Most of us have no idea how bad it is inside ICE detention centers because they have kept it hidden. Then a truth teller shows up and says it plain.

The conditions are filthy. The treatment is inhumane. The abuse is Systematic and routine.

The thing is

journalists are not subordinate to the government and therefore cannot be insubordinate in questioning the government

Just a thought: How about we stop protecting the reputation of powerful, rich child rapists, and start bringing powerful, rich child rapists to justice?

Rep. @raskin.house.gov has asked for a recorded vote on the Epstein Files bill.

That is occurring now.

Smart move by Raskin.

Remember when we were all about taking down terrorists and the networks that financed them?

Now they get red carpet treatment at the White House, presidential pardons and investment opportunities with America.

Times sure have changed.

Reminder:

The Dictator in the WH could have released the Epstein files at any point.

Instead, we the people and mostly Democratic members of government had to work double OT to force this release because he refused, and the GOP was fully complicit.

Actions *always* speak louder than words.

I’m still thinking about “quiet, piggy.” No president should be able to speak to a member of the press that way and remain president. That moment encapsulates how vile, misogynistic, and horrible that man is.

Khanna: "There should be no buildings named after people in this Epstein class. There should be no scholarships named after them. They shouldn't be enjoying perks of being affiliated w/ corporations or universities. Many of the survivors will tell you some of these people still are celebrated"

I was in Death Valley, CA with some colleagues of mine and this greeted us one morning. I hadn't bothered to mess with this photo in all that time, proving once again that keeping old RAW files is always a good idea.

You might not have caught what just happened on the Senate floor, but the Senate just “deemed as passed” the Epstein resolution.

That means as soon as it arrives from the House, it automatically passes the Senate (with no amendments) and heads to the President’s desk.

Wow.

Breaking: An Epstein survivor just silenced press conference attendees when she delivered the following remarks:

“Today we stand in a moment that will decide whether our government belongs to the American people, or to those who prey on them.”

Q: Speaker Johnson is calling on the Senate to make revisions to this bill because he says it's doesn't adequately protect survivors

MASSIE: That's been a red herring all along. The survivors have always been in favor of this legislation. He's trying to save face.

If Trump genuinely wanted the Epstein files released, he could order the Justice Department to release them — rather than go through the circus of a discharge petition.

Trump has already tried time and time again to usurp the power of Congress.

What's stopping him now?
