Yet more cronies of Trump are convicted pedophiles. Release the Epstein files
Stephen Miller was a POS at 17 and has only gotten worse with power and access to levers of government authority.
As a novelist I appreciate this piece of evidence about the persistence of human character across time.
The year is 2003.
17-year-old Stephen Miller is sitting in the back of a school bus talking about torture, as in “Torture is a celebration of human life and dignity."
Miller looks directly into the camera and describes the torturing Iraqis in gruesome detail, as his peers laugh uncomfortably.

The racist AI memes of Hakeem Jeffries are not funny and the GOP doubling down on them is disrespectful. So I approve of Rep Jimmy Gomez AI messaging to get them to release the Epstein files
Every time Donald Trump puts up a racist AI generated video of Hakeem Jefferies or any of my colleagues, I’ll put a new movie poster about Trump and Epstein.

@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social vice chair Rep Jasmin Crockett of the government oversight committee should be named as chair replacing rep with health issues. Show some backbone and select someone with fire for justice not a craven compliant and complicit yes man who will kowtow to authoritarianism.

ICE snipers is just not a thing I want to see ever anywhere
Scoop: A sudden no-bid ICE contract for specialized sniper training has gone to a decorated former Marine who is also the brother of a GOP lawmaker.
Reached by WIRED, he says there was no hookup; 20 years in a reconnaissance unit and even more as an instructor simply left him uniquely qualified.

Rep Mike Lawler doesn’t deserve his current post for failing to uphold his oath of office. Perhaps he just uses the Constitution as tp for all the sh*tting in he does. Disgrace.

BREAKING: The Interior Dept just used a fake “energy emergency” to greenlight gas and mining projects on public lands.
