You’ll recall I told you that if Bondi violated the Epstein Files Transparency Act, it would trigger a lawsuit. That’s what Schumer’s resolution does. It directs the Senate Majority Leader to file federal civil action against the government over failure to release the Epstein files. 1/

If I learned anything from the past couple of years, it's that "world leaders" will never, not once, respect or uphold basic decency for its own sake. We must force them to do so at every turn. International politics is built upon a rejection of the notion of morality.

Pam Bondi did it again
Another batch of the Epstein files was released-in which Trump was featured prominently-but the Department of Justice promptly took them down a few hours later
Sure looks like Ro Khanna and Thomas Massie have enough evidence to hold her in contempt

Lawrence O’Donnell’s MSNOW show has 2 Epstein survivors blasting DOJ for failing to properly redact names, leaving some survivors‘ identities newly revealed. They suspect DOJ’s top priority is to protect other people — not the survivors. “We’re being re-traumatized by our government.”

CBS pulled the 60 Minutes CECOT segment, but Canada aired it anyway.
The segment was streaming via Global TV and YouTube (since taken down). Having a VPN set to Canada helped. 🇨🇦
My take, there is no reason we shouldn’t see this. Most of it was known information, easily searchable.

This has always been a Bluesky-first campaign. But as of today, we will no longer be using Twitter. At all.
And I'm calling on other candidates to follow suit.

If a state can withdraw supranational citizenship rights from its people without consent, compensation or appeal, what does that say about the security of rights more generally?
