In the wake of the Epstein fight, Rep. Adelita Grijalva has become a voice for sexual assault survivors.
"Advocacy for people that feel like they don't have a voice has always been something that I'm very comfortable with. I think that it is our responsibility."

'I can get loud': Adelita Grijalva becomes a voice for sexual assault survivors
The Arizona Democrat is the least senior member of Congress, but she was thrust into the spotlight as her fight to be seated coincided with the Epstein saga.

Trump to Ukraine: “surrender now!“ and to Putin “your every wish is granted.”
Russia wrote the Trump plan, which is really the Putin plan. And Ukraine is being threatened with an end to all US support if it does not surrender by Thanksgiving.

Another Trump promise with much hype and fanfare when it was announced as a "HUGE WIN" for farmers that didn't happen. Incidentally, we made concessions to the Chinese for this "deal." bsky.app/profile/atru...
CNBC: My understanding is the White House said that China was gonna buy 12 million tons of soybeans from the US by January. That's approaching and they've only purchased 332,000. China has not confirmed that pledge.

How embarrassing.
Administration sources were all-in on this Russian wishlist until it was revealed that it was an *actual* Russian wishlist and not just the worst possible peace plan for Ukraine.

Let's think about why the Russians leaked it and why Trump is pushing for it at this particular moment. Could they think his days in the White House are numbered and they need to grab whatever they can?

NEW: Sean Duffy frequently calls safety his “top priority” as transportation secretary. But I spent months wading through regulatory notices and found something far different: that USDOT has been delaying, weakening and killing dozens of safety rules, many opposed by the transportation industry.🧵

The Trump gang is really going soft on Nazism.
Exclusive: The U.S. Coast Guard will no longer classify the swastika, nooses and the Confederate flag as hate symbols.
The military service drafted a new policy that classifies them as “potentially divisive.”

Any news organization that doesn't stand up, and very strongly (which the Bloomberg response also does not) against Trump's ridiculous bullying of their employees, had better take a hard look at its mission and duty to the public.

Yesterday, Trump defended the Saudi Crown Prince in the Oval Office.
He said he had “nothing” to do with the murder of Jamal Khashoggi.
But I reviewed a call while serving on Trump’s NSC that I believe would be of interest to the Khashoggi family and the American people.
Release the transcript.
