Remembering when I ran into a Trump volunteer in Scranton right before the election who told me he backed Trump because he wanted to keep his grandson out of war and then it turned out that he was also a former GOP legislator who'd been convicted of perjury related to campaign finance violations.

After The New York Daily News called the Trump administration "the most powerful crime syndicate in history," MS NOW's Lawrence O'Donnell explains why a new poll shows more voters believe Donald Trump is covering up Jeffrey Epstein's crimes.

I have been saying this for almost a year and it is long past due for Dems to adopt this framing for 2 reasons:

1) it is entirely and demonstrably true.

2) the public must be prepared for the enormity of what will be required to dismantle the criminal organization and create a better democracy.

“The most powerful crime syndicate in history”
James Speyer, writing in The New York Daily News, says: It is time to acknowledge what has become tragically obvious: the Trump administration is essentially acting as a massive criminal enterprise. It lies, steals, extorts and murders — all while cloaked in the awesome authority of the state. It is on a crime spree that puts Al Capone to shame.

New via WSJ: French modeling scout Jean-Luc Brunel was secretly negotiating in 2016 with lawyers representing Epstein's victims, according to DOJ files.

Brunel's lawyer told them his client recruited girls for Epstein and had incriminating photographs.

Then Brunel went dark.

Sincere question and not a conspiracy theory. Was anyone else aware that Warner Brothers is currently producing a real time reality show with the Pima County Sheriff’s Office? I have seen zero discussion about it anywhere, yet it is clearly happening.

Of course Hakeem Jeffries has taken money from the surveillance company and pro-genocidal PALANTIR.

Of course he has.
Volunteer with @purgepalantir.bsky.social asks Hakeem Jeffries if he'd refund $25,000 from Palantir.

Jeffries says he doesn't believe he's taken money from them, but would look. Jeffries has indeed taken $25K from Palantir executives per FEC filings.

Palantir has powered ICE & the Israeli military

Howard Lutnick claimed he never spent time with Jeffrey Epstein.
Lutnick’s name appears in more than 250 Epstein-related documents released by the DOJ.

Accountability cannot depend on your title or your proximity to power.

Howard Lutnick should resign.

Trash. Absolute trash.

Someone post a list of progressives running in KS this year because I want to donate money and amplify.
The Kansas legislature has overridden the veto and passed a bathroom ban with a bounty provision.

This bill also directs the Kansas DMV to revoke the driver's licenses of trans people, the first state to pass such a law.

I have been thinking about this a lot.
Publicists who represented Johnny Depp during his 2022 trial against Amber Heard charged Jeffrey Epstein five figures a month for representation during 2017, according to invoices in the Epstein Files. Their PR strategies for Epstein reflect the later MeToo backlash. spitfirenews.com/p/epstein-jo...
