Hollywood interview.

If **Jeffrey Epstein** thinks you're a evil and demented sociopath, the odds are overwhelming that you are, in fact, an evil and demented sociopath.

It is essential for the rule of law that everyone involved in this end up in prison. Nothing else is a sufficient deterrent against the intentional, repeated abuse of government power to systematically deny fundamental rights.

I am calling for a total and complete shutdown of detainees being removed from the United States to foreign prisons until our country's representatives can figure out what is going on.

What we all just witnessed had all the earmarks of a criminal conspiracy to deprive Abrego-Garcia of his constitutional rights, as well as an impeachable offense. The fraud scheme was a phony agreement engineered by the US to have Bukele say he lacks power to return Abrego Garcia and he won't do it.

Alright, thank you for helping crowdsource this Starter Pack of Independent / Non-Corporate Media Sources. These voices will be essential in the Trump 2.0 era. Please check out these folks and share! Let me know if I missed anyone... 🙏

And that time is now…👇 So, get OUT, get INVOLVED, and get LOUD! America. Isn’t. Gonna. Save. Itself. 🇺🇸✨

Writing in general, and my limericks in particular, have always been an effort not to make money, but to make a difference. With that in mind, I’ve decided to donate 50% of my royalties each month for #FridayLimericks2024: Mistakes Were Made to a cause that matters to me. (Thread) a.co/d/ih9P724

If you support any of this, you’re honestly just a terrible person. People’s lives are being upended and destroyed. For every 1% increase in unemployment, 40,000 people die—yet some are celebrating.

This feels accurate.

The American Bar Association is made up of all political affiliations, remaining committed to justice. This letter from Bar president William R. Bay speaks volumes.

That’s nothing. I found 13 contracts awarded to SpaceX since December totaling $77M. 1/

Just got a tip from a guy at the FAA. You'll never believe who is still getting new government contracts while all the contracts at the Department of Education and USAID and other agencies are being nuked from orbit.

The CFPB is one of the American people’s best defenses against waste, fraud, and abuse. Demolishing it will, of course, lead to more waste, fraud, and abuse.

USAID Fraud Allegations: Fact vs. Fiction Fact Inspector General’s Investigations: - USAID’s Office of Inspector General (OIG) actively investigates allegations of major fraud, corruption, and misconduct within its programs and operations, demonstrating accountability in addressing internal issues.

I'm sorry, but "they took over the whole federal payments system, fired the career staff, and won't let anybody see what they're doing" is not a situation in which you wait for more information. It's a situation in which you assume the worst. There's no explanation for it other than rampant crimes.

📌NOTE: The sell-by date is up for people telling me they just can't pay attention to what is happening right now, because it's too much. 📌Sometimes you don't pick the fight, the fight picks you. So grow up, get up, and hit back, dammit. Or everything you think you have will already be gone ...

Because they all said “oh that’s just Trump” and ignored it all. They are all wrong but the good news is it won’t hurt them. Just the poors.

If you are looking for the guardrails on MAGA extremism, it does not reside in government institutions or norms. Nor will you find any courage in the boardrooms of large corporations as they bow and scrape before Trump. That leaves only the courts. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/cour...

This is a word of warning to all of us. Left, right, or anything else. Constantly reevaluating and learning.

Just thinking about how once the Kremlin’s oligarchs pillaged their nation’s resources - dividing it all up for themselves (“privatizing”), they stole everyone’s pensions. The evidence of this is what Magnitsky found, btw, and why he was murdered. This spurred us - when we were a democracy… /1

Among the many avenues Democrats need to be pushing *now* is: Trump, Musk, and their Republican enablers just compromised the personal and financial info of every American. This isn't hyperbole; it already happened. They broke all the cybersecurity protocols and are concealing what they're doing.

The most common question I receive is how everyday citizens can help in the fight for democracy. My advice, take the first step, start with something small and see what works for you. Here are ten things all of us can do. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/10-t...

You may not be on this list, but he’s coming for you next.

Here are the options on the table (which are not mutually exclusive): 1. House Dems bring articles of impeachment* 2. Senate Dems play constitutional hardball and obstruct everything 3. State AGs litigate (and prosecute) everything they can 4. Citizens march en mass

Food for thought, especially this week. Give the special ppl in your life an extra hug 😊

One of the things I’m enjoying about starting a new account here—seeing so many familiar names and faces, several of whom I haven’t seen in quite a while. It’s also a great reminder of the impact togetherness can bring. #Resist

Every day we have a choice—remain stagnant and accept what is, or step out of the box and work to improve. 💙

It’s incredibly easy to get caught up in the chaos of our everyday lives, trying our best just to make it through each day. Life is never easy. Let today serve as a reminder to take a pause and remember little things matter too. #HappyThanksgiving 🧡
