"This could take down Democrats, too." I know. And I frankly wouldn't give even an itty bitty damn if it implicated every Democratic man in Congress, every Democratic hopeful for 2028 and every Democrat who has even thought about running for office. Down with the sex predators, wherever they are.

Joe is right. We need to keep focused on justice for the victims. As much as I'd love to see Trump taken down by the files, what I really want is for every participant and enabler to be identified and punished.

Media standards: 1) No Democratic scandal on par with Trump-Epstein, so it’d be biased and unfair to five it much attention. 2) Trump wouldn’t be shamed into resigning and his cult of personality wouldn’t abandon him, so Trump-Epstein wasn’t worth pursuing. Way too many think that’s journalism.

DO NOT REPEAT THIS INSIGHT

I just walked out of federal court where I pleaded NOT GUILTY to the charges against me. I will continue to stand up to authoritarianism and call this out for what it is: a political prosecution.

I have loathed our horrible elites, without regard to what political party they belong to, forever. The Epstein emails released today have me feeling both repulsed and strangely validated.

My generalized loathing of the NY Times in particular has been vindicated.

Whether it's Hillary Clinton sending emails to her staff saying "please print" or Donald Trump sending letters to Jeffrey Epstein alluding to child rape, both candidates sent some questionable messages to people that they knew.

The Trump Administration is saying its $20 billion bailout for Argentina is classified. Give me a break. Trump just wants to hide the receipts. Americans deserve to know where their money went.

The change.org petition demanding Chuck Schumer step down as Minority Leader has now reached 50,000 signatures. Sign here: www.change.org/p/demand-tha...

Exactly. Senator Whitehouse you can unify around deposing our wildly unsuccessful Senate Minority Leader. THAT will unify the grassroots and, hopefully, most in Congress.

Right, the answer isn't to abandon the party to these weasels. The answer is to flood the party with people who will take it over and transform it.

Can anyone explain the process for a Democrat Senator to challenge Schumer for the leadership position?

Dems. Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory

Perhaps better headline: Trump preemptively pardons everyone planning on election subversion in 2026 and 2028. www.nationalreview.com/news/trump-p...

"Anyone who helps me try to steal an election gets a pardon" is perhaps the most corrupt thing to happen in American history.” Donald Trump is the most corrupt thing to happen in AmerIcan history.

Hey MAGA: why would Ghislane Maxwell be receiving “concierge style treatment?” WHY?

It's not moderates vs progressives, it's fighters vs collaborators, realists vs delusionalists, populists vs institutionalists, cowards vs the courageous. I'll take @aoc.bsky.social and @adamkinzinger.substack.com, @katmabu.bsky.social and @billkristolbulwark.bsky.social...

Our focus now needs to be on replacing @schumer.senate.gov If you have a Dem Senator, call them tomorrow and demand they publicly call for Schumer to step aside immediately. Without a leadership change, we have no chance of saving our country.

Chuck Schumer Helps Pull Democrats Back From Brink Of Courage

Since the Democrats worked extra hard to hide who actually supported this, I think the No Kings/Resistance position should be to primary every Democrat unless they publicly call for Schumer's ouster this week Either they go into total rebellion mode, which they won't, or the people will

80% of Democratic voters want a new leader in the Senate. Does that matter at all to Democratic senators?

In a normal democracy, a total collapse of party leadership would result in an no-confidence vote and immediate snap elections to find leaders who can lead

This shit is why people don’t trust the Democratic Party.

So, you're telling me this time will be different? OK! Let's do it!

The current state of American capitalism isn’t sustainable and doesn’t deserve to be sustained. And the best way to avoid an American version of “eat the rich” is to fix the current “let them eat cake” distortion of capitalism. www.thebulwark.com/p/let-them-e...

I’ve never seen an American elected official fight so hard to starve people.

He said that the agents would throw food at them to eat. The agents threatened to withhold food for a week and to beat him up if he didn't sign deportation papers. He said he saw others refuse and get beaten/receive no food. He signed because he was afraid.

Trump on Nancy Pelosi: "I think she's an evil woman. I think she was a tremendous liability for the country. " Trump on Ghislane Maxwell: "I wish her well"

Some good news here!!! When the facts were presented it was clear that Noem, Bonvino and team were instigating confrontations and violating the constitution.

Excessive force. PERIOD! They called them “violent mobs,” but the violence came from the guys with badges and body armor. 📌 Keep sharing videos, everyone, because they’re evidence.

ICE dragged this mom out of a PRESCHOOL. I just donated to help and hope you will too.

Ald. Matt Martin and @onenorthside.bsky.social are hosting a rally tonight in support of the preschool teacher who was taken by ICE this morning. We need ICE out of our schools and out of Chicago! #ice #chicago

I don’t know how many times I’ve watched this video. I don’t know how we’ve gotten to the point where men in full balaclavas can abduct daycare teachers while they’re watching children. But I do know that this isn’t sustainable. Abolish ICE. There is no way to reform this.

So true! "In the end, the bizarre idea that a choice must be made between Trump and the economy reflects something deeper: a broad reluctance to accept that Trump is really, really unpopular."

If the sandwich don’t split, you must acquit

the reason republicans lost yesterday is because theyre a bunch of weird freaks pushing policy that everyone hates

Populist Dems won. Moderate Dems won. We won in blue states. We won in purple states. Maybe the take is that (a) people think Trump is out of control; and (b) people like Dems when we're taking a stand and fighting for what we believe in - as we have been for the last month.

Really looking forward to the Speaker of the House claiming to be unaware of the election results.

There is not one face of the Democratic Party. Tonight proved there are many faces, but each with a commitment to fight back against the reckless failure of the Trump regime and actually serve people. Thank goodness.

Great article. It seems like this should be obvious, but....

I thought FRANKENSTEIN had been added to Netflix but it was just Cuomo's concession speech

Good night, everyone. Great work today. Sleep well, for tomorrow the 2026 election begins. Every Democratic candidate tonight, and every one running in 2026 has a secret weapon on their side:
