@barackobama.bsky.social: "When I was POTUS, I suppose I could have simply unilaterally ordered the military to go into some red state and harass and intimidate a governor or cut off funding for states that didn't vote for me... but that is contrary to how I think our democracy is supposed to work."

“Americans should not accept vague excuses for protecting the identities of Mr. Epstein’s associates,” the editorial board writes. “A two-tiered justice system that coddles the powerful and revictimizes the vulnerable is a violation of American values.”

I still can’t believe that Pam Bondi deflected from answering questions on the Epstein files by yelling about the Dow. Truly mind boggling.

@robertgarcia.bsky.social: DOJ says they’re done releasing files, but American public isn’t done. Democrats aren’t done.

There is no scenario where we stop until we’ve seen all the files.

Democrats should promise, today, that Melania Trump, Elon Musk and Peter Thiel will be stripped of citizenship and deported if the administration advances this effort

So two foreign nationals discussed Jared Kushner, a guy who couldn't get security clearance but was able to get $2 billion from Saudi Arabia? And the content of the report is so sensitive that it can't be made public?

Seems like Jared's dad may not wind up being the only felon in the family.
Breaking WSJ:

The highly classified whistleblower complaint against Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard is related to a conversation intercepted last spring in which two foreign nationals discussed Jared Kushner, according to U.S. officials familiar with the matter.

Today, the Trump administration repealed the endangerment finding: the ruling that served as the basis for limits on tailpipe emissions and power plant rules. Without it, we’ll be less safe, less healthy and less able to fight climate change—all so the fossil fuel industry can make even more money.

Regulations are what keeps ordinary Americans healthy and, often, alive.

It took spoiled meat and rodent droppings out of our food. It took harmful lead out of our gasoline and paint. It took poison out of our water.

Deregulation only achieves one goal: making rich corporations richer.

If you saw today's headline that Gallup will stop measuring presidential approval, they did the same thing in 2018. They do it whenever Trump is president.

NY politicians defiantly raised a 🏳️‍🌈 at the Stonewall National Monument, rebuking the Trump regime.

Until a few days ago, the flag had flown for several years in a park across from Stonewall Inn, the gay bar where a 1969 raid sparked an uprising and helped catalyze the LGBTQ+ rights movement.

They have tried everything they can think of to distract us and prevent the truth from coming out — posting racist memes and even shutting down the House. But we will not stop until all involved are held accountable and the survivors get justice.
