"Unlike so many of our so-called elites, these are regular Americans with regular jobs and regular lives who—despite Trump’s vindictiveness—are brave enough to speak out and tell the truth about what’s happening to our country right now."

There’s a Turkish phrase about the upside of hitting rock bottom being that things can’t get any worse. It goes göte giren şemsiye açılmaz and it means “an umbrella up one’s ass cannot be opened.”

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.

There is no basis to withhold these images under the clear terms of the Epstein Files Transparency Act. None.

Trump is attempting to obfuscate his role in sex crimes w/ best friend Jeffrey Epstein by releasing photos of Bill Clinton. DO NOT ALLOW the pedophile president to redact his way out of responsibility. Together, w/ Pam Bondi, they're carrying out the greatest cover-up in history.

28. Recall that the oil industry (and the GOP) demonized Obama for blocking Keystone not because they were looking out for US producers but because they had spare refining capacity and wanted to make money exporting the resulting finished products. So again, this is about producers v consumers.

21. And before team Yglesias responds by saying "yeah, but it's bad politics to run on climate and energy"... I'd point out that I've won 4 elections in a very purple district running on climate and energy. Pro-tip: leadership is possible! You don't have to be stupid to win!
