"In a series of 2019 interviews with the FBI, the woman said she was a sexual assault victim of Jeffrey Epstein. She also alleged that she was assaulted by Trump in the 1980s when she was between the ages of 13 and 15." 1/ www.nbcnews.com/politics/don...

On NJ Transit on the way home and the train just died. Just another day/reminder of how “the richest and most powerful nation in the world” cannot do mass transit. We can afford a war and build concentration camps, but not mass transit.

Obama: "We are living in a time where it can be hard to hope. Each day we wake up to some new assault on our democratic institutions. Another setback to the idea of the rule of law ... but this man - Rev. Jesse Jackson - inspires us to take a harder path ... bc if we don't step up, nobody else will"

Nope!!! #Iran #Epstein #EpsteinFiles

Holy crap, the latest released Epstein files are horrific. This man should be in prison, not the White House.

Today's abysmal jobs report is a reminder that tax cuts for corporations and the rich don’t create jobs or grow the economy. What's required is investment in working people — and better wages. When workers have money to spend, the economy grows and businesses create more jobs. Remember this.

Himes: I have a theory on how this ends… You’re going to see oil go across $100… Projections for economic growth are going to go down. And at some point in 3-5 weeks, the president is going to say this is really not tenable. And he’s going to declare victory and walk away.

Reuters Exclusive "U.S. military investigators believe it is likely that U.S. forces were responsible for an apparent strike on an Iranian girls' school." "The strike would rank among the worst cases of civilian casualties in decades of U.S. conflicts in the ​Middle East."

MASSIE: “Iran is not Venezuela. The Ayatollah was not a president. He was a religious leader… 🇺🇸 & 🇮🇱 turned him into a martyr, expended billions, 6 🇺🇸 families must now lay to rest their sons & daughters. And for what? This administration can't even give us a straight answer.”

Never forget that this what The Washington Post said when Noem was nominated.

What makes us think Noem wasn’t sacked because ICE wasn’t killing MORE innocent civilians.

A small group of Democratic lawmakers have just proposed legislation to bar members of Congress from profiting off prediction markets, citing elected officials' possession of "material nonpublic information."

The fuck kind of answer is this

good news. kristi noem has already found eight new jobs

If it’s true that the United States bombed an elementary school and killed scores of children it is an unfathomable crime. I have never been more disgusted to be an American.

⛽

Pretty difficult to refute a single thing in this perfect assessment of where the f**k we are, from @iandunt.bsky.social:

It’s almost like we didn’t think this through.

The lack of media coverage about the bombing of the girls elementary schools is shocking.

WAPO: “.. Since the war began Saturday, Russia has passed Iran the locations of U.S. military assets, including warships and aircraft, said the three officials, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the matter’s sensitivity.” @washingtonpost.com www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

Massie on Newsmax: "We're not getting the answers we need from Pam Bondi. I just spent 3 hours at the DOJ this week looking at the unredacted files. And I'm finding evidence of files they haven't released yet." (Note that the Newsmax anchor agrees with him!)

MS NOW confirms Corey Lewandowski is also out at DHS.

This is not good.

This is honestly one of the most anti-Jewish things I’ve ever seen from the United States government.

“Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed...This is not a way of life...it is humanity hanging from a cross of iron.” -Dwight Eisenhower 1953

Trump said the U.S. is “doing very well on the war front, to put it mildly.” Then he gives the U.S. a 15 out of 10 grade for the Iran war. 🥴 Six Americans are dead and he’s grading it like a game.

Kelly: "You could pick a random group of people off the street tonight here in DC and they could probably do a better job than our government is doing right now. They don't have a goal, there's no strategic plan. And what this is likely to lead to is, again, a long war with a lot of dead Americans."

The Constitution is clear: Congress decides on war. When a president uses military force without authorization and Congress stays silent, they are abandoning their role as a co equal branch of government. War is the most serious power our government has. Shame on the U.S. Senate today.

This senator needs to face charges and lose his seat Here’s the video for anyone who hasn’t seen it yet

Anyone find it interesting that not so many weeks ago, President Orange Shits Himself was implying that NATO Allies that supported the US in Afghanistan “weren’t on the front lines” is now crying that we aren’t running to his aid in yet another US illegitimate war? 🤔 Anyone?

The biggest winner Tuesday night was voter turnout. Even if your candidate didn’t win, Texans should be proud of this. Voters showed up in huge numbers.

…

They cut Meals on Wheels for seniors, doctors for the VA, and food for American children - but send billions of taxpayer dollars to the Middle East for an unnecessary war of choice.

Just thinking about what we could do with a billion dollars a day that doesn’t include bombing people.

Calling in the Clinton’s in for a closed-door testimony while ignoring other widely implicated individuals is no mistake. This is an active, and massive, cover-up.

Ted Lieu to Kristi Noem: “I just showed you a video with ICE officers at a school drop-off location — your refusal to commit to stopping these operations at or near schools & drop-off locations is why you're failing — so I'm going to show you this video that encapsulates why you're failing”

The video of a United States Senator joining the violent removal of U.S. marine from a hearing and hideously breaking his arm in a door is an example of what has been unleashed in this country. They’re tapping in to get in on the violence. And then he bragged about it on X later.

Becca Balint to Kristi Noem: “You are not above the law. Todd Lyons is not above the law. Nobody working for you is above the law— You think you're immune from accountability — but I promise you this, one day he’s not going to be president anymore — and we are going to continue to prove your guilt”

Cricket was the name of the puppy that Kristi Noem murdered.

Free and fair elections are the cornerstone of our democracy. But right now, they’re under attack. Several Republican-controlled states have redrawn their congressional maps to give themselves an unfair advantage in the midterm elections.

The United States now has a Democratic Party and an anti-Democratic Party.

Kristi Noem testified under oath yesterday that detainees receive medical attention within 12 hours. Yet another shameless lie.

It’s not just that the Administration isn’t answering questions about Iran. They’re lying.

NEW: Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says the United States has asked Ukraine for help intercepting Iranian-made Shahed drones, citing Ukraine’s battlefield expertise. Zelenskyy said any assistance will come only if it does not weaken Ukraine’s own defenses.
