The vast majority of Republican politicians would rather be officeholders in a dictatorship than citizens in a democracy. They have chosen to be traitors.

Dear Americans,
I always thought when your government inevitably built concentration camps for you that you would care more. I thought you’d know that even his supporters would be in danger. I thought much too highly of you.
Love,
God

1. In an unusual press briefing today in AZ, Sec. Kristi Noem made the extraordinary (but vaguely delivered) claim that as head of DHS, she has authorities over elections, including to make sure that “the right people are voting and electing the right leaders to lead this country.” That is false.

A sitting member of Congress just publicly said: “I am not suicidal.” That alone tells you how far this country has fallen. The fact that Thomas Massie felt compelled to say this is not drama—it’s a WARNING. This is not normal. This is not healthy. This is not how a functioning democracy behaves.

Solid gold. We must protect Jamie Raskin at all costs.
If you missed the exchange between @raskin.house.gov and Pam Bondi today, watch this masterful statement from him on behalf of the Epstein victims:
“You are siding with the perpetrators and you are ignoring the victims. That will be your legacy.”
Repost if you agree she is the worst AG in history.

This is incredible. Like the previous few years, near all of the electricity capacity added to the grid was clean energy. The Inflation Reduction Act helped this - it made solar & wind cheaper but it also for the first time had a standalone incentive for grid storage. Look at the growth in storage!
Final EIA-860 is out, and 2025 really did it: 54 GW of new U.S. electric capacity, 96% clean. Solar again carries the offense, and we built more storage in 2025 than the cumulative total through 2023. More and more and more additions... but also record low retirements.

Why did Trump move Ghislaine Maxwell to a Club Fed?
She was sentenced to 20 years in prison for trafficking and raping children.
He didn’t just move her.
He gave her a puppy.
I want the press to ask this question every single day.
Not just of Blanche and Bondi.

ICE has now spent over half a BILLION dollars just on purchasing warehouses around the country to convert into detention camps.
If these mega-camps are utilized to the full capacity ICE intends, they'll be the largest prisons in the country, with little real oversight. www.ajc.com/politics/202...

Best bet is to presume anyone calling for us to just move on from the Epstein files absolutely knows why they are important and they want that truth suppressed.
Last week the far right started peddling a narrative that the outrage over Epstein is a moral panic. Today, like clockwork, a more polite version of that narrative appears in the Atlantic.

Around the world, politicians and businessmen are resigning from their positions because of the Epstein Files.
Except in the United States.
Here: Zero shame, zero consequences.
We need resignations, investigations, impeachments, and punishments now. Should have been years ago.
