Gosh if only there was a four year period of time where someone from your party was President and could have done this
Let me tell you about the other Epstein files the Trump administration is STILL HIDING — records that aren’t affected by the bill Congress passed today.

a big runoff last night, in New Orleans:
Calvin Duncan was exonerated after spending *28 years* in prison; he tried to get his own case records from the New Orleans city clerk—but the office dragged its feet.
So Duncan ran to become city clerk himself, and yesterday ousted the incumbent.

if you genuinely think Schumer and Democratic leadership opposed this & Republicans coincidentally got exactly the number of votes they needed to avoid a filibuster and none of those votes are from Democratic Senators who are up for reelection in the midterms next year, I have a bridge to sell you.

The utterly disgraced Andrew Wakefield, who was struck off the UK medical register for dishonesty & failing to act in the best interests of vulnerable children, is now a key MAHA actor; he's seeing his dream come true (he falsely believed the combined MMR vaccine 'overloaded the immune system')
Q: The president has called for breaking up the MMR vaccine into 3 separate shots. Is that something you're going to direct ACIP to consider or take action on?
RFK Jr: We're looking at the feasibility of that now
Q: Can you say anything more?

Zohran Mamdani caught lying that he understood Plato’s allegory of the cave, yet when asked to explain it, he seemed to instead explain Baudrillard’s theory of Simulacra and Simulation where reality has been replaced by symbols and signs, which seems similar to Plato’s theory but is not the same

If children who are not related to you do not call you “Aunt” or “Uncle” then you have no charisma and no light in your eyes.
I used to love how my daughter's little friend Neha, down the street, would call me "Uncle Jeff" when the girls were little.

The Democratic Party’s donor base has motivations antagonistic to their voting base, so all you have left is messaging because legislative success would spook their donors. So their anemic, focus-tested gruel (politics of joy anyone?) can’t get traction, and lands flat when it’s heard.
The core problem is that even if the Dems weren't means testing the media environment is so stacked against them that most people wouldn't know about agendas or legislative successes.
This gets at the core problem the Democrats have right now: Consultants keep telling them to focus on ‘kitchen table issues’ but they don’t have an inspiring kitchen table agenda! ‘Expanding drug price negotiation’ is technocratic and taxing the wealthy is something they refuse to deliver on.

Do not fall for the lies of Big G
For the record, I have all my life been pronouncing "gyre" with a g-sound and not a j-sound, and I understand that the j-sound version is recognized as the "correct" version, WHICH IS WRONG, also it's "gif" with a "g," anyone who says otherwise is a plant for Big J

If Trump goes for a third term, Obama should run against him.
President Trump said he had an MRI earlier this month, telling reporters Monday that the results had been “perfect” but declining to say why his doctors had ordered the scan. He also reiterated that he was interested in serving a third term.
Trump Says a Recent M.R.I. Scan Was ‘Perfect,’ and He’d ‘Love’ a Third Term
President Trump made the comments on the second day of his trip to Asia. The Constitution limits presidents to two terms, but Mr. Trump has suggested he might try to circumvent it.
