A reminder that seven years ago almost to the day, the CIA determined that Mohammed Bin Salman ordered the killing of @washingtonpost.com journalist Jamal Khashoggi.

I hired and worked with Jamal for a year.

CIA concludes Saudi crown prince ordered Jamal Khashoggi’s assassination
Audio recordings, intercepted phone calls and other intelligence link Mohammed bin Salman to killing that Saudis say was conducted by rogue elements.

It makes me angry for all the laid-off and struggling journalists, particularly political writers, who would be doing a much better job in these high-profile positions. It just makes the whole elite media industry feel like a joke.

Again, can you imagine if a writer of color, a Black reporter specifically, did what Olivia Nuzzi did, what would happen to her career?

Would she be rehabilitated in less than a year? Hired by Vanity Fair? Given a book deal? A NYT puff piece?

It's a big club and we ain't in it.

We have Trump because we fought Bush instead of the white supremacist systems that created Bush, just like with Reagan before him and Nixon before *him.*

Want to prevent another Trump? Dismantle the systems that created him. They go back to the founding of this country.

Every single time! Epstein will write:

"porsecters h4arrsed me w/ sbuopenas al bcuase tr4ificing myners .due porcess much???no"

and then there's, like, the former president of a university or white house counsel or something replying:

"You're totally right, and also I love you with all my heart."

Also, Gayle Smith, the special assistant to Obama and senior director for development and democracy at the National Security Council, was also in the Epstein little black book and flight logs.

The Epstein files themselves are just a small piece of the puzzle. Their release won’t be the whole story.

The prices we get under the ACA are based on Americans as one large group. We won’t get lower prices bargaining individually or by state. And how do people in a country our size bargain as a group? Government! That’s what government is for!

My family has been without half our income for 40 days. It has been.. very hard.

We are willing to feel that pain so people can have health care next year, or to undo these illegal recissions.

We are not willing to have been put through this for NOTHING.

The coordinated nature of this—none are facing voters in 2026—means that either Schumer approved it or failed in his job as Senate Majority Leader to stop it.

Dems voting "no" get zero credit until they demand a change in leadership. Schumer out as Leader, Durbin out as Whip.
so currently defectors are:

Kaine (2030)
Shaheen (Retiring)
Hasan (2028)
Fetterman (2028)
Durbin (Retiring)
CCM (2028)
Rosen (2030)
King (2030)

1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️

Her husband told her that detainees at Broadview had to get up at 5am to get in line for one bathroom. He often peed himself. One time he had to wait until 2pm to use the bathroom. You could only use the bathroom once a day. He said the agents would beat you if you used the bathroom on yourself.

Taxing commercial flight to reflect its true environmental costs presents genuine policy & economic tradeoffs, but taxing private air travel does not, and the latter should be taxed at ludicrously punitive rates to address the deficit created by the former.
Impact of flights on global warming severely underestimated by many carbon calculators & offset schemes that don’t properly account for taxiing, sub-optimal routing or non-CO2 climate effects which are larger component:

Your flight emissions are way higher than carbon calculators suggest
Existing tools that work out the carbon footprint of flights greatly underestimate their warming impact, say the makers of a new calculator

ICYMI: I've proposed a rule change that would protect the ability of undocumented and disabled people to appear in court remotely, increasing access to justice and reducing the incidence of vulnerable people losing cases simply because they can't show up in the courthouse.
Hello Friends! I need your help.

I've submitted a proposal to the Illinois Supreme Court, docketed as Proposal 25-05, to guarantee that undocumented immigrants, disabled people, and legal aid and pro bono attorneys can appear in court remotely. My proposed language is the underlined text below!

The situation in Sudan is horrific; war monitors have compared the level of violence in El Fasher to that of the start of the Rwandan genocide.

The international community cannot abide this.

study after study after study shows that literally just handing people money and telling them "do what you want with this" reduces homelessness, increases food security for children, makes it more likely people will find and retain jobs.1

I'm old enough to remember the Kent State tragedy. Ohio governor Rhodes sent the national guard onto a college campus where a jumpy guardsman started firing at a group of students. Trump is risking innocent lives.
