Anyway, I get every side of this, but I don't secretly hate Democrats because I want them to strengthen their opposition. Zohran, those that pushed for the Epstein Files release, the Tesla protesters and No Kings all prove that loudly changing the conversation can piss off and stall these fascists.

Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche said the DOJ is delaying the release of the Epstein files, violating a new federal law. Blanche claimed it needs more time for redactions to protect victims, despite already having had a 30-day window to do so.

I want to take a moment to thank the entire Elias Law Group team who worked on the Texas redistricting case as well as our fearless clients. The thirteen Black and Latino voters we represented stood up to challenge Texas's unprecedented mid-decade redistricting. We all ow them a debt of gratitude.

Newsom: "Think about the state of mind of the VP. How do you square the circle when you go to a prayer breakfast? Old testament, new testament.
