If Congress won't release the Epstein files, we will do our own investigation ...

2 #nmleg lawmakers outlined their "truth commission" proposal to investigate what took place at Epstein's ranch in Santa Fe County & the failure to hold people involved accountable

New Mexico lawmakers propose 'truth commission' on Epstein, alleged sex abuse at his former Santa Fe County ranch

But what unfolded at Zorro Ranch has not been thoroughly investigated, said Democratic state Reps. Andrea Romero and Marianna Anaya.

Tonight was the inaugural ride of our new home buyout program. We connect with vendors too scared to be out, and we purchase from them at home. Tonight we bought 250 tamales, divided into 3 teams to deliver all over the city to folks on the street, Love Fridges, and a youth shelter.

A family friend was telling us about what her husband shared about his experience in Broadview before he was deported back to Mexico. She's been sharing to friends and family because she's just in disbelief & horror what her husband told her. She wasn't able to talk to him until he was in Mexico.

"Beyond being the 24th consecutive grant of emergency relief to the Trump administration, the cryptic ruling in Orr is a reminder of just how bankrupt the Court’s proffered justifications are in these cases—both legally and in other ways, too."

Me on today's ugly #SCOTUS ruling in Trump v. Orr:

189. The Breezy Inequity of Trump v. Orr

The Supreme Court's latest grant of emergency relief to the Trump administration illustrates in technicolor the direct (and ugly) consequences of the two different ways it keeps messing up "equity."

For the first time, the United States refuses to submit to scrutiny of its human rights record.

RFI @rfi.fr · 12h

Pour la première fois, les États-Unis refusent de se soumettre à l'analyse de leurs actions sur les droits humains

Comme tous les États membres de l'ONU, les États-Unis auraient normalement dû rendre leur copie au Conseil des droits de l'homme des Nations unies pour son examen périodique universel prévu vendredi 7 novembre dans l'après-midi. Mais l'administration Trump, qui en a claqué la porte, ne s'est pas donné cette peine. Une première dans l'histoire de l'institution qui en dit long sur le nouveau rapport qu'entretiennent les États-Unis avec le droit international.

I heard some old friends at Pod Save America were in town, so I decided to stop by. As we saw this week, we can change this country for the better. But it’s going to take all of us getting organized and having honest conversations about the best way forward.

I will never stop being mad that the NYTimes continues to handsomely pay someone to write about American conservatism who was capable of being so obviously and egregiously wrong about it.

This is Adelita Grijalva. She was elected 43 days ago.

Republicans still refuse to swear her in because she is the final vote needed to release the Epstein Files.

The majority of Americans are good. We have heart. We have compassion. When we see others struggle, we want to lend a hand.

For too long, we’ve been divided and pitted against each other by those who crave obscene wealth and power.

Let’s change that. One election at a time.
