BREAKING:
Democrat Renee Hardman just won a special election for the Iowa State Senate, according to the AP — a result that prevents Republicans from reclaiming a supermajority in the chamber.

Large law firms are siding with Trump over their clients and employees. Let me give you one statistic to exemplify this:
DOJ is suing 22 states for access to sensitive voter data.
My firm of 60 lawyers is fighting in all 22.
Not a single big law firm is fighting along side us in any case.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis diverted more than $35 MILLION in taxpayer dollars to defeat two ballot initiatives last year.
I’ve got the @miamiherald.com‘s blockbuster reporting on how DeSantis cheated needy Floridians and children from their already-earmarked funds.

It appears the whole Putin “Ukraine tried to kill me with 91 drones last night” was entirely made up. And of course Trump repeated it and said he was mad at Ukraine.
Nightly Russia launched drones and missiles at innocent people.
And tried to Kill Zelensky every day

I guess one thing this year has shown is that when you appoint social media trolls to senior government positions because of their social media trolling you are inevitably going to end up with senior government officials trolling social media.

Given the amount of redactions, disappearing photos and documents in the Epstein files, I’m convinced Trump “authorized” the murder of Epstein to protect himself and his billionaire “friends.”
I also think he had Ivana killed.
This is what mob bosses do and Trump is a mob boss.

How we beat back the corporate takeover of America:
1. Break up corporate monopolies
2. Continue building union power
3. End Citizens United and get big money out of politics
Let’s keep working to unrig the system.

I’m extremely concerned by reports the Trump administration destroyed a facility during a covert action in Venezuela.
If this was done without Gang of Eight oversight, it’s a serious violation of federal law and a dangerous escalation that pushes us closer to war: www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcn...

Trump says the U.S. took out a 'big facility' in Venezuela amid strikes on alleged drug boats
The president did not provide details about the apparent strike, which NBC News has not independently confirmed.

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.
