Coons on Epstein files: "My hunch is that AG Bondi, having just been ordered on social media by the president to open an investigation into a series of high-profile Dems, will promptly say, 'No, there's an ongoing investigation, we can't disclose any of this,' and the president will back that up."

The struggle for freedom and respect for the law is the same in the USA, Ukraine and all of Europe. You cant say you stand with Ukraine and want freedom and rule of law there, and then turn around and praise Trump and ignore his massive corruption. There is only one side--pick yours.

Chris Murphy on possible military strikes on Venezuela: "It's pretty clear it's just an effort to distract people from the rising prices and the Epstein scandal. No one wants a war with Venezuela ... and by the way, it's wildly illegal."

Worried about what’s going on with respect to possible military action re Venezuela, and what’s going on in the Pentagon? You’re right to be!

Rep. Ro Khanna tells NBC he'll hold a press conference with survivors of Epstein's abuse and he'll call for Trump to meet with the survivors.

"On Tuesday what we're going to ask is for a president to meet with these survivors."

"I really think that's the right thing to do."

Margaret Brennan to Tom Suozzi: "Can you explain the focus this past week in the House by Democrats on the Jeffrey Epstein files? Is this a tactic to distract from the failure to extract healthcare changes?"

Just a reminder that for the first several months of this admin it was MAGA activists who were calling for this to be released. And Bondi, Patel & Bongino all promised it. Then Trump freaked out and many of them reversed their positions. This was not initiated by Dems. bsky.app/profile/atru...
Barrasso: "What I know is that Jeffrey Epstein is a convicted sex offender and he is dead, and President Trump threw him out of Mar-a-Lago 21 years ago. To me what's going on with Epstein is this is the Democrats trying to appeal to their far-left base and trying to change the topic."

One more Russian war crime that will barely make the news.

The unit responsible is an openly neo-nazi unit.

So much for the ‘liberation’ and ‘denazification’ of Ukraine

This is so so disturbing. Trump is now pardoning January 6th rioters for unrelated crimes, just to reward them for their violence to keep him in power.

The Republican Party is in the full time business of endorsing and incentivizing political violence. So scary.

The fact that the American president’s former best friend is helping Russia blackmail the president should be a far bigger story than it is.

Where that $220M ended up has been unknown. The main recipient listed on public docs was a Delaware LLC created days before the deal was signed.

We found there's been a secret beneficiary: a GOP consulting firm with a much longer — & more interesting — track record.
