WHITEHOUSE: How many suspicious activity reports did you investigate out of the hundreds related to accounts of Jeffrey Epstein?

BONDI: I'm not sure if you're concerned, because you took money I believe from Reid Hoffman, if that's correct

WHITEHOUSE: You seem to have looked at 0 of them

If Democrats want to win, they’ll need to put delivering good jobs and holding corporations accountable at the center of everything they do and say.

Economic Populism Is the Key to Rust Belt Votes

A new study found that progressive economic populism can win back Rust Belt voters—inside the Democratic Party where necessary, outside it where possible.

The rich and the right have really pulled off a propaganda coup. I live in a Trump supporting town and people are sick with worry over what the undocumented are allegedly stealing from them and seemingly unaware that it is the billionaire class that is responsible for the problems they face.

bkeithb @bkeithb.bsky.social · 10h

In wage-theft alone, #billionaires steal from U.S. workers between $15-$50 billion/yr.

Undocumented #workers in the U.S. contribute between $30–$35 billion/yr. in combined federal, state, and local taxes.

#ImmigrantsAreNotTheEnemy
#OligarchsAreTheEnemy

Act accordingly.

I think her instincts tell her that many former Trump supporters are feeling betrayed and not following him in lock step is good for her political future.Whatever her reasons,I hope she inspires more rebellion among the few Republicans who still have some spine left.

Colorado just became the first state to cap the price of a prescription drug. What comes next is uncertain.

The Colorado Prescription Drug Affordability Review Board imposed a first-in-the-nation price cap on the drug Enbrel, starting in 2017.
