Julie K. Brown is a reporter for the Miami Herald who did groundbreaking work on Epstein beginning in 2018, including groundbreaking work on the disgusting coverup by Alex Acosta.

Her travel itinerary was released with some of the Epstein files. It appears the DOJ was monitoring her in 2019.

The DOJ was only supposed to redact victims’ identities. Why did Bondi’s DOJ redact evidence that Epstein and his co-defendants were covering up their sex trafficking crimes? Congress must both ask Bondi who she is protecting and impeach her. www.instagram.com/reel/DSnMph6...

Let me summarize for you-despite huge cuts that they don’t agree with because it devastates their way of life, the article basically says the Montana voters are “waiting to see” how this all plays out.
No, this is EXACTLY what they voted for.

They saw it before and they voted for it again, even after knowing about Project 2025 and what that plan outlined.

They chose not to believe Project 2025 existed or that Trump was involved in it.

BREAKING:

Republican-led House and Senate committees say they will amplify their scrutiny of the Pentagon after a WaPo report revealing that Pete Hegseth gave a spoken order to kill all crew members aboard a vessel suspected of smuggling drugs in the Caribbean several weeks ago.

Thing is, we DID hear about it at his confirmation hearing.

Every single senator who voted to confirm Hegseth knew he held these views about the laws of war.

They voted to confirm him anyway.
Everyone should read this terrifying thread about Hegseth’s published views wrt war crimes. It’s pretty fucking radical …. We needed to hear about this in his confirmation hearing.
A chapter in Hegseth’s book is literally titled “More Lethality, Less Lawyers.”

It’s almost as if there were signs!

Is it good when the President is saying this video, reminding the military that they have a duty to uphold the law, is seditious?

Don't believe them."This about-face was not just an action by eight Senators. Durbin, is the number two member of the party in that chamber..He worked hand in glove with Schumer for years. Schumer made noises like he opposed the move, don’t believe them. This was a carefully orchestrated retreat."
A snap poll shows that David Rothkopf speaks for 80% of all Democrats, including me. This humiliating about-face was clearly not just an action taken by eight isolated Senators. One of those Senators, Durbin, is the number two member of the party in that chamber of our legislature.
Why These Vichy Dems and Their Spineless Boss Need to Go Now
We need courage and clarity from our leaders. Schumer and these eight in the Senate have shown they have failed that test. Time to turn the page.

agreeing to make a terrible deal while your main opponent is quite literally being boo'd on live tv by an entire stadium of people is the kind of political instinct you'd normally only find in a 3 week old dead goldfish

Democrats have to stop bailing out Republicans from facing the consequences of their own policies. And yeah, that means they have to stop sparing voters from experiencing what GOP government truly means.

Every time Dems step in, it only emboldens the GOP & they make it even worse the next time.
So Democrats get:

1. A CR that will prevent the GOP from facing the wrath of Americans for a shutdown over the holidays

2. A coupon for one (1) meaningless ACA vote that will fail

3. An end to the illegal RIF/SNAP moves that are already before the courts

Those all seem like wins for the GOP.

Chris Murphy: "There will be pretty substantial damage to a Dem brand that has been rehabilitated if on the heels of an election in which the people told us to keep fighting, we immediately stop... if we surrender without having gotten anything, I worry it'll be hard to get them back up off the mat"

This is ridiculous and infuriating. Schumer can't lead and has to go-Democrats look so spineless, weak and stupid-not sure what the point of the whole shutdown was if we didn't get a guarantee on the aca subsidies.

Do NOT Cave!
Democrats just swept the off-year elections -- and not just in blue states -- a resounding rejection of Republicans' authoritarian bullshit. It is an insult to Democratic voters, marketplace enrollees, and everyone who turned out on Tuesday for Schumer and Jeffries to cave.
Sounds like the squishes in the senate caucus are ready to pull the plug with no ACA changes. This is real. If you want to register your opinion you shld call yr senator in the next hour. They not only want to reopen w/nothing. They want cover from their colleagues who still want to hold out.

This is because Intuit, Inc. gave Donald Trump $1,000,000 for his "inauguration." Intuit owns Turbo Tax, which makes money off charging taxpayers to file their returns.

The corruption is rampant and in plain sight.

Millions of working Americans employed by big corporations rely on SNAP, with certain companies accounting for significant shares of recipients. Maybe if these big corporations paid workers enough instead of throwing money at Trump, they wouldn’t need SNAP. 🔄
