How Pam Bondi failed Epstein’s victims “Attorney General Pam Bondi had multiple opportunities to stand up for Epstein’s victims — in Florida and at the DOJ. She never did.” @maryellenklas.bsky.social @opinion.bloomberg.com

There's one more thing to remember about the Epstein files: Pam Bondi's long history of failing the victims: x.com/opinion/stat...

There's a right way and a wrong way to do property tax reform. Texas and Florida are using the issue to propose plans that erode local autonomy and make towns more susceptible to authoritarian-leaning lawmakers. There's a better way. Gift link. www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...

Mail-in voting has proven safe and reliable with all the protocols in place today. The RNC has reversed itself - to appease the president’s grudge - and now wants the Supreme Court to undermine faith in mail-in ballots. Don't fall for it. Gift link: www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...

Last week's elections were a warning: Republicans are overplaying their hand on gerrymandering, making their members more vulnerable to a wave election next year. I break it down here. Gift link: www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...

Georgia Democrats scored an upset in an obscure race for the state utility board by focusing on costs while Republicans wanted to make it another partisan litmus test. Democrats romped. Is it a bellwether for the midterms? via @opinion.bloomberg.com Gift link: www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...

North Carolina, already gerrymandered to the brink, is set to eliminate its last competitive district — and take a big step back toward the Jim Crow era. It's morally wrong. It's up to voters to have it backfire politically. Gift link: www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...

BREAKING: Friday night massacre underway at CDC. Doznes of "disease detectives," high-level scientists, entire Washington staff and editors of the MMWR (Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report) have all been RIFed and received the following notice:

Too often news references to Antifa fail to give it the proper context - autonomous groups that oppose fascism, have no leader or organization, but which right wing groups often falsely characterize or personify. This here is one way to do it. ⬇️

CHICAGO — Outside an elementary school during dismissal… horrifying. What have we become?

When a judge’s home caught fire , the public assumed political violence. While arson isn't suspected, the dehumanizing rhetoric about the judiciary has become dangerous. It's time to call it out - or risk crippling it permanently. @opinion.bloomberg.com Gift link: www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...

This is an old formula used by authoritarian regimes. Stoke chaos and blame scapegoats to justify the use of force.

David Jolly is betting that by running a disciplined campaign focused on economic issues -and ignoring the GOP culture wars bait- he'll attract support from independents and crossover Republicans.

Los Angeles, DC, Memphis. The sight of National Guard troops acting as law enforcement should never become normal, but we're getting dangerously close to it. We must remember it's not really about fighting crime. 🎁 link: www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...

America can and must rekindle an appreciation for a good debate among young people, and remind them why freedom of expression is a fundamental right. Commentary from @maryellenklas.bsky.social at Bloomberg Opinion.

“Let’s be clear about what just happened: Jimmy Kimmel, a prominent late-night comedian, was just taken off the airwaves because the Trump administration didn’t like what he had to say — and threatened his employer until they shut him up.” www.vox.com/politics/461...

Support for free speech is fading from college campuses at an alarming rate. It's time to rekindle tolerance for a good debate because civil disagreement is the friction that democracy needs to smooth rough policy. @opinion . My column,🎁 link: www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...

EXCLUSIVE/BOMBSHELL: @bloomberg.com has obtained **18K** previously unreported emails from Jeffery Epstein's personal Yahoo account. The emails are disturbing & revelatory & reveal new details about Ghilaine Maxwell's role FREE to read www.bloomberg.com/features/202...

NEW: We got access to Jeffrey Epstein’s personal Yahoo inbox — more than 18,000 emails. It shows Epstein’s world in his own words: an unfiltered look at how his operation worked, who enabled it, and how Ghislaine Maxwell stayed at the center of it all.

You don't see this very often: Investigators "have images" of the suspect's face, "but they are not releasing pictures because they say they don’t need the public’s help at this point." www.sltrib.com/news/2025/09...

Trump dismissed domestic violence as "a little fight with the wife." It's in fact a crime. I know better. My mother was on the front lines trying to move this violence out of the shadows, where healing starts. She'd recognize his comments. 🎁 link: www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...

The White House wants foreign investment in manufacturing. Raiding a Hyundai plant in Georgia is a strange way of getting there. 🎁 link: www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...

Texas voters wanted Medicaid expansion, gun reform and looser abortion laws. Instead, Abbott and the GOP pursued culture wars. As in Florida, it's a subtle attempt at consolidating power and is institutionalizing the norms of authoritarian rule. 🎁link: www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...

Donald Trump talks about his commitment "to the American worker." But his record shows he’s only committed to certain kinds: men. Look at what's happening to programs for women, and the retro promotions of the apprenticeship program. @opinion.bloomberg.com 🎁 link: www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...

Judge orders "Alligator Alcatraz" to immediately start dismantling -- to render it uninhabitable as DeSantis will likely appeal. Remarkable ruling: www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

Data center builders convinced local politicians to grant permits with few guardrails. Now outraged communities are voting them out of office. If there's a data center coming to your community, Virginia's approach is what not to do. 🎁 link: www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...

With his plan to abolish mail-in voting, Trump is continuing his quest for ways to manipulate the midterms. It's not about eliminating fraud, or helping Republicans. In fact it will hurt them more than help. 🎁 link: www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...

New Uvalde school shooting records — nearly 12GB — come as part of a settlement in a yearslong lawsuit that news organizations, including ProPublica and @texastribune.org, brought against state and local governments. We continue to seek records from the state Department of Public Safety.

Texas' gerrymandering plan relies on the GOP's newfound support among Latino voters to win in 2026, but polls show that's a risky strategy. "Republicans are banking on a group that they have just alienated,” argues Mike Madrid. 🎁 link: www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...

Trump’s DOJ is demanding voter data — names, addresses, Social Security numbers — from states. They say it's about election integrity. It's more like a surveillance exercise to give the administration your data to use for political advantage. 🎁 link: www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...

Roy Cooper has never lost an election. Now, he’s Democrats' best chance of flipping a key Senate seat in North Carolina — and more importantly, use the spotlight to shape a message that resonates like his has in Trump country. @opinion 🎁link: www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...
