You’ll recall I told you that if Bondi violated the Epstein Files Transparency Act, it would trigger a lawsuit. That’s what Schumer’s resolution does. It directs the Senate Majority Leader to file federal civil action against the government over failure to release the Epstein files. 1/

WOW: The DOJ has DELETED an image from its release of the Epstein files that shows photos of Trump in a drawer.
Yesterday, we noted that this image — file 468 — likely slipped through the cracks while officials were attempting to hide materials pertaining to Trump.
Now, it’s gone.

As usual in Trump’s supposed deals, his latest prescription drug announcement is — what’s the word — a “con job.” The prize in these deals is never actual benefit for the American people, always just PR stunts for Trump.

Today I received FOUR death notifications for people in ICE custody. That's 30 deaths since Trump took office. It's appalling & unacceptable.
ICE is required—by law—to ensure detainees are safe & their basic needs are met. It's clear this isn't the case. We NEED answers.

Republicans planted their feet firmly on the wrong side of the torches and pitchforks.
In March, I was on an "Abundance" panel where I said that if Congressional Republicans repealed IRA credits for building clean energy at a time of skyrocketing demand, they were going to own the blame for rising energy bills. I think some people thought I was engaging in motivated reasoning. Welp!
