Don’t stop talking about the Epstein Files. I feel like the tides are about to shift over this. Let’s hope it happens soon. Epstein isn’t going away.

#ReleaseAllTheEpsteinFiles

Donald Trump is in the Epstein Files and everyone knows it.

Trump has been illegally bombing boats off the coast of Venezuela.

Tim Kaine and Adam Schiff forced a vote on reasserting Congress's role over war powers and ending this reckless
warmongering.

It failed 48-51.

Murkowski and Paul voted yes.

Fetterman voted no.

If a person whose job it is to swear someone in refuses to do his job, why doesn’t someone else take over? Or why doesn’t he get removed from his position? It would happen anywhere else. It’s ridiculous. Someone grab a Bible and swear her in already.

Senator Bernie Sanders @sanders.senate.gov · 12h

Adelita Grijalva won her election fair and square.

Now House Speaker Mike Johnson is refusing to swear her in because she would be the final signature to release the Epstein files.

Mr. Speaker, respect democracy. Obey the law. Swear Representative Grijalva in immediately.

He is murdering innocent civilians at home and abroad. Tearing families apart. Killing through negligence. Starving millions by withholding food. And killing millions more by not delivering medicines, making them unaffordable, and by halting life-saving research.

He needs to be stopped.

President Gustavo Petro of Colombia said his government believed one of the boats recently bombed by the United States in its campaign against alleged drug traffickers had been carrying Colombian citizens, not drug traffickers.

I'm on the slowest bus line in the city with the slowest buses in the nation to talk to New Yorkers about what it would mean for their lives if we made them fast and free.

"For the first time since the civil rights era, the president of the United States is sending in troops over the objection of a local state. The big difference between now and the civil rights era is that the president is doing that based on their desire for power only."

Today, Senator Kaine and I will force the Senate to vote on the administration’s decision to blow up ships in the Caribbean.

If a president can unilaterally put people or groups on a list and kill them, there is no meaningful limit to his use of force.

It's been two weeks since Adelita Grijalva was elected and Mike Johnson has still refused to seat her, unlike in past cases where he swore in new members within 24 hours.

There cannot be one set of rules for Rs and another for Ds.

Also, release the damn Epstein files already.

The scenes out of Chicago should outrage us all. These federal agents are out of control, committing senseless acts of violence & putting everyone at risk.

American citizens are being detained & brutalized.

This kind of immigration "enforcement" shouldn't be acceptable to anyone.

Immigration agents become increasingly aggressive in Chicago

Activists, residents and elected leaders say increasingly combative tactics used by federal immigration agents are sparking violence and fueling neighborhood tensions in the nation’s third-largest cit...

My dad would have been 82 today. He died when he was only 46. Happy Birthday!

That’s now 8 years younger than I am today. I understand him so much more now than I did when he was still alive. I see him more as a whole person rather than as just my dad. I think kids often don’t know how to do that.

Um, ICE just coldly shot an unarmed PRIEST in the head w a pepper ball when he (and everyone around him) clearly posed no threat.

For the crime of … complaining about government policy.

Yes. As long as Texas peacefully leaves, that would be great. If they don’t, we have civil war. Imagine being the mom or SO or child of one of those national guard troops now.
