Surprise! The “peace plan” is really just a plan for Trump, Witkoff, Don Junior and their friends to get rich.

Everything is a grift. (And the Hunter hunters are silent)

Over the last year, you could have given into anger and despair.

Instead, you’ve organized in the largest numbers this country has ever seen to reclaim the power of the pro-democracy majority.

We could not be more thankful for you and everything you’re doing to defy Trump’s agenda.

The Trump administration is asking for civility as we travel this holiday.

Uh huh. Ok.

Civility. Also, dress better.

Today, after months of requests, I toured the Broadview ICE Processing Facility. I want to share what I saw.

The facility has no food vendor, no medical care, and detainees have to use toilets in the middle of shared cells. These are in no way suitable conditions to be holding anyone — period.

This is the Democratic “behavior” that Trump says is punishable by death, just in case you haven’t seen it yet.
We want to speak directly to members of the Military and the Intelligence Community.

The American people need you to stand up for our laws and our Constitution.

Don’t give up the ship.

This is one instance in which I'd love to see history repeating.
Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged.

Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

I think there's a decent chance that the Pope visits Chicago during this presidency and while there asks to see Broadview and I wonder how that plays out.

We're at a moment when the whole Congressional GOP delegation could say (and BTW did) "FUCK what this President wants," and this here platform would erupt (and did) with "there must be a secret plan to get Trump what he wants!"

We need to take a win, folks, or we won't have more of them.

Extremely thorough , thoughtful, beautiful and entertaining legal analysis that is an absolute must- watch today. Did I mention it's joyous? Today is a win.

Very important for people to read this portion of the Epstein Files Transparency Act so you understand 1) why Mike Johnson was so upset today, and 2) what is NOT permitted to be redacted by the DOJ.

I mean, look, I'm not a reporter, so who am I to talk?

But on a day where the president both just called a woman reporter "Piggy" and is celebrating someone who had people bone saw apart one of my colleagues, I might just be a little ready to defend my colleagues and profession.

But that's just me

"There are about a thousand of us."

Yes, because the thing about girls is that they don't stay girls for very long. Which makes them disposable. And which means that men like Epstein need a huge supply.

Please stop using language that suggests that people with criminal records are appropriate targets for this administration's violence. One in three adults has a criminal record. Stop playing sacrifice games with fascists. Stop surrendering entire categories of people in your own mind.

Trump is demanding that GOP side with him over Epstein's victims, Rep Ansari tells me. She had a harrowing exchange with one victim who recounts how her mom had cancer and he exploited that.

Also note her mockery of network disclaimers on Trump. More like this, Ds:

I have this same series of questions.
If that's Giuffre's name under the redaction bar, then prove it. Remove the redaction. You've already told us it's Giuffre, so you wouldn't be doing anything illegal. So reveal it. Or can't you? Because it's not her?
CNN: The emails that were released don't raise any Qs for you?

GIMENEZ: Not right now, no

C: The email where Epstein says to Maxwell that Trump spent hours at his house w/someone whose name is redacted who Republicans are saying is Virginia Giuffre?

G: Right. And she said Trump did nothing wrong

Across the country, voters support many of Zohran Mamdani's ideas, including:

-Increasing taxes on the rich
-Universal childcare
-Freezing rent
-Raising the minimum wage

Everything Democrats do must focus on enacting popular policies that help working people.

That is the path forward.
