CNN: “Trump’s name is mentioned over 1000 times, why not make him testify?”

@RepJamesComer: “He gets asked about it in press gaggles… Bill Clinton…”

Deeply pathetic stuff. The pedophile protection ring continues.

“Can I prove that? No.”

Spineless Speaker Johnson obediently helps Trump attack our democracy by peddling The Big Lie. A profile in cowardice and treachery.

He knows damn well mail-in ballots counted late is completely above board.

First Draft: 🤬 ‘Epstein Is a Democrat Problem’

Trump pins his former bestie’s sprawling pedophile ring on liberal lawmakers, the NFL tells bigots to pound sand, and MAGA declares war on… the Federalist Society?

Between Putin and Trump, a similarity born of hatred, contempt and revisionism
Both ideologically and in the methods they used to achieve their goals, the Russian and American presidents display similarities that spark grave concerns for democracy across the Atlantic.

⚠️ A vast #majority of #Republicans still support Trump’s #aggressive immigration #crackdown, which led to the killing of two protesters in #Minneapolis last month, new polls show.

➡️ But a small, and growing, share of Republicans now say that enforcement has gone too far, the polls reveal.⬅️

ICE is being turned down all over the country from being able to build detention centers. But the truth is they probably would detain the construction workers after the projects are completed. 🔄 🤬

Sen. Mark Kelly: "Right now they need to get out of Minneapolis & really reevaluate what this agency agency should be. Kristi Noem needs to be fired, by the way. That's a good starting point here. And the senior leadership there, the ones who have implemented these policies, these people need to go"

Wrote two reviews today - one long and one very short. At some point while reading the short one I wrote a complex sentence that summed up everything so perfectly I had nothing else to add. That was a first.

Now I have two very difficult reviews to do, both for books I loved. #BookSky #BookReviews

Crockett: "Now my colleagues want to be the protectors of girls & women. I didn't hear them screaming this when Renee Good was killed in the middle of the street by the same people the vast majority of you just voted to give more money to. It was a lot of crickets, including about the Esptein files"

Thousands showed up in Seattle—nurses, doctors, educators—people who heal and protect life. Congress is voting to fund ICE instead of care. The public is choosing dignity and health. Lawmakers should listen.
