He knows they have the votes to filibuster in the Senate.

Or they have successfully destroyed everything showing he knew all about what Epstein was doing.

Your daily reminder that the fossil fuel industry is propped up by billions of dollars in U.S. government subsidies and a multimillion dollar campaign to spread climate disinformation. 💵

It’s kinda wild the President is openly corrupt, Nazi sympathizing, and very likely a pedophile—and most Republicans in Congress are still willing to ignore the Constitution whenever he asks.

Coons on Epstein files: "My hunch is that AG Bondi, having just been ordered on social media by the president to open an investigation into a series of high-profile Dems, will promptly say, 'No, there's an ongoing investigation, we can't disclose any of this,' and the president will back that up."

Let’s be clear: The DOJ has already been subpoenaed. They’re legally obligated to release the full Epstein files—and they’re still dragging their feet.

It’s a shame we’ve even gotten to the point of needing a discharge petition.

The court issues a scathing ruling today in the Comey case. Judge William Fitzpatrick notes, among other things, that Lindsey Halligan made two false statements of the law when responding to questions by grand jurors. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

The only way to fight authoritarianism is to organize the people impacted by bad policy.

Hubble has returned to the ‘Lost Galaxy’, a spiral galaxy about 50 million light-years away in the constellation Virgo.

Its nickname comes from the fact that it’s extremely faint when viewed through a small telescope. Not the case for Hubble though!

BREAKING: Magistrate orders DOJ to turn over grand jury materials to Comey, finding real prospect that "government misconduct" may have tainted the case.

Why Trump’s sudden agreement that the Epstein material be released?

Likely getting advice to:

1. The vote damn near inevitable…so moving ahead of it reduces damage

2. By endorsing release, he hopes to flip the narrative and relieve pressure.

3. Trying to pre-empt more hostile disclosures.

FEAR.

The Honduran-born Charlotte resident filed a police report after the officers let him go.

Racial profiling, no warrant, no due process; but what else can one expect from a regime committing extrajudicial murder on the high seas?
