Turns out my authentic voice involves cussing. Alternately earnest and sarcastic.

“Impeding” is the belief that white* men can do what they want without any opposition, and any opposition, no matter how lawful, safe, nor interfering, is impeding their will.

Fucking wusses.

*white adjacent and male adjacent will soon learn their value is temporary.

Jayapal: To the survivors in the room, if you are willing, please stand. And if you are willing, please raise your hands. If you have still not been able to meet with this DOJ. Please note for the record that every single survivor has raised their hand.

Raskin to Bondi: "You're not showing a lot interest in the victims. Whether it's Epstein's human trafficking ring or the homicidal government violence against citizens in Minneapolis, as AG you're siding with the perpetrators and ignoring the victims."

Seems Wall St. is putting a lot of faith in the administration of a convicted criminal who fired the person who provided accurate numbers because it made his governance look bad.

Another memorable ruling out of West Virginia, where Judge Goodwin — a Clinton appointee — excoriates the treatment of ICE detainees.

"This is not what civil enforcement looks like in a humane system of government under law."

Khanna: There were two rounds of redactions. There was the original FBI redactions… and they did a second round of redactions at the DOJ. What they’re showing members now is the unredacted version of the DOJ’s redactions—not the original FBI redactions. They’re in blatant violation of the law.

Pirro should be impeached just for attempting to get an indictment against members of Congress for speech.

Her incompetence is actually useful right now because it negates her malevolence.

Lawyer for Epstein survivors: The DOJ did a disastrous job in redacting the names of the survivors, but it seems that they've done a profound, over-broad job when it comes to redacting the names of those in Jeffrey Epstein's circles to protect them.

ICE List—Dutch site verified using publicly available data much of which comes from agents themselves

“Over 90% of people we've identified through information they themselves have made public…All we do is amplify already publicly available information.”

Thune’s plan has been obvious - drag this out as long as possible to put distance between the Pretti/Good murders and the final vote on DHS funding, hoping that the American public moves on. Senate Dems will never have more leverage for ICE reforms than they do right now.

When people are afraid to go to work, afraid to shop, or afraid to gather in their community, it hurts families, neighborhoods, and our entire economy.

If you can, show up for a small business and let’s continue to show the nation what it means to respond with care and decency.

"214-217, Speaker Johnson fails in effort to block votes on measures to rescind Trump’s tariff policies. Johnson expressed confidence earlier today that the rule would be adopted

Three Rs — Massie, Bacon and Kevin Kiley – defied him

This will open door to flurry of tariff votes"

Steve Bannon, Trump’s confidante & henchman, had an intimate relationship w/Epstein. So why hasn’t he been hauled before Congress to answer questions?

My latest: Bannon’s communications w/Epstein, legal efforts to hide them, & Bannon’s hours of Epstein video he's hiding.

Rep. Walkinshaw leaving today’s ICE hearing: “All of this comes from Stephen Miller’s sick, twisted, deranged Great Replacement Theory.” He says when Dems have the majority they will subpoena Miller to testify: “If he doesn’t he will end up in prison for contempt.” @pabloreports.bsky.social

When the world falls into chaos, it’s women who hold the line.

Glamour photojournalist Erin Trieb took to the streets of Minnesota to document women holding the city together amid the ongoing ICE and CBP operations. Watch as she takes us behind the scenes of her experience on the front lines.

Like we did for Cheney, Kinzinger, Conway, and Taylor Greene, we welcome Massie to the opposition.

We’ll never trust his judgment or his actions, but his voice and influence are welcome. Much to atone for.
Textbook. If you are surprised, it is because this shit usually, at least not in the last 150 years, does not happen in the US. And the past is mild in comparison
