AOC: I want everybody to understand that the cuts to your health care are what’s paying for this. You get screwed over to pay a bunch of thugs in the street that are shooting mothers in the face.

Maduro is bad, and we still shouldn’t have kidnapped him in an illegal military raid.

Meiselas: Are there any FBI or DOJ whistleblowers who may be on the horizon—people upset about how this was handled and who may have information?

Khanna: We’ve had some approach our office and the committee. There are people who are upset about the noncompliance with the law

Garcia: If you are a whistleblower at the FBI, at the DOJ, if you worked hard to put the files together and are seeing your work now being hidden by your own DOJ, contact the oversight committee. We have whistleblower protections.

Honestly, it’s the perfect role for a VP. They’re usually the more partisan one and they usually need something to do.

Imagine the joy of Tim Walz in a hard hat, behind the wheel of a wrecking ball
There's a series of things (like the ballroom, Gulf of America) that we're going to have to *undo* the moment this guy is out of office.
And yet I can already hear future Democrat presidents saying "I'm focused on the people's work, not the knucklehead stuff" and just leave this man's shit up.

The release of the Epstein files left many of his victims disappointed with how the Justice Department handled it, Sarah Fitzpatrick reports. “America is getting a look tonight into how we have all felt for years,” one survivor said.
‘They’re Delusional If They Think This Is Going to Go Away’
The Trump administration’s release of long-awaited files didn’t provide what survivors were looking for.

ProPublica spoke to about 150 people who had lived in homeless encampments when cities cleared them out in “sweeps.”

We distributed notecards so people could tell us about the toll in their own words.

If they pretend they haven’t heard about the story of the day, end the interview right there.

Tonight, we did something everyone counted out. We proved to a nation that states like Tennessee are still worth fighting for. The margin was close, and that can only be attributed to the thousands of volunteers who showed out. This is just the beginning.

Wow — Senators Van Hollen, Smith, Murphy, Sanders, Warren, Markey, Merkley, Heinrich have created an official internal "Fight Club."

They're challenging Schumer & Gillibrand's leadership, arguing the party is using an old, corporate-friendly playbook insufficient to take on Trump or win elections.

Our campaign was anchored in the voices of struggling New Yorkers. Yesterday, we brought those voices straight to the Oval Office. We made clear that housing, safety, and lower costs are what New Yorkers need and what our administration will deliver.

You would think that the 8 GOP Senators who are SO OUTRAGED that Jack Smith subpoenaed their phone records that they want $1 million compensation would bring him in to testify IN A PUBLIC HEARING to explain why he did this. But no, they don’t want to do that. I wonder why?

Congratulations to all the Democratic candidates who won tonight. It’s a reminder that when we come together around strong, forward-looking leaders who care about the issues that matter, we can win. We’ve still got plenty of work to do, but the future looks a little bit brighter.

Schools went on lockdown, people stayed inside. It lasted the entire afternoon. A constant din of whistles, sirens, helicopters, people shouting. Or dead silence.

I see the NYT, New Yorker, commentariat frame it as "activists clashing with ICE."

No.

ICE/CBP/DHS are terrorizing US citizens.

Yep!

I wish we could pick where 10% of our taxes go

I'd start by giving to the National Endowment for the Arts, then the following year, the National Labor Relations Board.

No weapons or wars. Others have that well-covered.
Yes, I want my tax dollars going to feed and house people. Those are some of the best uses of my tax dollars, in fact.
