I grew up going to Zabar's. So many of my childhood memories center around the best lox in NYC (which is saying something). With Saul Zabar's passing today, the Upper West Side has lost a legend who turned his parent's humble store into a culinary institution.

RAJU: You swore in 2 GOP members during pro forma session. Why not swear in Grijalva? Does it have to do w/her signature on Epstein petition?

JOHNSON: It has nothing to do with that. We'll swear her in when everybody is back

R: Why not now?

J: Uh - we'll schedule it, I guess, as soon as she wants

This is Adelita Grijalva.

She was elected to Congress two weeks ago, officially making her the final vote needed to force the release of the Epstein files.

She has still not been sworn in because Mike Johnson refuses to do so.

This whole business is a sadistic grift.

"My mind always goes back to Loretta Lynch getting on the plane with Bill Clinton, who wasn't even president at the time, and this becoming the most world-shattering scandal." Bondi has dinner with Trump the night before the Comey indictment? Eh.

It is time for people to start posting pictures of these losers and have people identify them. People complain about sex offenders living among them. How about putting the same scorn on these thugs and their families. We don’t have to be violent. We just need them to feel outed and not able to hide.

This strikes me as pretty bad

America’s Goebbels wanna be, is just a boorish little man.

“The gangbangers that you deal with, they think that they’re ruthless …. They think they’re tough … They think that they’re hardcore. We are so much more hardcore than they are.”

4’10” allegedly 😉

You can joke about Pam Bondi’s ridiculous unprofessionalism all you want, but I’m deeply shocked by it: She acts as if she fears absolutely no consequences, convinced that there will be no more political power transfers. — This should shake everyone to their core.

🛑 STOP THE PRESS:

🚨 The GOP is still refusing to swear in Grijalva, *who yields the power to cast the vote needed TO RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES.*

🔊 STOP DECLARING WAR ON AMERICANS

🔊 REOPEN THE GOVNT

🔊 SWEAR IN GRIJALVA

🔊 RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES

🆘🇺🇸

He is a lying pig.

Power to the People! Chicago! ✊🏼💙 Keep Fightin! Fvck ICE Gestapo n Taco n his Cult! #chicago #iceout

Can’t even imagine!

which one had the experience to do their job?

Sex traffickers should face consequences for their crimes. No more backroom deals.

We must pass my Courtney Wild Reinforcing Crime Victims' Rights Act to hold Epstein's accomplices accountable and ensure sex traffickers get more than a slap on the wrist.

SenatorWarnock just broke it down: health care is on the line.

A Chatham County family once paid $559/month for coverage—now it’s $2,100 after GOP subsidy cuts. QUADRUPLE the cost just to stay insured.

I refuse to let hopelessness prevail. This may just be one essay, by a lawyer few have heard of, in a newsletter read by a fraction of the public. But I will not stay silent.

Will you?
