Meiselas: Another critical reason MAGA Mike is telling Republicans that the House is officially closed is because he’s trying to avoid swearing in Democratic Congresswoman-elect Adelita Grijalva.. She would be the 218th signature on the Epstein discharge petition.

That was one of the most batshit press conferences of Trump's public life. He brandished a photo of Putin and promised to deploy the US military to occupy Chicago, New York, and San Francisco. A sane country would be moving toward impeachment and removal right now.

RADDATZ: The president went in to that meeting saying he wanted a ceasefire and there would be consequences if they didn't agree on a ceasefire in that meeting, and they didn't agree to a ceasefire. Where are the consequences?

RUBIO: That's not the aim

We must insist the Supreme Court protect voting rights and democracy. In 2015-17, I litigated and won 4 redistricting cases in the Supreme Court. In the last few years my firm has litigated two others in the Court and won both.

Don't give in to the cynics. When we fight we can win!

Dems. Wanna get your polling out of the gutter? Stop talking about redrawing house maps in blue states and do it. Go big. Don't match them seat for seat. Blow them out of the water. Then endorse Mamdani. You're welcome.

Survivors of sexual predation deserve answers and protection. NOT the perpetrators.

Christopher Webb @cwebbonline.com · Jul 25

We’re spending a lot of time talking about Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. But don’t forget their victims. The survivors.

Not all of them made it. At least two women connected to Epstein’s abuse have died by suicide. The real number may be higher.

Jeffrey Epstein accuser, Maria Farmer, speaks out.

Yesterday, Maurene Comey, who prosecuted the Epstein case, was summarily fired from SDNY. Her letter to colleagues pulls no punches. "Fear is the tool of a tyrant, wielded to suppress independent thought."

ICE is a business. Palantir tracks. Amazon stores. JPMorgan bankrolls. Human suffering gets subcontracted and sold. This isn’t a broken system—it’s a perfected one. Built to detain. Designed to dehumanize. Investigate it. Expose it. Burn it down. Boycott it to extinction.
