President Donald Trump urged Republicans to seize control of elections and place voting under national authority Monday — one of his most explicit signals yet that he plans to interfere with the workings of democracy. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
Trump: ‘We should take over the voting’

DOJ is apparently taking all this time & violating the Transparency Act deadline in order to protect criminals, not the victims.
BREAKING: The Department of Justice left multiple unredacted photos of fully nude women or girls exposed as part of Friday’s dump of more than 3.5 million pages of files related to the investigations and prosecutions of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislane Maxwell.
DOJ Released Unredacted Nude Images in Epstein Files
A note from investigators in the files said some images Epstein had were "POSSIBLE CSAM."

Following latest Epstein files, at least two legal paths to accountability are available:

Congress and NY and other state/local prosecutors can now take up the charge.

I explained the roadmap⬇️

ICE agents can stop anyone they suspect of being undocumented. Now, many Minnesotans are weighing their rights and their pride against their own safety. “I have a passport, but it’s paper, not a shield.”

If all these oligarchs named in the Epstein Files are totally innocent, surely they’d be in favor of an independent investigation into Epstein’s crimes.

Right?

Oh look, according to Peter Attia MD “pussy is low carb” something that is totally normal for a doctor to say to Epstein, who had previously been convicted of procuring a child for prostitution

Bill Barr had the reporter who broke the Epstein story surveilled. Nothing to see here, folks.

Oh God, Bill Barr, who headed the DOJ when Epstein "killed himself", is also an alleged perpetrator.

The thing that shocks me most is that all of this incriminating stuff was sitting at the DOJ for 4 years and Biden & Garland were not cynical or ruthless enough to use it against Trump & Musk in the run up to 2024.

If only they were the evil ‘weaponizers of government’ that MAGA claimed they were!

One of the most morally consistent and respectable Senators:

“I’ve made my position clear: not another dime for Trump’s lawless ICE operations means not another dime, not even for one more day,” said Senator Van Hollen. “That’s why I voted against the funding bill before the Senate today.”

Maybe DOJ should focus on the law it’s violating, the Epstein Files Transparency Act, instead of speculating a crime might have been committed (despite multiple ballot recounts) in Fulton County or declining to investigate two homicides in Minneapolis?

It's a war and the American people are the enemy. Can't do the fake "no they're just after the bad guys" after you shot two people for no good reason. bsky.app/profile/ndre...
“in theater” is a crazy way to describe minneapolis
Q: Can you be specific about how many ICE and CBP agents are currently operating in the state?

HOMAN: 3,000. There's been some rotations. They've been in theater a long time. Day after day, can't eat in restaurants, people spin on you, blowing whistles at you. But my main focus now is draw down

People who begin by shooting animals they find unpleasant or not worthy of living often turn out to be serial killers. Remember that when you think about Kristi Noem.

I understand why folks are feeling afraid and angry right now. But I need you to understand something just as clearly: this is what Black America has been living with for generations.

Why not press ahead with impeachment anyway?

In all seriousness, how can it be that the official now in charge in Minnesota was caught by the FBI on video taking $50,000 to steer government business, and walking out with the money, which we still haven't seen. How is he still working in Administration, not to mention not behind bars?

They have collectively decided, with little evidence, that one of the party’s biggest electoral problems is being perceived as too left on immigration and policing. Remember that right after the 2020 election Clyburn suggested Dems lost the South Carolina US Senate race because of defund.
Democrats are so desperate to seem strong on crime that they are funding terrorists and murderers. If they think this is what moderate, "freedom-loving" voters want, they're out of their minds.
Perhaps this latest shooting changes things. But the Dem establishment is fixated on this separation of economic vs not purely economic. If Trump somehow could unilaterally raise gas, grocery or health insurance prices, they would mobilize. But otherwise, they want to redirect to those issues.
