Rep. Jamie Raskin has sent letters to four of the nation's largest banks demanding information related to "more than $1.5 billion in suspicious financial transactions flagged by the banks tied to sex trafficking crimes committed by Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell and their co-conspirators."

Dems are advancing a winning populist issue and they either aren't campaigning on it or they aren't getting traction in the new balkanized media. Either way, they need to unfuck it. Good on Idaho Ds for this.

Bat Boy wants his race war. He's already in the high castle, sending Texans after Chicagoans.

20 paragraphs down in the NBC News story that broke the information that the administration is considering invoking the Insurrection Act is the report that Stephen Miller is driving the issue.

He finally got the election-denying MAGA A.G. he always dreamed of. Bondi was openly partisan, scornful & highly combative, her non-answers dripping with disdain. Very telling when she was asked if she'd seen the photos of her boss "with half-naked young women." PATHETIC

Pritzker: "It's unconscionable. This has never happened before. They're calling out troops onto the streets of a state that doesn't want them and they're not even telling us where they're gonna go, what they're gonna do. This hasn't happened I don't think since the Civil War."

They've had power over all three branches of government for over 9 months. They ARE the enemy within. Stephen Miller is the enemy within. Radicalized conservative men are the ones committing violence.

This shit is dystopian. Blackhawk helicopters, zip-tied kids, and racial segregation vans.

ICE is terrorizing communities.

Last night I went out despite my growing concern for life, the universe, and everything. I had a much needed good time, and itngsve me hope.

A young man smiled at me in the bar and said, "Has anyone told you lately how fly you are?"

I grinned and shook my head slowly.

"Well you are."

The man who is responsible for adding $2.4 trillion to the deficit over 10 years, and who is responsible for allocating $75 billion to kidnapping citizens, is taunting U.S. citizens by threatening to shutdown safety net programs.

It’s time people. Courage over comfort.

Post from Truth Social, where the dicktator in charge gleefully posts about destroying America’s infrastructure and cutting programs that help US citizens.

DC was one of the nation's largest sanctuary cities but today is a "test case" for the administration's campaign to terrorize immigrants of color. ICE denies engaging in racial profiling, but we DC residents believe our own eyes -and the extensive video footage.

Just like McConnell and the Supreme Court seat that should have been Obamas nominee.

Qasim Rashid, Esq. @qasimrashid.com · 28d

This is so indefensibly insane: Speaker Johnson is refusing to seat Congresswoman-elect Adelita Grijalva because she'll be the 218th vote to release the Epstein files. Johnson swore in Rep Walkinshaw (VA) w/in 24 hours.

Johnson is abandoning his job to instead protect a convicted child sex predator

Neguse: "I would challenge anyone to make sense of the rantings and ravings you just heard from the president. These are not serious people tweeting out offensive videos last night on Truth Social ... I think it's important for all of us to acknowledge what we see with our own eyes"

Remember: Undocumented immigrants pay billions of dollars in taxes every year.

They pay into government funded healthcare programs, but can't access them except in case of emergency.

Emergency Medicaid spending accounted for less than 1% of total Medicaid spending in 2023.
