I was just denied entry to the Dilley detention facility while my constituent, seven-year-old Diana, remains inside.

What kind of sick, horrific conditions are children being forced to endure in there?

I will be back tomorrow. Accountability can’t wait.

AOC on the Kennedy Center: The renaming is completely illegitimate. All they did was screw some nameplates onto the building. That’s coming right off. Enjoy your name on there for a year or two, but that’s getting ripped right out.

👀 Apparently, Ross Douthat invited Seth Harp to debate him on Douthat's "Interesting Times" NYT podcast. Harp says that the episode was recorded, Douthat got crushed, and RD/NYT decided not to publish it.

As I note in my piece, these are ACTUAL questions that NBC News's Tom Llamas asked Donald Trump in his 'extended' interview, while not asking a single question about Epstein, or challenging him on a single lie.

Last time, it took Senile Satan four years and an attack on the US Capitol to hit these poll numbers. That’s the bar. On the floor.

Greetings are found across the animal kingdom. Goodbyes, on the other hand, were long seen as uniquely human. That understanding may be changing. www.newyorker.com/culture/anna...

What he means is he has no plan and just does things to help himself only.
🤮 Trump says his unpredictability gives him leverage. But it’s starting to wear on both allies and adversaries who view Trump as mercurial and unreliable; waiting him out or turning away from him rather than enduring the abrupt starts, stops, humiliations that can accompany engaging with him.

"Why Is the Media Not Touching Jeffrey Epstein’s Clear Connection to Israel?"

They’re instead focusing on the possibility that Epstein was a Russian asset, writes Prem Thakker for Zeteo.

JUST IN: A federal judge has barred ICE and DHS from using taxpayer information provided by the IRS.

Judge Talwani says that DHS' view that noncitizens lack 4th amendment rights — combined with ICE use of administrative warrants — is a recipe for abuse.
