I made up my mind that I was not one bit better than the meanest on earth. I said then, & I say now, that while there is a lower class, I am in it, & while there is a criminal element, I am of it, & while there is a soul in prison, I am not free. - EV Debs

From now on … our devoted, educated, sophisticated heroes of journalism should respond to the STUPIDEST MAN ON THE PLANET when he crudely insults them, with:

“Quiet, little piggy.”
ABC’S MARY BRUCE: “Why wait for Congress? Why not just release the files?”

TRUMP: “It’s not the question, it’s your attitude. I think you’re a terrible reporter.”

(TRANSLATION: She’s asking the right questions and he can’t handle it)

How LOW will Trump’s numbers go? Eventually his fragile ego will blow up. Keep the pressure on him!
There's a lot of Doomerism on here about this ("LOL the Epstein files will NEVER come out LOL") but as I argued yesterday, this dynamic can only keep sinking Trump and the GOP as long as the cover-up continues:

Except for the parts that are still under investigation. And any portion that gets classified. And anything Trump decides is still being investigated

So you know, the highly redacted version Trump wants to let out.

MEANWHILE WE NEED THE FINANCIAL FILES. Who paid Epstein what and when. ALL OF IT

Bondi on the Epstein investigations that Trump demanded: "We're not gonna say anything else on that because now it is a pending investigation in SDNY"

This is pretty amazing. This guy just won a solid victory in Bucks County, PA, one of the most important swing counties in the country, by *explicitly and deliberately* making his race *all about* nationalizing ICE raids. Confirms the point about this now being a winning issue for Dems.

"Donald Trump is an uncomplicated person. His crayon-drawn world is peopled by great friends and terrible enemies. He instinctively sides with the bloody autocrat who flatters him over the American journalist who holds him politely to account..."

The Epstein Saga Has Only Just Begun
The next phase will involve ensuring Trump complies with the disclosures. Let us distrust and verify.

New in PN: CNN shows that when media orgs fight Trump, they win

"Paying the blackmailer makes you look like a cowardly mark — both to your audience and to the guy grabbing you by the wallet. And with courts announcing they won’t be part of Trump's extortion racket, media outlets need to toughen up"

Rare occasion to be nice: Schumer's UC move was clever and effective and the right thing to do. It wasn't about dodging a recorded vote, it was jamming it through ASAP to kill any attempt to delay. It's an example of what can be done, if you really want, with procedural creativity on the floor.

Just called again about Leia. I can still come see her tomorrow. She's resting and is now considered 'stable' but still very very sick. She hasn't vomited today, but she is still not eating anything on her own. They did get her food into her and all her meds.

She is also GLARING at everyone.

Without the hospitalization fees, we're $2200 into this.

WHICH I HAVE COVERED. I have had to come beg help before when Han got sick years ago with the kidney stuff. And people helped thank fuck. And I've tried to pay that forward and have multifold.

I'm putting it all on a credit card.

Yes, that sucks. yes, interest sucks. Yes, I had just paid off this card.

But that is what it is there for.

AND LOTS OF PEOPLE are suffering right now. If you wanna kick me cash and say it's for Leia, I'll apply it to the card.

We still have room on the card, so we should be good.
