If you're hoping to keep your crimes secret, *maybe* don't make instructional videos on how to go about the cover-up.

BREAKING: new emails CONFIRM my reporting that there are TRAINING VIDEOS instructing FBI personnel on how to review the Epstein Files. Plus, a lot more…
The emails reveal the special training given to FBI personnel working on what it called the “Epstein Transparency Project.” In some instances they referred to it as the “Special Redaction Project.” The training entailed PowerPoint slide presentations and video instruction on how to review the files.

I doubt Donny understands that he literally just posted a plaque repeating the same thing that Democrat veterans in Congress just said that got his panties in a twist.
Obey the law. Follow the Constitution.
*Disobey* illegal orders.

The draft dodging idiot posted a pic of this West Point plaque. It contains these words:
“Our American Code of Military Obedience requires that, should orders and the law ever conflict, our officers must obey the law.”
That is precisely what Senator Mark Kelly told officers to do. #NoSedition

I have been saying for years that Democrats need to return to their Roosevelt-Truman roots of being the party of economic populism. It was a winning message and still is.
Nor is it inconsistent with retaining our inclusive social values or pro-sustainability messaging.

It may have taken 250 years to fully materialize, but it turns out Hamilton’s concern that political parties, or factions, would be a threat to the Republic, were, in fact, well-founded.
The only way to moderate the risk seems to be making sure there’s more than two.

Socialism is a scare word they have hurled at every advance the people have made in the last 20 years.
Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security.

No, House Democrats should not vote for a resolution that cynically conflates communism and socialism.
For one thing, don't give the GOP the power to define important terms. For another, pay attention to your voters. news.gallup.com/poll/694835/...

Orange Nero picked the wrong fucking target at which to aim his political violence rhetoric.
Kelly: "My family has suffered from political violence. My wife, Gabby, was nearly assassinated, shot in the head at a political event. Even the president -- 2 assassination attempts -- he should understand his words have significant weight and people react to things that he says."

The president calling for the death of his political opponents is insane behavior that warrants immediate removal from office.
It’s a dangerous appeal to his most deranged online supporters. But it won’t save Trump or his party.
It’ll dig the hole deeper.

Someone needs to remind Mike Johnson that *he* doesn't have any immunity from being prosecuted for breaking the law.
Trump may avoid prison, but Johnson's going to find himself in hot water.

The "Republican healthcare plan" is exactly what the Republican plan for everything else:
Privatize it and make money off it, so people can "get busy dying and decrease the surplus population."
Fitting for the holidays: Republicans are the "Ebenezer Scrooge party" - before the ghosts came along.

Just want to point out that it is a crime to threaten to murder a Congressperson-- and a crime that absolutely falls outside the purview of any presidential immunity granted by the Supreme Court consistent with presidential authority.
Full stop, a crime and an impeachable offense.
