Raskin: "The DOJ hasn't released any of these emails that mention Trump's name & identify his role in all these activities. Those came from the Epstein estate. So this is a demonstration the govt is deliberately withholding the info everybody is actually looking for & could be damaging to Trump"

Trump's little Johnson is incapable (impotent ?) of preventing a vote to release the Epstein files in the House.

Next trick is getting it through the senate.

But the real BS is then it needs the Orange Idiots signature.

In the end it's a game of "who's protecting the pedophiles".

Also important to remember that everyone involved in the coverup -- whether formally or informally -- is part of the exact same conspiracy against the victims and against the nation.

I think about this a lot too. I am deeply morally wounded by this shitshow.
along with the heinous literal crimes i think a lot about how there's a kind of moral, national crime in subjecting all of us to this, to this consuming our politics, committed against us by a number of powerful and connected people up to and including the president

One reason you hold a meeting to pressure/cajole/threaten Boebert in the Situation Room is so she can't record it.

Long before that.

Every intel agency on Earth knows Trump has been compromised since his Moscow trip in 1987.

Christopher Steele was career UK intel. The dossier wasn't even half of it, and that was before Trump stole boxes of US (and allied) nuclear secrets.

I don't even like to use auto-complete, since it seems the start of the slippery slope to writing words that don't reflect our thinking.
We need the humanities more than ever and we need clear ideas as to what makes us human and how to strengthen that and make us the best humans we can be.
I’m pro-technology & see a whole universe of wonderful applications for AI.

Convincing my budding star writers & potential dating prospects that its voice is better, stronger, or more reliable than their own is not amongst those applications.

We will adapt, surely. But we will also atrophy.

AOC: "It is unconscionable that what we are debating right now is legislation that will give 8 senators over $1 million a piece & we're robbing people of their food assistance & healthcare to pay for it. How can we vote to enrich ourselves by stealing from the American people?"

WATCH: @raskin.house.gov explains the deal that would allow eight GOP senators lucrative lawsuits over phone record subpoenas:

"It's certainly the most corrupt provision authorizing financial self-dealing and plunder of the public passed by Congress in this century."

Democratic Rep. Adelita Grijalva was sworn in to office Wednesday, after a delay that critics allege was because the Arizona lawmaker pledged to be the deciding signature on a petition to release the so-called Epstein files.

Grijalva, who was elected Sept. 23, called the delayed ceremony, which Republicans attributed to the government shutdown, an “abuse of power.”
