Larry Summers: "This is way beyond anything Nixon ever did ... this is the stuff of democracies giving way to authoritarianism. Firing statisticians goes with threatening the heads of newspapers, launching assaults on universities, launching assaults on law firms. This is really scary stuff."

2 points here:
1) There's no statute of limitations in New York for Ghislaine Maxwell's crimes (maybe also options in New Mexico and Florida). A pardon can't stop state prosecutions.
2) We just got another reason to release the Epstein files: so the public can test Maxwell's truthfulness.

To gain her freedom, sex trafficker and child rapist Ghislaine Maxwell handed 100 names to Todd Blanche in a stunningly corrupt quid pro quo that fucks the victims one more time. As part of the deal, the sex predator who dominates the Epstein files, Trump, had his name omitted.

It’s time for Congress to reign in the Mad King. These tariffs haven’t even hit for real and the world is off the rails.
Politically, it’s helpful to Dems, but this is why I’m not a good politician b/c I care too deeply about the harm on all people, even on those that hate my very existence.

Senator Cory Booker -- nearly 23 hrs into this -- is more coherent than your average elected official speaking (while seated) at an average legislative hearing.
Even if you haven't been watching all along, dip in for a moment -- he is making considerable sense:

Maryland Gov. Wes Moore couldn't have said it better — "Loving your country does not mean lying about its history." As the executive order targeting the Smithsonian attempts to erase the truth, we must fight to preserve it. Our history is not divisive — it’s reality.

I'm not a programming guy but MSNBC and CNN should be airing this Cory Booker thing in the same way you take over programming if there's a no-hitter or a basketball player with 60 points in three quarters. It's a physical feat! Cut in for this kind of thing. Costs nothing, gooses ratings, good TV.
