#GrumpyPolitics Reminder: After South Carolina maps were found to be racially gerrymandered, it went to the Supreme Court. Who sat on them for a year and a half, then said, Nah, they aren't.

North Carolina broke it's own laws. Judge stopped them. Went to the Supreme Court... 1/

With #Epstein being the lead story today, I think it's important to note that he was first arrested in 2006. He was then arrested again in 2019. I'm hoping someone uses the emails released by the Epstein estate to fill in the timeline.

ME: How do you spend your free time?

HER: I read a lot. I enjoy studying the big questions. Like... Do we have free will? Does God exist? Is our universe real? What do you think about?

ME: I've always wondered how Dumbo's hat stayed on when he was flying.

For far too many families, the cost of childcare is driving them out of the city they love.

New Yorkers deserve to be able to afford to raise families here.

At this point, if you complain about #MeToo going to far... I immediately assume you've assaulted women.
My takeaway from every new Epstein revelation is that some powerful people victimized many powerless young women, many more knew, some actively enabled it--and we're still being told that MeToo and accountability for sexual violence have gone too far

The Epstein files are clearly more damning than we assumed, which is saying something.

#GrumpyPolitics On Thursday, we take local action (knock on doors, call, write).

The important thing is to do something to build your local network. Each of us needs to do as much as we can to multiply our vote by bringing other committed voters to the table. 1/

It’s been 55 days since I’ve seen most of my Republican colleagues since Speaker Johnson shut down the House. Even as the government is poised to reopen—it’s never been more clear that the GOP does not want to negotiate on healthcare or ensure justice for the Epstein survivors.

Here’s the latest. ⬇️

When Rep. Grijalva takes her oath tonight, she will be the final signature needed to release the Epstein files.

Now, Trump is working the phones to intimidate House Republicans into backing out.

I wonder why?

The six include local political figures & hopefuls, like Dem congressional candidate Kat Abughazaleh, Dem commiteeman Michael Rabbitt & Chicago 40th Ward Chief of Staff Cat Sharp.

Ralliers are chanting "we support the Broadview Six;" placards read "defend protest."

Many older folks in the crowd.

I’m so proud of my daughter in Seattle.

She doesn’t have much money (she’s a preschool teacher with a preschooler of her own) but she has a big bag of Costco flour — so she’s baking sourdough bread and cinnamon rolls every week for people in her neighborhood who are furloughed or lost SNAP…
