Mike Johnson is not happy that we went around him with a petition and forced a vote on releasing the Epstein files.

So let’s do it again. This time to restore the ACA credits he and Trump robbed from us:

As Americans, we have to acknowledge that this is our doing. We must not turn away.
It is past time for change.

"Needy Amin" ! A great name for our wannabe worshupped leader.
Needy Amin strikes again.
Donald Trump just removed Martin Luther King Jr. Day and Juneteenth from the list of free entry days at national parks.

They are being replaced with Trump’s birthday.

Will do. Thanks.
PS. Just watched your performance in “You Can Count On Me” (Criterion), and more recently in “TASK “(HBO). Both wonderful performances. So thank you for your body of work (including your activism).

This is now become obvious. Don't Look Away:
Read @ariberman.bsky.social + @pemalevy.bsky.social's definitive look at the chief justice, whose court has spent Donald Trump’s second term not applying the law so much as clearing it out of his way.
This is all John Roberts’ fault
Trump owes his corrupt and abusive reign to one man.

This is worth paying attention to if you don't like Trump/Hegseth fascistisizing your Military.
Wow, Adm. Holsey didn't leave of his own accord, Hegseth pushed him out. What looked like the SOCOM head resigning rather than do war crimes now looks like SecDef canning him to facilitate war crimes.

Congress should have him testify, and would've already if war-crime-sympathetic GOP didn't run it.

The relationship between the Pentagon chief and Adm. Alvin Holsey had been rocky since Trump’s inauguration.

Thank you Rep. Stansbury for speaking out against private-for-profit prisons. They are a blot on America's sense of justice. They are the re-institutionalism of Jim Crow Laws across the nation.
No community should be forced to bear the weight of a system that profits from human suffering.

Private, for-profit prisons have no place in a fair and free democracy—and especially profiting off the suffering of an inhumane and undemocratic detention system.

Period.

True. And while you're at it, tell Democratic Leaders to stop protecting corrupt democrats (Henry Cuellar, for one).
Our party ought to to be the one that is fighting against corruption.
Do Schumer, Jeffries, et al, just want to cede power to Republicans to protect their investments, their pensions?

Chuck's waking up; good morning Senator.
ICYDK, tRump is a hypocrite. He pardoned the former president of Honduras, who was convicted of sending 400 tons of cocaine into the United States.

Corruption should be what this party, my party, runs on. Not protecting one of our corrupt party elders.
Good grief…

At this point it’s the “Pedophile Protection Party” vs the “Let’s Shoot Ourselves in the Foot (Repeatedly) Party”.

Listen to Mark Kelly on Pete Hegseth: "He's running around the stage like a 12 year old kid playing army..."
Thanks so much for giving Senator Kelly a platform, haters! He's making gorgeous use of it and looking pretty fearless too.
Kelly: He runs around on stage talking about lethality and the warrior ethos.. That’s not the message that should be coming from the Secretary of Defense… He runs around on a stage like he’s a 12 year old playing army. It’s embarrassing.
