None of this feels normal to me. Billionaires buying elections and the lawless running the show. Distortion of truth until people are stunned and brainwashed. Toxic masculinity glorified. Unrecognizable. Unacceptable.
Unevolved.

House Oversight Democrats are demanding Oversight Republicans hold a hearing with Pam Bondi to examine the DOJ's "botched release" of the Epstein files.

"Let's be clear: Pam Bondi and the Department of Justice are breaking the law every single day the Epstein files are kept from the public."

Posts may be a bit more sporadic from me today as my kids are home from school because my city is being brutalized by the federal government to the extent that it's unsafe for schools to be open

The woman murdered in cold blood in Minneapolis today by ICE on behalf of Trump was not, as Sec. Noem, a "domestic terrorist." ICE agents were the domestic terrorists here—and they work for her, and ultimately him.

I’m running for Congress in NY-12, my home.

We have a demented, criminal president running the country like a mob operation—government by the boss, for the boss.

We need Democratic fighters who will defend the rule of law and deliver government by the people. Join us.

🚨BREAKING: DOJ admits it has only released 12,285 documents required by Epstein Files Transparency Act. More than 2 million documents still need to be reviewed/released. DOJ is in violation of federal law that required release by Dec. 19.

I think the Greenland threat is a troll. I think.

But it would sure be nice for some senators and GOP house members to speak up now and make it clear that an attack on a nato ally would lead to removal from office

Yes. And I spent this weekend curating the 34 most important exchanges in the Jack Smith testimony here youtube.com/live/6a1TCDY... and then filed a response to DoJ in federal court over release of the Epstein redaction training videos here youtube.com/live/c3NVDAQ...
Two things were happening as Trump decided to launch his imperial strike on Venezuela. One was the DOJ filing w/the court explanations for their redactions in the Epstein files they released. The other was Jim Jordan’s release of the transcript of Jack Smith’s testimony.

So I read the transcript.

Trump's malice is off the charts. He has moved from threatening individuals to threatening populations. Those with Cluster B personality disorders are devoid of good. They always get worse. Always. He really is a black hole. And, the thing he hates the most? His own decline.

Trump's actions in Venezuela fit with his desire to divert attention from his failures at home: his losses in the courts, his unpopular budget bill, skyrocketing health insurance premiums, the cost of living crisis, etc.

When he feels humiliated, he gets reckless.

Understand what's going on.

He’s out of control. He’s deranged. This is the opposite of what he promised America when he ran for president. He said he’d focus on *us*.
