Raskin: "In the very presence of the victims and survivors, the Speaker said that 'now is a time we should be working on urgent legislative work.' Mr Speaker, justice is urgent legislative work. The truth is urgent legislative work. You were the one who refused to swear in Rep. Grijalva for 50 days"

It’s amazing that the House passed the Epstein Files Transparency Act. But even though the bill bans redactions for embarrassment or political reasons, it still includes several exceptions that could allow key names to be withheld:

Q: Speaker Johnson is calling on the Senate to make revisions to this bill because he says it's doesn't adequately protect survivors
MASSIE: That's been a red herring all along. The survivors have always been in favor of this legislation. He's trying to save face.

Last Thanksgiving, two Dallas Police officers knocked on my door, citing a tip from the FBI national threat operations center that I was beating my girlfriend. The incident report confirms this. Today, I obtained a file from the FBI via FOIA that states the FBI has no record of receiving such a tip.

Its very simple, actually. The voters should select their elected representatives, not the other way around.

Today we won a big victory in Texas but the fight for democracy is not over. We all need to steel ourselves for the battles ahead. We won't win them all, but we can never lose sight of what we need to do to prepare fee and fair elections.

Welp. There it is:
“The only bill I’ll sign is one where insurance companies don’t get any money and instead money goes to the people who will use it to buy insurance from those same companies.”
Glad we cleared that up.

So the plan is to give the subsidy 💸 directly to Americans so we can individually go sign up for insurance.
Same system but just “make it harder for people to navigate”?
And it still won’t fix the problem of affordability or protect against junk plans that don’t cover anything.

The White House Intervened on Behalf of Accused Sex Trafficker Andrew Tate During a Federal Investigation
Federal authorities were chided for seizing electronic devices from Tate and his brother, and told to return them, records and interviews show. Experts said the intervention was highly inappropriate.

It's profoundly different to cover a U.S. president than state or local officials, and too, much harder to vent publicly if you're female. But if in my reporting days, if anyone from a police sergeant to the mayor of Baltimore told me, "Quiet, piggy," I'd immediately insist he go fuck himself.
