After trying for months to block a bill to release the Epstein files, Mike Johnson says he'll vote for the bill but signals that Republicans will stall it in the Senate to address "serious deficiencies." Trump can say he'd sign it because his congressional lackeys will keep it away from him. 🧵 1/2

There have been at least 154 cases in which federal district courts have issued preliminary relief against a Trump administration policy.
Those rulings have come from 121 *different* judges appointed by seven presidents (including 15 appointed by Trump) sitting in 29 district courts in 10 circuits:

193. The "War" on Judges
Deputy Attorney General Blanche's attack on lower courts is an impressive combination of light on substance; shamelessly hypocritical; and profoundly dangerous. More people should be condemning it.

In reversal, Trump says House Republicans should vote to release Epstein files
President Donald Trump said House Republicans should vote to release the files in the Jeffrey Epstein case, a startling reversal after previously fighting the proposal as a growing number of those in his own party supported it.

Increase in productivity since 1979: 87%
Increase in hourly pay since 1979: 32%
Just so happens that ~25% of workers were unionized in 1979. Today? 10%.
As unions declined, the super-rich have taken a larger share of wealth generated by labor. We must build back union power.
