This is excellent questioning.
NEGUSE: AG Bondi, that man works for you now, right? The man in that video from J6 yelling 'kill them!' at cops. His name is Jared Wise.

BONDI: He does work for us, yes. I believe he was pardoned

NEGUSE: And you expect hard-working police officers to believe you take law enforcement seriously?

There is literally no better example of textbook fascistic thinking than "Who cares about human rights when the rich are doing so very well"
Bondi crashes out over Epstein: "The Dow is over 50,000 dollars! I don't know why you're laughing. You're a great stock trader as I hear, Raskin. The Dow is over 50,000 right now. The S&P at almost 7,000, and the Nasdaq smashing records. That's what we should be talking about."

What an amoral monster.
She really just said why are you talking about the mass coverup of child rape when you should be talking about money

Yep
Invoking wealthy class solidarity to excuse sex crimes against children is sorta the Epstein Class in a nutshell

WIRED is really stepping up as a vital publication, it seems to me.
NEW: ICE has a plan to lease offices across the US as part of a secret, months-long expansion campaign.

Today, @wired.com is publishing dozens of those locations. Many are near schools, medical offices, and places of worship.

Vital work from @leahfeiger.bsky.social that I'm proud to publish.

The point of peaceful protest is for the regime to be overcome by their conscience or to see reason.

The people that own America have no conscience and are morons.

They will never leave office unless dragged from it.

This is the treatment Trump's America deserves, sad to say.
When you wake up to a nuclear capable Canada and Mexico, allied with Europe and China in a union to completely exclude America from everything, maybe then you’ll find your way back to being better than the reprehensible thugs you have become.
Canada has stood with America when we were at our lowest, has fought and died in wars alongside us, has done everything a nation could to help and be amicable with another. And now America has gratuitously stabbed Canada in the back, and continues to do so. Things can never be the same again.

They have tried everything they can think of to distract us and prevent the truth from coming out — posting racist memes and even shutting down the House. But we will not stop until all involved are held accountable and the survivors get justice.

I hate how many of my fellow Americans show no care for how fellow human beings are treated. The GOP sucks, as does Trump.
The government says the people being deported are violent criminals, and they treat them inhumanely. But mostly they are subjecting ordinary people to extraordinary punishments.

She is so right.
Crockett: "The US is falling apart, partially bc he's allowing for killings in the street, but also bc we have a 34 count convicted felon being shielded from any type of accountability as it relates to a child sex trafficking ring. I don't understand why we're pretending any of this is normal."

I see no lies here.
U.K. might lose a prime minister because a guy who worked for him knew another guy who hung out with Epstein. Meanwhile the U.S. opposition party is telling our President, who was Epstein's best friend, that his secret police should get better training so their public street murders look less messy.

Remember all the stories after 2016 election about "economic anxiety"?
The Trump Administration wants us to think of Trump's racism as a character flaw grandpa sometimes sadly lets express itself too aggressively, when the reality is that the white nationalism is the governing, organizing logic of his administration that all Republicans are complicit with.

This will be a fully armed Brooks Brothers riot (which by the way included such non-partisans as Brett Kavanaugh and John Roberts in important roles). Democrats, start taking steps to squelch this now! @schumer.senate.gov @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social
We are NOT NEARLY concerned enough!

Seriously, put this on blast - people need to understand what's going to be unleashed in November.
Here's @rickhasen.bsky.social detailing the scenario in which Trump uses search warrant to seize ballot boxes in a contested 2026 locale. This is more worrisome than ICE at the polls. Hasen also suggests ways to act against this now.

It's harrowing stuff:
