Sen. Ruben Gallego: "Mike Johnson is holding Congress out of session for two reasons: number one, so that way there are no negotiations; and number two, to cover for all the pedophiles on Epstein's list...They're covering for pedophiles and dropping your healthcare coverage."

The simple truth is that Trump is a criminal. Now he and his accomplices are back in power, and they’re using that power to smear the honest agents and prosecutors who investigated them. www.thebulwark.com/p/bondi-host...

Bondi to Congress: 🖕

The attorney general came to the Hill to deliver a message to Democrats: Your ‘oversight’ couldn't matter to us less.

This is exactly what we need. This is it.

"New York City Council member Chi Ossé, a close ally of Zohran Mamdani, is privately discussing a run against House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.)"

Scoop: Mamdani ally weighs challenging Hakeem Jeffries

Just talking about a potential campaign could drive a further wedge between Mamdani — the democratic socialist in line to be New York's next mayor — and Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.)

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson: "This president is unstable, unhinged, a double-minded individual that quite frankly is a threat to our democracy. It's certainly not the first time that Donald Trump has called for the arresting of a Black man unjustly."

Also in this interview, “If I’m not mistaken getting to 16 teams next season will make us the largest league in the world.”

Berman is mistaken, Liga MX Femenil — who the NWSL partnered with last year for the Summer Cup — has 18 teams.

“JN: Do you have a target in mind for when you'd hit full maturity in terms of league size?
JB: It's a little too soon for us to make that determination. If I'm not mistaken, getting to 16 teams next season, I believe, will make us the largest league in the world. We do have plans to continue for
2028. All of that will continue to be analysed and calibrated through the lens of making sure that we're maintaining the quality of our product.”

Trump would rather burn down the country than release the Epstein Files.

Over 80% of voters want it released.

Virginia State Senate Dems just brought down fire and fury regarding the “Compact,” notifying the President and Rector that UVA would lose ALL STATE APPROPRIATIONS if it signs and cedes the University to “federal political control.” Notably, their letter directly restates points made here by @siva.

Siva @sivav.bsky.social · 13h

The “compact” for higher ed is an unserious document written by unserious people from a position of spectacular ignorance. No one should take it seriously. Sadly, my bosses are taking it seriously.

I wrote legal editorials for the Post for a hot minute many years ago, and I was constantly anxious about making sure I got the details right. This editorial is just humiliating for everyone involved

I spent more than a decade at The Post. It was good to me and I was proud to work there. I’ve largely refrained from being critical since I left. But this framing of the special counsel probe is embarrassing and flatly wrong. Stunning, but not. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

Gov. Josh Shapiro: "I respect the Canadian people and Canada's sovereignty... When POTUS bullies Canada, threatens to make them the 51st state, belittles them, undermines their sovereignty, that undermines the interests of our farmers and the people who work in our factories."
