If the UK can hold a Royal accountable, there is no excuse for the US ro hold anyone (no matter their status) accountable for the Epstein sex trafficking.

Thank you! We all need to care about all of us. I can't stand the performative politics.

Amarillo is one of the reddest towns in Texas.

But I showed up because our campaign is not writing off any community.

It was standing room only.

'Because I said so,' is a response an authoritarian gives.

Hopefully not. It's my fear...and unfortunately not an irrational one.

Congratulations to all the Democratic candidates who won tonight. It’s a reminder that when we come together around strong, forward-looking leaders who care about the issues that matter, we can win. We’ve still got plenty of work to do, but the future looks a little bit brighter.

Queue the manufactured outrage, then some sort of thing will happen and maybe martial law/political violence will be the backlash. That's where we are (hope I am wrong).

It feels lately like we all know the other shoe is going to drop. Things are getting worse economically and then violence will also likely go up. I honestly think it's going to get pretty bad.

"The British royal family has, in effect, defenestrated Prince Andrew—who is no longer 'Prince.' I was beginning to think there was no accountability in the world—certainly none for wrongdoing in the Epstein matter...The contrast with us Americans is stark."

A deeply insecure unqualified child is in charge of our military because Trump thought he looked like “central casting” when he saw him on Fox, and he knew he is a weak minded fool who will eagerly cater to all Trump’s worst ideas and impulses.

3 times in the past 2 weeks, a WashPost editorial "has taken on matters in which Bezos has a financial or corporate interest without noting his stake. In each case, the Post's editorial line landed in sync with its owner's interests"

'Washington Post' editorials omit a key disclosure: Bezos' financial ties

Three times in the past two weeks, editorials at the 'Washington Post' failed to disclose that they focused on matters in which owner Jeff Bezos had a material interest.

Absolutely correct. They would board, do some exploitation and forensics, and talk to the drug dealers to get intel.

Our military is being paid by an anonymous donor.

Our WH East Wing was demolished for a ballroom - paid for by donors.

These aren’t acts of benevolence or patriotism.

This is the oligarchy assuming control, insidiously becoming part of how we function.

Every American should reject it.

He bulldozed the White House during a government shutdown to build himself a ballroom, then sent a letter to the states saying that SNAP benefits for 42 million people may not go out in November to those who rely on it to eat.

there are good & worthwhile historical & legal arguments for why the unitary executive is nonsense but to my mind the most straightforward argument is that it makes no logical sense that the president has absolute removal power over the people whose job it is to keep the executive branch accountable

Don Moynihan @donmoyn.bsky.social · 17d

The Inspector General system is basically broken now. Most IGs have been fired, most positions remain vacant. Those who remain or would take the job pose no risk to holding the regime accountable.
Congress added more barriers to Trump firing IGs after his first term. He just ignored them.

Arizona announces they are suing Mike Johnson for refusing to swear in Congresswoman-elect Adelita Grijalva.

She is the final vote needed to release the Epstein files.
