So let me get this straight. Trump is now urging Congress to support a measure that would compel him to release the Epstein files. As opposed to Trump simply releasing them. Okay, got it.

Yeah, this fits.
Republican legal icon and Clinton scourge Ken Starr signs off a touching note to Jeffrey Epstein with "hugs." Amazing.

TRUMP is MIA today

If Trump was sincere in a desire to see Congress pass the Epstein Files Act,

He'd be standing with Epstein survivors at the Capitol this AM

He'd have invited survivors to the White House

He'd sign an order to release all the files today

He'd apologize for calling it a hoax

FFS!

@aaronparnas.bsky.social reports Senate Republicans won't support extensions on ACA subsidies unless it includes stripping away abortion rights

Once again, GOP holding Americans hostage to get their extremist, unpopular policy priorities in place

It may seem impossible to have hope in these turbulent days

But America has been through much worse, and recovered-every time

The Civil War
The Great Depression
World Wars I and II
The Civil Rights era

So don’t give up
Stay engaged
Support one another

We will get through this

And we will win
Obama: I believe in an America where we don't fear each other. But look out for each other. And if we want that story to continue. If we believe in that better story. We need leaders who believe in it too.

A good analysis on why Trump’s attacks on so-called “narcoterrorists” is not good law enforcement; it’s murder:

Amazon just announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year.

UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year.

Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M.

This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

@tomniehaus.bsky.social hi Tom. Thanks for the support.

The deadline for approving a fair congressional map is Oct. 31. If that deadline is missed, the map riggers can approve one with only Republican votes. Citizens with binoculars descended on the statehouse in search of #FairMaps. They found none.

The timing means the court is not expected to rule before, at the earliest, November 17, which is a full month after DOJ asked SCOTUS for an immediate administrative stay and stay pending appeal.

This is a big, if temporary, punt.

Background at Law Dork: www.lawdork.com/p/trump-admi...
Trump admin asks SCOTUS for an order allowing it to deploy troops in Chicago immediately
Four judges — two Republican and two Democratic appointees — have rejected the Trump administration's arguments in the Illinois case. So, DOJ ran to the justices on Friday.

Super critical issue here that needs to get more attention.

More mapmaking in the dark @ohio50501.bsky.social
The constitutional deadline for #FairMaps in OH is Oct. 31. Still no maps for public review.
Rep. Brian Stewart confirmed the secrecy is intentional: “We’re not going to just show all of our notes in public,” he said.
Does he know the Ohio Constitution REQUIRES transparent & fair mapmaking?

About 42 million Americans receive snap benefits; 39% of those are children. As Trump & his enablers use hungry kids as leverage, they are shoveling money at Argentina and found a way to pay for Trump’s latest vanity project: a $230 m White House ballroom.
