They’ve been caught lying to judges all year long. And the public. The chances we will get anything close to the truth are at about 0.000000001%.
Do you really think a Department of Justice that lies to judges about grand jury indictments is going to be open and honest about the Epstein Files?

Seeing MAGA influencers starting to call for Donald Trump to be impeached and removed. Never thought I’d see it. I guess that’s why he’s spiraling so fast and so hard right now. The Emperor has no clothes, and he just now might have realized that for himself…

Turned off a @meidastouch.com video because they said they were about to interview @schumer.senate.gov. Once again, the only words we want to hear from him are “I resign.” After that, then we’ll hear him out on anything else. The time for effective Democratic leadership in the Senate is long past.

The House went into recess for the night without transmitting the Epstein bill to the Senate. MAGA Mike is slow walking this. Milking every extra hour he can to protect Dear Leader from what will be utter humiliation, no matter how this plays out.

Remember several months back when we learned that a sizable group of FBI agents had been tasked with reviewing the files and flagging every mention of Trump’s name. I’m wondering if the shutdown gave them just enough time to finish that project and redact his name throughout…

When school children in the future ask for the specific moment when the Republican Party died, when it sealed its fate, the answer will be: When they allowed blindly agreeing with Donald Trump to be the litmus test for membership. It became the Donald Trump Party and will go down with him.

Pam Bondi either doesn’t understand the *clear* letter of the law or she is pretending doesn’t. Either way, she should not be in a position that is in any way *close* to the DOJ, let alone serving as its leader.
Ahem. It's the job of the President to appoint DAs - with advice and consent from the Senate.
The President can ignore that rule - but only once (per district) and only for 120 days.
Do you know who appoints DAs after the 120 day mark has passed?
Pam Bondi doesn't. Because it's the judiciary.

In case you’re wondering why we’re not seeing the warranted criticism of Chuck Schumer’s failed leadership from party leaders: he begged them not to and most of them appear to have caved to him just like he has himself caved so many times. Establishment Democrats are cowards, plain and simple.
Schumer reached out to leading presidential contenders to try and mute criticism of the deal, calling Josh Shapiro, Andy Beshear, JB Pritzker, and Gavin Newsom.
While Schumer voted against it, the eight Dems behind the shutdown deal said the minority leader was aware of their plan. trib.al/lcNlGik

The people out there claiming the Dem surrender is a "good thing." And "we'll get another chance come February 1" are missing the fact that Democrats have now shown Republicans they will cave again and again and again. Republicans have no incentive to pass ACA subsidies. It will be even harder now.

There’s no way to spin the @democrats.senate.gov surrender that isn’t a failure in leadership. Either Chuck “knew Republicans would never extend the ACA subsidies” and knowingly harmed Americans for nothing while lying to them OR he gave up just when they held the best possible hand. He’s got to go.

Aaand...there it is. Senate Republicans will only approve an extension of the ACA subsidies if subsidized plans prohibit access to reproductive health care. (And I expect the extremists in the House will demand even more.) Democrats gave up their only leverage, and we'll be worse off for it.

Any @democrats.org official making statements today about how they “honor veterans” without calling out the fact that the Senate Democratic surrender will kick over 250,000 veterans off their health insurance and demanding Schumer and Durbin resign is just once again gaslighting us.

I’m guessing @democrats.senate.gov think our anger at their utter failure and betrayal will subside in a news cycle or two and calls for new leadership and primary opponents will die off. They continue to underestimate voters just like they think we’re stupid enough to believe this was 8 “rogues.”

Every day that @schumer.senate.gov and @durbin.senate.gov stay in leadership is another day that @democrats.senate.gov @democrats.org show they are out of touch, disrespect their voters, and do not represent the American people. Sitting elected officials will feel the consequences at the ballot box.

The only way @democrats.org stand even a slim chance of restoring voters confidence for 2026 (the numbers of people I’m seeing pledge not to give to any Dem organization and to only campaign for primary challengers—including me—is staggering) is to ensure Schumer and Durbin are out within the week.
