Congress should not let up on contempt for Bondi.

They must bring her b4 committee, under oath.

Except this time when she starts with her CRAP, they must be prepared to have the Sgt. At Arms, put her in cuffs.

Period.

“For someone who is not politicized to see changes at a local level, to see a school board flip, to see a city council change, that gives them hope…that we can do the same thing on a state or national level…”

Welcome to the newest co-sponsors of my Medicare for All bill in the House!

Medicare for All is not only good policy — as premiums skyrocket for millions of Americans — it is incredibly popular. Let’s keep building momentum for universal health care and get this passed!

Mass deportations don’t protect working people—they weaken labor standards, silence organizing and empower bad employers.

An attack on immigrant workers is an attack on ALL workers. @jimmy-iupat.bsky.social

Yesterday we were all waiting in the Epstein line. Today, the entire country has turned into investigators, tracking which files are disappearing. Sixteen gone so far. There’s been a remarkable amount of teamwork, with people working together to identify the missing documents.

Jack Smith has requested that Jim Jordan release the entire video of his 8-hour closed-door testimony which he gave this week to the House Judiciary Committee.

Will Jordan release the video to the public?

If not, why not?

JUST IMPEACH TRUMP

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD
Breaking:

Rep. Ro Khanna says the Trump DOJ's production "does not comply with" the Epstein Files Transparency Act.

Khanna says he and Rep. Thomas Massie "are exploring all options" — including impeachment of DOJ officials, inherent contempt, or referring individuals for obstruction of justice.

DOJ broke the law today by refusing to produce all the Epstein files. It also broke the law by redacting information other than to protect victims. Yet, the corporate media is acting that DOJ did us a huge favor.

Now, more than ever, help build independent, pro-democracy media. hubs.ly/Q03CbHTt0
