Since this administration loves to charge people with making false statements (see, e.g., Comey, James), I assume they will be charging Maxwell for lying to Blanche and the FBI agents who interviewed her, right?
Ghislaine Maxwell lied about Trump never going to Epstein's house (directly contradicted by her email correspondence with Epstein), and she was rewarded for that lie with a transfer to a cushier prison. The coverup is happening in plain sight.

Just like President Trump's pardons for January 6th insurrectionists, his recent pardons for allies who tried to overturn the 2020 election send a message loud and clear: loyalty to Trump is more important than the law.

This is a real threat to our democracy.

The MAGA people I have any contact with can’t seem to wrap their heads around my not caring about a pedophile’s political affiliation when it comes to wanting to see them held to account.

They really do seem to find me holding ‘don’t stick penises in children’ above ‘party loyalty’ inconceivable.
Lest there be any insinuation that Dems spared their own. It would be tough for Kathy Ruemmler—Obama’s WH Counsel from 2011 to mid-2014—to come off looking worse in these docs the committee Dems released. oversightdemocrats.house.gov/sites/evo-su...

I’d started to wonder whether the Epstein files were a bit of a macguffin, but no no they implicate the President of the United States in a pedophilia ring—and show the entire Republican Party as well as much of the federal government has been baldly covering it up. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

This best summarizes why I’m angry. Like @joshtpm.bsky.social, I don’t see folding as a complete and utter failure.

The GOP appetite for cruelty is vastly larger than the average Dem’s appetite for helpless suffering.

I’m furious about HOW Dems folded./1
The traitors were specifically selected to take it for the team. That means the whole caucus is trying to play us. That’s unacceptable. We need new leaders who can actually inspire and lead.

I’ve been calling all my Dem elected officials, Senate, House, state. Time for new leadership, or I’m backing primary challengers.
We deserve a Democratic Party that is willing to fight as hard as we are.

We need new leadership in this moment and to get there, we need a chorus of support for change. Tell your Democratic senators to call on Senator Schumer to step aside as Minority Leader. It’s time for drastic action.

This. We have to shape the opposition party we want and need. Clearly this was orchestrated to give political cover to other members of the caucus. Demanding new leadership is a great litmus test to out cowards and keep moving the Overton window.
Call the United States Capitol switchboard at (202) 224-3121 and they will connect you with your senator's office.

No matter how they voted last night, every one of them has a say in maintaining Chuck Schumer and Dick Durbin as their caucus leaders. Every one of them is accountable here.

People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.

And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.
