Democracy and the rule of law matter. Do not obey in advance.

I know it’s a bunch of unqualified folks with no backbone over there, but this is next level”

Nobody works this hard for this long to cover up something this bad unless they are guilty.

Today is the deadline to release the Epstein files. The DOJ is refusing to comply.

This is about justice for survivors and holding participants and co-conspirators accountable.

The Epstein Files Act is the law, not a suggestion.

Release the files. Immediately.

@chrislhayes.bsky.social Eric Holder became Deputy AG in 1997.
HUGE NEWS from the new Epstein files:

Records show that Maria Farmer, who worked for Epstein, filed a "child pornography" report to the FBI in 1996.

The FBI has never before acknowledged that complaint. The case went nowhere, and mass abuse followed.

My colleagues and I have been fighting to pass an Economic Justice Bill of Rights for years — to declare that dignity is non-negotiable.

When I’m governor, we’re going to get it done. Working people deserve nothing less.

Job losses in June, August, and October mean the U.S. economy has shed jobs in three out of the past six months.
And recall that Powell said last week that Fed staff thinks the numbers may be *overstating* jobs by about 60k/month, due to methodological issues

One way that the reaction to Rob Reiner's murder mirrors Charlie Kirk's is that the best way to eulogize each of them is to quote their words, and in both cases, doing so pisses off conservatives.
Rob Reiner: “Silence in the face of authoritarianism is complicity. Speaking out is a patriotic act. Democracy doesn’t defend itself. It requires participation, vigilance, and courage from ordinary people."

It's not a question of politics or party. Congress has a constitutional obligation to impeach and to remove a president who commits high crimes and misdemeanors and forsakes his solemn oath.

And there has never been a president who has committed as many impeachable offenses than this one.
There's a Hill bubble narrative, posing as savvy realism, in treating impeachment as some radioactive poison and so Democrats must squash any talk of it. But there's zero evidence for that. No polls back it up, nor recent history. It's all just pundit-brained conventional wisdom eating its own tail.

The so-called “war” with Venezuela was supposedly about stopping drugs… yet they’re out there seizing an oil tanker.

“We are targeting Venezuela because of DRUGS, not OIL, which is why we are blowing up boats without any drugs and stealing a tanker full of oil.”
