Q: “To the extent members of Congress are up in arms this happened to them, who should be held accountable?”

JACK SMITH: “Trump. He directed his co-conspirators to call them to delay the proceedings.”

As @MarshaBlackburn @SenatorHagerty try to take millions from taxpayers. 🤔

The greatest and often unreported irony here is that the Alt-Right's WHOLE FUCKING PITCH to young men was "get your shit together, hit the gym, help us turn this country around, and you will be swimming in women" only for "Who did you vote for in '24?" to be the inflection point of their loneliness.

Everyone has a list of so-called "red flags" when they're dating. And for some, especially younger Americans, different political views is a relationship deal breaker.

So “a million more documents” is now “roughly 5.2 million pages of Epstein files documents”

And they’re “seeking to enlist about 400 lawyers” to do doc review, which means they don’t even have the people yet to get it done

Trump & Pamela Jo are just slow-walking the shit out of violating the law.

THE DAY CARES ARE LOCKED BECAUSE YOU MADE A GENERATION-LONG EFFORT TO MAKE IT AS EASY AS POSSIBLE TO KILL THE CHILDREN INSIDE THEM YOU ABSOLUTE FUCKING GHOULS
these fucking people. they pass laws to make sure every person with a screw loose who wants an Armalite can show up to the day care armed & ready to kill, then complain that the day cares are locked to protect the children inside
CNN: “Surely you don’t think a daycare should be unlocked.”

SHIRLEY: “There should be a reception area.”

CNN: “No, every day care is locked.”

SHIRLEY: “Fair point.” 🤔

He shows up to a day care with masked men and wonders why they don’t let him in.

I find it really galling when stupid people think you’re even stupider than they are.

I mean, I don’t mind geniuses thinking I’m dumb. They have a point.

But these guys thinking we’ll believe this? Gross.
Dr Oz on Trump lowering drug prices: "We woke the industry up to the fact that we were aware of what was happening. They said, 'Alright. The gig's up. You figured it out. We're gonna come down with our pricing.'"

Trump granted clemency to the biggest Medicare fraudster in history. Well, the guy was just re-arrested and charged with domestic violence. Here, via @motherjones.com, is the wild, sordid tale of how Phil Esformes made a fortune screwing taxpayers and nursing home residents.

All based on a “gotcha” video claiming that 3 daycares had no kids. One hadn’t opened yet for the day; one is actually closed. Dude arrived with no I.D. No call ahead. They DIDN’T LET HIM IN!

The fraud they’re referencing was investigated & prosecuted by the Biden DOJ. The ringleader was white.
This is monstrous. He wants to turn the residents of the state against Walz and against the Somali-American population.
BREAKING

The Trump administration says it has frozen all childcare payments to Minnesota in the aftermath of allegations of fraud by some in the Somali community.

Important: allegations along these lines have existed for years, which has resulted in prosecutions starting with the Biden DOJ.

Reminder that years ago it was found out that the FBI straight up made up a whole bunch of fake forensic sciences, plural. People have gone to jail and been executed due to literally pseudoscience.

Hair forensics, for instance, is totally nonsense.

They admitted it.

USPS quietly changed its postmark rules — mail is no longer dated when you drop it off. The “official” date is when it hits automated sorting — sometimes days later

Which could have major implications for mail in voting — it’s a clever way to disenfranchise voters that’s going largely overlooked

The oligarchs are by definition already rightwing.

Stop making excuses for the leeches in the wealth class.
The dilemma for Dems is that going full-bore on AI regulation permanently puts most of the richest people in the country in the GOP camp. That's a real problem in a post-Citizens United world.
something very important for Dems to realize is that the tech overlords are not people you can win back by promising a lighter touch and saying a few nice things

they’ve gotten a taste of mask-off fascism and they are not going back, they don’t want to play nice with the peons anymore
