"When the Epstein files first emerged as a political issue for Trump earlier this month, party operatives said there was initially hesitation among some Democrats about engaging on the issue." A lot can change in less than a month.
Do They Have Your Attention Now?
Democrats are finally beginning to appreciate the significance of the attention economy.

The GOP is back trying to pass another bill in the dark of night.
And I have to ask, did they even read this bill? Because if they had, they’d know it undermines national security, the power of the people, and lives across the world—and is a blatant power grab in a chaotic and corrupt agenda.

Colbert should be Netflix's first call tomorrow morning.
I’d say that @stephencolbert.bsky.social is (with the lone exception of @maddow.msnbc.com) the most brilliant, humane person I’ve encountered in broadcasting. His mind works faster than anyone else’s at a level of sophistication that is unmatchable. Genuinely a generational talent.

This seems to be a good moment to remind folks that it was a singularly bad idea to elect a convicted felon - a man found liable for sexual abuse, who bragged about grabbing women, and consorted with the world’s most notorious pedophile — to the presidency.

"What, exactly is an 'incriminating ‘client list’'? Why are the words 'client list' in quotation marks? What does the absence of an 'incriminating ‘client list’' tell us about what is revealed in the Epstein files?" Questions.

Take a closer look at what the Justice Department memo says—and doesn’t say—about the sexual predator’s “client list.”

Juneteenth is about liberation, which is why every Republican politician posts a tribute and then immediately votes against school books mentioning it.

For those unconditionally cheering the attacks on Iran, remember that our early strikes in Afghanistan and Iraq were “successful”. But we ended up getting dragged into costly wars that created more terrorists than we killed. The American people haven’t forgotten that.
