I fear the worst is yet to come because the promise of accountability through criminal prosecution is on the table. Not just for Trump.
It’s very likely state resources are going to be applied to hold on to power because these folks walked and took everything they could find.

This is why the Democratic Party in Washington is so despised. They are not the most qualified, talented, or committed to the cause. It’s why Jeffries and Schumer are the party leaders. It’s who can raise the most money.
Buried in this must-read story about the rise of billionaire power is the ex-chair of the DCCC saying the quiet part out loud: access to $$ was a core factor in their candidate recruitment.

I agree. AOC’s support is much more genuine and based on enthusiasm for her. Newsom’s appeal is much more superficial. His dabbling in right wing media just demonstrates he has no set principles.
AOC has a better shot at 2028 than Newsom does, that prick already threw in his lot with the rightwing podcasters and the transphobes.
Reactionary centrists can whine about "purity tests," but fact is Dem contenders now must have spine & principles. Candidates without that will struggle in 2028.

2028 watch: The most effective ad for Prop 50 came not from Gavin Newsom. It came from AOC.
-Super PAC Future Forward found that Ocasio-Cortez's direct-to-camera ad did better than ads featuring Newsom — Prop 50's chief cheerleader — and Barack Obama.

There is a reason that 1919 White Sox were banned from baseball for life. None of this is new, yet greedy sports execs saw 💰💰💰💰💰 and thought this was gonna be alright. Just wait until umpires and referees are being targeted.
The Athletic polled hundreds of players from across the NBA, NFL, MLB and NHL about their opinions surrounding how sports betting impacts players — the responses were haunting.

This would be really an indictment of Merrick Garland for not pushing this harder if he had this information on hand and it was NOT put out there. Clearly the entire 2024 election would have been different.
Murphy: "It's clearly the biggest scandal in presidential history. He wouldn't be acting this way if he wasn't so deeply worried about what's in those files. What we've already seen is immensely incriminating. Clearly Trump was at the center of a child sex ring ... the scandal could bring him down."

One funny thing MAGA chuds continue to point out when Epstein is brought up is a real investigation might rope Bill Clinton into. It never sinks in that, yes, everyone is ok with that happening.
Trump now says he’s “asking” Pam Bondi and the FBI to investigate “Jeffrey Epstein's involvement and relationship with Bill Clinton, Larry Summers, Reid Hoffman, J.P. Morgan, Chase, and many other people and institutions, to determine what was going on with them, and him.”

It feels like we’ve not seen the worst yet. Once it becomes clear that Trump is very cornered, on Epstein, the economy, and ongoing inhumane treatment of immigrants, the administration is going to lash out. This is quite possibly how they would do it.
My NSPM-7 coverage has for weeks been met with smug assurances that there's no law for domestic terrorism. Well, the Trump admin just designated Antifa groups as Foreign Terror Orgs - for which there is a law:

I’m not going to lie - Van Hollen standing up for Kilmar Abrego Garcia in the darkest days of this admin was a real turning point for me. It was a brave act. If he’s jumping on M4All, I’m keeping an eye on him.

Everyone is correcting the substance here so I'll skip ahead to note that the last year has been a good test of the theory that most people just want bigotry rather than housing (& etc.) and that theory turns out to be totally wrong for a large majority, including virtually all the swing voters.

Easily the most compelling factor for
any Republican trying to block this. Threats from Trump and his MAGA chuds aren’t going to prevent a death knell to your public and possibly private career. And Donald Trump is not known for his graciousness. If you help him you ain’t getting shit.

🚨 NEW: More Republicans are quietly telling Rep Thomas Massie they plan to vote to release the files, and he predicts this could snowball.
“Trump will protect you… if you vote to cover up for pedophiles… but… this vote is going to be on your record longer than Trump is going to be president.”
