If Congress doesn’t act, the last nuclear arms control treaty between the U.S. and Russia will expire. It would pointlessly wipe out decades of diplomacy, and could spark another arms race that makes the world less safe. This piece is worth the read.

Most of Epstein’s victims were either too frightened to come forward, or silenced through legal threats. Oh, and here’s a senior British politician giving Epstein tips on how to silence them

I made a promise to Alex’s parents to continue to tell his story.

An ICU nurse at the VA, an outdoorsman, a deeply generous, compassionate friend and family member, and a true son of Minnesota. Rest in peace, Alex.

Beyond the big tech companies, there are a lot of US products that we in Europe can easily boycott.

I have been buying Colgate lately. I won't any more.

Going forward I will choose European products instead. Bye Colgate.

IMMORAL…

This drawing was made by one of the 5 year old El Gamal twins. It shows children behind bars with the caption, “I’m 5 years old.”

An immigration judge denied them bond, citing “insufficient assets.” These children could remain in detention for years while their case is appealed.

The point here was never ratings — it was to destroy the concept of network tv journalism during an attempted fascist takeover. They don’t care about the ratings — they just don’t want CBS pushing back on ICE, tariffs, LGBT rights erosion

Genuinely the fact that there is an undercurrent in right wing thought that has held that "we should have a Civil War because we have the guns; they will be scared enough to surrender by lunch and we can reshape society as we see fit afterwards" that never considered others have conviction.

They figured out a nifty way to keep the Epstein files out of the news cycle: publicly execute American citizens.

Went to my local library this morning to do a bit of research for my current book project and my goodness such a life-affirming space! There was an adult being taught to read on the next table, children enjoying story time, countless people taking out books. So grateful for our libraries ❤️

Reporter: You received a letter from AG Pam Bondi making several demands….

Walz: I would just give a pro tip to the AG. There's 2 million documents in the Epstein files we're still waiting on. Go ahead and work on those

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

To those blaming Walz for not mobilizing the Guard, he did that six days ago. I have to say it's disturbing to see people angry at Walz instead of the government agents that just executed a man. As though we should all be experts about what to do when a secret police force invades an American city.

The behavior of the Reps during the Jack Smith hearing today left no doubt that they are committed to ending the rule of law, abrogating the Constitution, and doing anything necessary to declare Trump an absolute dictator for life.

Jack Smith is an exemplary public service who always does his job.
