There is no basis to withhold these images under the clear terms of the Epstein Files Transparency Act. None.

SNAP is a lifeline for workers in low-wage jobs. Meanwhile, CEOs are paid 280x as much as the typical worker. Don’t be angry at workers for using food stamps. Be angry at the corporations paying them so little that they need them.

I don’t think the law passed by Congress said that DOJ has to release less than 1% of the materials by Dec 19.

The White House has been caught. The administration inserted a photo of Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson, and Diana Ross into the Epstein files and falsely implied it showed them with victims. In reality, it’s a publicly available fundraiser photo featuring Jackson and Ross’s own children.

Khanna: Congress is talking about possible impeachment. They're talking about inherent contempt for the attorney general or deputy attorney general—any justice department official who has obstructed justice could face prosecution in this administration or a future administration.

WATCH-- Former AG Eric Holder says Congress should consider impeachment for the DOJ officials responsible for holding back the Epstein files: “That's a nuclear option that Congress has.”

Nobody works this hard for this long to cover up something this bad unless they are guilty.

Schiff: "Part of this is a consequence I think frankly of Chief Justice Roberts giving the president absolute immunity when it comes to his instructions to the DOJ. He can pretty much order them to do what he wants and know that he will never be held criminally liable."

Tapper: This is one of the documents the DOJ released. It’s 100 pages. It’s all black. That’s the transparency we’re getting.

🚨BREAKING: The Department of Justice will fail to publicly release all of its files on convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein by a Friday deadline, violating a new federal law explicitly mandating that the trove of documents be turned over for public scrutiny. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

BREAKING: Elise Stefanik DROPS OUT of race for New York Governor and will NOT be seeking reelection in Congress

Jack Smith has requested that Jim Jordan release the entire video of his 8-hour closed-door testimony which he gave this week to the House Judiciary Committee. Will Jordan release the video to the public? If not, why not?

This is mental illness.

BREAKING: House Democrats are preparing to file a discharge petition on a new stock trading ban for politicians, per Punchbowl

I'm watching his speech and it's wild he has no idea what's going on in the country. 54% of Americans say they won't be able to pay for health care next year. 25% skipped a meal because they couldn't afford it. The economy is good for billionaires. That's all he cares about.

Politics. Brought to you by banks.

It was never about drugs. It was always about oil.

"But how will we pay for this? And what about the fairness & moral hazard of this non-universal large-scale redistribution?" Oh, I'm sorry. We only ask those questions when Democrats are proposing policies that benefit left-coded constituencies. bsky.app/profile/mcop...

Didn't get what they wanted.

House Republicans are going on vacation and letting your health care subsidies lapse.

This has the votes to pass with bipartisan support, but Johnson is going to adjourn the House again to delay it as long as possible just like he did with Epstein.

Warnock: He's got a lot of nerve saying that I'm using faith to divide people. This is a man who literally had protesters gassed and beaten down so he could hold up a bible in front of a church.

One minute into Trump's deranged speech, and it's like an old man with dementia yelling at the woods with his pants around his ankles.

Who's going to tell them? Ignorance is bliss.

it really feels like the end is near for Mike Johnson's speakership after a critical mass of House Republicans this morning forced a vote on ACA subsidies over his resistance

If the House passes a 3 year extension of the ACA tax credits - which they now have the votes to do - then @LeaderJohnThune has to call it up for a vote in the Senate. GOP leaders have tried as hard as they can to hurt families, but the dam is breaking. Let's get this done.

[email protected] : Do you think you could beat JD Vance in a head-to-head race for president, as polling suggests? AOC: I would stomp him.

This used to be Tulsi Gabbard.

AOC: “President Trump ran on a promise to the American people that ICE would go after the worst of the worst — What we have seen is that ICE is not overwhelmingly going after criminals — In fact, over 70% of people currently detained in detention facilities do not have a criminal record”

Every year the retirement age is raised is a 7% benefit cut. Cutting our earned benefits should NEVER be on the table.

Trump just announced he will address the nation tomorrow night from the White House. Probably to declare war on Venezuela. We all knew he was going to pull some last-second shit to distract from the Epstein files.

Ronald Reagan, a cold man who ignored the AIDS crisis because he was a homophobe and craved the votes of other homophobes, is *not* a reminder of anything good or decent.

Massive defeat for Mike Johnson. Still has to clear the senate, but this is what Dems wanted all along. Johnson has essentially lost control of the gavel after Epstein and now this. Weakest speaker in history.

WTF? ICE is arguing in court that US CITIZENS can be detained, handcuffed, and biometrically screened unless they can prove citizenship on the spot. And that a REAL ID isn't enough. This isn't border security.

"Anthropic's CEO Dario Amodei says that in 3 to 6 months, AI will be writing 90% of the code that software developers were in charge of." No, it won't. It will pull from its datasets a code pre-written by contributors or grabbed from open sources on the internet, with crap results.

Seems like Trump and his groupies think starting a regime change war of conquest out of nowhere is a political masterstroke that will get them back on the front foot, but I don’t think that’s how it will play out.

Next Dem president might be tempted to look into the funding for Vought’s Center for Renewing America to see if there was some oil industry patronage involved.

I mean everyone voted for fewer jobs, more war and more expensive healthcare, right?

In November, 24.3% of the unemployed had been hunting for a job for at least 6 months, up from 23.6% in September. In November 2024, the figure was 23.1%, per BLS

AOC: This president has absolutely tanked the economy... Video from: @pabloreports.bsky.social

imagine thinking people liked car insurance companies and wanted them to involved in a much bigger aspect of their lives

Mike Johnson refuses to comment on Trump’s post about Rob Reiner and runs away from reporters.

Suddenly they don’t like showing when they bomb boats? Jeepers, it’s Almost like they have something to hide

Payrolls fell -105k in October and rose +64k in November. August and September payrolls were also revised down a total of 33k. These data suggest VIRTUALLY NO EMPLOYMENT GROWTH since April ("Liberation day"). Unemployment is now up to 4.6%. This is a tricky report, so stay tuned.

BREAKING: Mike Johnson just said he won't call a vote this year to extend enhanced subsidies under the Affordable Care Act — effectively guaranteeing they will expire at the end of this month.
