Dr. Demetre Daskalakis resigned from the CDC in protest of RFK Jr’s actions that harm America’s public health: “There is a weaponization of the CDC. There is an expunging of science and it’s being replaced by conspiracy,” says Daskalakis. “It will take decades to undo.”

Lyrics to “Join ICE” by Jesse Welles. They are great, reminiscent of the protest songs of the 1960s. Maybe young people will get inspired to join the resistance.

A conservative legal expert Andrew C. McCarthy posted on X: “Disobeying an unlawful order is required.” The six lawmakers simply stated the law.

Fox News and other right-wing media purposely omit the word “illegal” and amplify Trump’s calls for the death penalty.

Elissa Slotkin: “He is trying to use fear as a weapon. He is trying to distract us from whatever he doesn’t want to talk about — the Epstein files or whatever else. But he is also trying to intimidate people out of criticizing him. That’s the entire game here.”

Democratic leadership Jeffries, Clark and Aguilar released a statement condemning Trump’s death threats against democratic lawmakers.

“We unequivocally condemn Donald Trump’s disgusting and dangerous death threats against Members of Congress and call on House Republicans to forcefully do the same.”

New emails show a surprisingly close relationship between Bannon and Epstein at the time when Epstein was already convicted of a sex crime and accused of worse.

Timmy, named after “tiny Tim”, was abandoned at night at a local pound. We adopted him the next day. At first he was traumatized and frightened but very quickly curiosity prevailed. #Caturday

Rep. Raskin talks about the original scandal in the Epstein case: a non-prosecution agreement offered to Epstein by Alex Acosta in 2008. At that time Acosta served as the US Attorney for the Southern District of Florida. In 2017, Trump nominated Acosta for Secretary of Labor.

Norm Eisen and Luke Russert discuss the corruption of the administration where all top level DOJ officials are Trump’s personal lawyers who see covering up the Epstein scandal as their duty to the president.

“We just like that he makes the right people mad. He hates the people we hate.” — Tom Nichols describes a significant portion of Trump voters who like Trump for his vengefulness, who see in Trump’s anger a reflection of their own anger.
