Just a thought:

Why don't the Epstein survivors get together and say "Release un-redacted files in on week else we'll name names. Sue us and the files will be in discovery anyway."

They've nothing to lose. Or am I missing something?

The Epstein Transparency Act required the release of ALL Epstein files yesterday, not just some of them. Pam Bondi has broken the law.
Arrest Pamela Bondi now.

What the actual fuck? The DEADLINE was yesterday. Sure Dems, come on out and tell us how they broke the law by not releasing all the documents, redacting hundreds of pages, and adding photos of Bill Clinton that had nothing to do with Epstein. Where are the US Marshalls? The DEADLINE was yesterday.

This week, Professor James Hansen and colleagues published projections that the global temperature record could reach +1.7°C by 2027.
And if that number lands in your gut the way it landed in mine, good. It should.

Mike Johnson has lost control of the House, as we continue to push through petitions to force the votes he tries so hard to run from.

Congress may be closed for the Holiday, but their inboxes aren’t. Let’s flood them with messages and urge them to vote yes on extending ACA tax credits!

Since his appointment, RFK Jr. has pursued a brutal vision of American health that several experts liken to a sort of eugenics. Kennedy has made it clear that certain deaths are acceptable or even preferable to a world where every child is vaccinated.

Mike Johnson was pissed that we pushed a petition through and are forcing a vote on extended ACA tax credits. He just can’t stop losing.

But right now we need your help. We need everyone to contact Congress and tell them to get it done:

According to federal law, domestic terrorist activities involve “ideologically driven crimes committed by individuals in the U.S. that are intended to intimidate or coerce a civilian population or influence the policy or conduct of a government." When will the regime be formally classified as such?

Khanna: Congress is talking about possible impeachment. They're talking about inherent contempt for the attorney general or deputy attorney general—any justice department official who has obstructed justice could face prosecution in this administration or a future administration.
