AOC: What we saw today was a criminal murder a woman while she was trying to flee for her life. What we saw today was a manifestation of every American’s worst nightmare: their government turning into a tyranny.

He summoned Boebert to the Situation Room to pressure her to withdraw her name. Called Mace. Threatened Massie and Greene. Now he knows it will pass and he’s trying to save face. But he also knows it may die in the senate and DOJ intends to cite a new “pending investigation” to block it.

No, Trump will not allow the Epstein files to be released.
One or more of the following will occur:
1. Senate won’t vote for it
2. DoJ blocks release due to "pending investigation" (of the Dems named)
3. DoJ does release, but significant parts are redacted.

This👇 (Not to mention the likelihood the Senate does not take up or pass H.R. 4405)
This is so easy to see , wonder why you are not pointing it out , DOJ has opened investigation so by giving republicans permission to vote yes , lets them then claim , I voted to release but DOJ has its own rules , covering them from scrutiny

I've read a butt load of articles critiquing Klein. This one is the best by far.
“A democratic society needs people in Ezra Klein’s position to treat Charlie Kirk’s anti-democracy stances as disqualifying, rather than pretend they’re just another policy opinion…”

The prominent liberal pundit made up a fake version of Charlie Kirk to praise, laundering his reputation the way a lot of mainstream media launders MAGA

I'm not the world's most pinko rabble-rousing guy.

But to me, this budget vote was where Dems *had* to draw the line. (As argued yesterday, below.)

‘The Only Practical Check That’s Left Is the Power of the Purse.’
In the baffling haze of dealing with ‘everything, all the time,' a few clear signals of where to take a stand. Let's start with Democrats all voting NO on a blank check for Elon Musk.
