The new Countdown podcast drops at midnight:

Will Trump now DESTROY the Epstein Files? He's trying to destroy Clinton to distract from his own guilt. He's trashed Marge Greene. He's broken the DOJ and House. Why not? They told Nixon to burn the Watergate tapes!

Be there. Aloha

Today, thousands of people came out to events all across NYC—picking up and handing out materials to defend their neighborhoods from ICE. There were whistles kits & know your rights cards. People went to hundreds of businesses hanging signs of solidarity. Incredible feat by @handsoffnyc.bsky.social.

Attacks on VPNs are attacks on digital privacy and digital freedom. And that battle is being fought by people who clearly have no idea how any of this technology actually works. www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...
Lawmakers Want to Ban VPNs—And They Have No Idea What They're Doing
It's unfortunately no longer enough to force websites to check your government-issued ID before you can access certain content, because politicians have now discovered that people are using Virtual

My friend @drannieandrews.com will be Lindsey Graham's opponent.
She is a pediatric surgeon who has performed spinal surgeries on children, running against a grownup with no spine. Dr. Andrews is poised to perform a full Lindsey-ectomy on the United States Senate.

Interesting how ICE flights weren't impacted by the shutdown. Just commercial flights. Yet we had to end the shutdown for the airlines?

Sure, Jan.

Increase in productivity since 1979: 87%

Increase in hourly pay since 1979: 32%

Just so happens that ~25% of workers were unionized in 1979. Today? 10%.

As unions declined, the super-rich have taken a larger share of wealth generated by labor. We must build back union power.

You would think that the 8 GOP Senators who are SO OUTRAGED that Jack Smith subpoenaed their phone records that they want $1 million compensation would bring him in to testify IN A PUBLIC HEARING to explain why he did this. But no, they don’t want to do that. I wonder why?

As age verification laws proliferate around the world, people have predictably turned to VPNs to protect their privacy. Instead of taking this as a sign that surveillance isn't popular, lawmakers have decided they might as well ban VPNs altogether. www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...

Dead on arrival.
Trump officials are planning to propose oil drilling off the California coast for the first time in decades, according to a draft map reviewed by The Post.

The move is sure to antagonize Gov. Gavin Newsom and other Democrats in California.
Trump administration plan would open California to offshore oil drilling
A draft five-year plan for offshore oil development proposes selling leases on the West Coast, Gulf of Mexico and Alaska.

A reminder: Trump has mocked captured veterans (McCain), and those who died defending you (those lost at Bellevue Wood in WW1 - "suckers" and "losers").

If you side with Trump on veterans, YOU hate the troops

At this point I literally have no idea what my party leadership is doing. I see no method. I see no strategy. I discern no 'tactics' at play but pathetic infurating CAPITULATION like a pitiful pack of pusillanimous PUSSIES.
