Pam Bondi has been a complete and total failure at her job. The Epstein survivors showed more courage just by being in that room than she did under oath. She refused to answer questions and chose complicity.

America deserves better.

This victory belongs to the people of Minnesota who have inspired all of us by transforming crisis into action and tragedy into solidarity. People power works.

The timing of this announcement — shortly before Congress votes on a DHS funding bill — is no accident.
Trump administration says it is ending its immigration surge in Minnesota
More than 4,000 undocumented immigrants have been apprehended since the operation began in November, according to the Department of Homeland Security.

As I explain in my book The Privateers:

While he was going after Clinton, Ken Starr was running legal strategy for all pro-voucher, anti-public school litigation in the 90s and the first SCOTUS case in 2002.

His time was paid by the right-wing Bradley Foundation.

“It was great having Jeffrey here. He’s a prince. Next time, he is warmly welcome and encouraged to ‘break bread’ with me at the Allbritton House,” former Baylor President Kenneth Starr wrote in an em...

This thread is completely accurate. It worked. The 30,000 trained volunteers stood up, observed, protected their neighbors as best they could and never stopped. A role model for all communities resisting Trump's fascism.
Believe that they're really ending the surge in Minnesota when people on the ground say it's happened but also *even* if this is nothing but more face saving, it's a huge acknowledgement that they know they're losing and that the people of Minnesota are never going to stop protecting their neighbors

Johnson is scum.
Ron Johnson to Keith Ellison: "Two people are dead because you encouraged them to put themselves into harm's way! And now you are exploiting those two martyrs. You ought to feel damn guilty about it. Yeah, sit there and smirk. Smirk. It's sick! It's despicable. You disgust me."

This is a pogrom
More than 400 people, including hundreds of citizens, were “sorted” at gun point into racial and ethnic groups by 200 ICE agents who fired flash-bang grenades into cars with people inside, pointed guns at children & demanded their zip tied parents not comfort them. apple.news/Ausdx6kWtT0e...

I appreciate the emerging label of the "Epstein Class" and think it should be used as often as possible. It covers the spread. #EpsteinClass #oligarchs

#SAVE Act is NOT to protect voting, it is to CONTROL you. When have women in this country been protected in the past 5 years? Dobbs? Epstein? SAVE Act? Project 2025?

worth watching. This is how you continue to call out the pathological and weaponized hypocrisy
NEGUSE: AG Bondi, that man works for you now, right? The man in that video from J6 yelling 'kill them!' at cops. His name is Jared Wise.

BONDI: He does work for us, yes. I believe he was pardoned

NEGUSE: And you expect hard-working police officers to believe you take law enforcement seriously?

You want “election security”?
Try secure schools, secure healthcare, secure childcare.
Stop messing with our right to vote.

Bingo.
Invoking wealthy class solidarity to excuse sex crimes against children is sorta the Epstein Class in a nutshell
Bondi crashes out over Epstein: "The Dow is over 50,000 dollars! I don't know why you're laughing. You're a great stock trader as I hear, Raskin. The Dow is over 50,000 right now. The S&P at almost 7,000, and the Nasdaq smashing records. That's what we should be talking about."

GOP wants Project 2025 to continue through the SAVE Act. They are lying that its to protect integrity of elections. It is to slowly peel women away from voting because they want to make it harder to vote and women to stay home.

Donald Trump’s DOJ just tried—and failed—to indict me in front of a grand jury.

We will continue to fight back against their rising tyranny.

When I got the contract to write a history of concentration camps in 2014, I hoped to keep the US from ending up here. That didn't work out! But now it's critical to understand how much is already in process and the enormity of what's coming. The sooner we act to stop it, the more people we'll save.

The United States is purposefully blockading Cuba from accessing fuel that powers everything from grocery stores to hospitals. People will die. Children will die. What's being done to the people of Cuba is monstrous.

The people in power were ok with it in Gaza and now they're doing it to Cuba.
