so ICE is a jobs program for men who like to hit women and get away with it

I just took a Tylenol and one of the side-effects was chronic curiosity about who else is in the Epstein Files. Ask your doctor if apprehending pedophiles is right for you.

Over the past 10 days, Trump has sued The New York Times, demanded investigations and firings of his political enemies, attempted (with temporary success) to bully a comedian off the air and threatened progressive groups. These are not signs of Trump’s power. They’re signs of his regime’s weakness.

🚨BREAKING: On behalf of Our Oregon and 3 voters, my firm has filed a motion to intervene to oppose DOJ's effort to obtain voter registration data — including sensitive personal information like birthdates and partial Social Security numbers. www.democracydocket.com/cases/oregon...

They are running this ad in blue cities in blue states. It’s propaganda intended to create an “internal opposition force”

For everyone saying this is an impeachable offense and worse than Watergate: Of course it is. But that doesn’t matter in the slightest, because this GOP Congress has completely abdicated their duty and will never do anything to hold him accountable.

Meanwhile, back in the real world . . . Bagram Air Base was built by the Soviet Union in the 1950s. What an idiot.

What a week 😐 this book is a delightful escape…AND explores some relevant themes for these dystopian days we are living in 🌟

NEW: In a rare public appearance, Jack Smith spoke at length this week issuing a dire warning about Trump's weaponization of the Department of Justice. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/new-jack-s...

Disney/ABC have a responsibility to refuse to participate in corruption. Kimmel must be reinstated. If Disney/ABC agree to this extortion then perhaps creatives + workers should consider collective action to push back. Same w/buying park + cruise tickets if they bow. People have power. Ask Target

More thug government: “If you don’t falsely prosecute my political opponents, I will fire you.” Talk about weaponizing law enforcement.

This is wildly illegal and he has no authority to do this

Cardinal Timothy Dolan failed to report direct admissions of rape by multiple priests, lobbied against extending the statute of limitations for sex abuse, and moved money off the church books to hide it from victims of sex abuse. In case you were wondering.

There goes the First Amendment.

You’re about to see a push on the right to designate a bunch of nonviolent people on the left as ANTIFA because they don’t like their rhetoric. Dangerous times.

I stand with PBS. I stand with NPR. I stand with Stephen Colbert. I stand with Jimmy Kimmel. I stand with the First Amendment. PERIOD.* *Also #ReleaseTheEPSTEIN_Files

Can’t believe the CDC. Can’t believe the DoJ. Can’t believe the BLS. Can’t believe the FBI. But I believe in us.

We won’t let Donald Trump dictate what voices the American people are allowed to hear. That’s why millions of us will join protests to defend our rights and our democracy in the largest peaceful mass mobilization in American history. Find your local event: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i... #NoKings

Way to go, Minnesota! OMG, thank you for voting!

I wrote about the war on research and science as a way to discredit every authority but the Leader, and how RFK Jr. functions as a modern-day Lysenko, but much worse.

This looks faker than the war on Christmas

"We need a tough guy, they say, because the Democrats are so dangerous. But now they find themselves defending Trump against the one sin that has given their movement its chief moral stature: child abuse." That was an easy about-face.

In the midpoint of the decade, it is crazy that my law firm is currently involved in eight redistricting cases. Even worse, as of today, I expect that will grow to twelve in the next month or so. Republicans want to make it harder for you to vote and easier for them to cheat.

I sent an email this afternoon to the reporters of that Wall Street Journal article asking them to change the headline and body of the article to confirm trans people had nothing to do with the motives of the assassin. No response. Instead, WSJ posted an editor's note and kept the headline. Classy.

It’s not being charged as a federal crime because it’s not an assassination. Or a hate crime. Nor did it happen on federal land.

This is a good time to remember that the far-right had no sympathy for the two Minnesota lawmakers and their spouses that were shot in Minnesota and they also celebrated that Nancy Pelosi's husband was attacked in his own home.

Yes, we’re literally about to zero out funding for every Title VI area studies center at every university in the country, along with FLAS fellowship funding. A generation of human capital that feeds into our diplomatic & intelligence corps that will simply not exist. National security madness.

It’s real and they know it.

Only 40 days have passed since Democratic lawmaker Melissa Hortman and her husband were tragically killed by an unhinged Trump supporter, yet this story has largely faded from national awareness. We must not allow that to happen.

Yeah. That’s his signature.

You don’t need handwriting experts. The argument that Trump’s best friend kept a fake letter from Trump in his birthday book for over a decade…is about as ridiculous as Trump turning into an FBI informant to inform on himself.

Earlier this year, HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. dismissed all of the staff that distributed $1.7B annually in Social Services Block Grant funds, which many states depended on for their child welfare, foster care and adoption systems. (Published April 2025)

One of the most remarkable things of the last 9 months is how many Americans seem to believe the President is all powerful and Congress has no say. Actually Congress has been ineffective by choice. It has immense power if it had the courage to use it.

The President of the United States is threatening to go to war with one of his own states. This is completely unhinged.

Sums up the issue. Points for succinctness.

Those of you who have followed for awhile will remember that I was *very* concerned that we were going to go to war with North Korea during Trump’s first term. This is part of why. There were multiple provocations that the public didn’t know about in that time period. 1/2

The GOP usually LOVES these O’Keefe hidden cameras. Let’s see what they have to say about this one admitting the Epstein coverup.

Got out for the morning. Essential for maintaining sanity 😎🎶

WATCH — Sen. @ossoff.senate.gov : "It's been extraordinary to see the Speaker of the House reduced to lying in order to cover up sex crimes.” He adds that RFK JR. must resign.

"This is all the same project: attacking the government and re-engineering it to serve as a weapon against the American people. It’s the greatest act of civilizational self-mutilation since the First World War."

sorry what

One detail an Epstein survivor noted in today's presser: DOJ did not inform Ghislaine Maxwell's victims she was being moved to cozier digs.
