BREAKING: The New Mexico Department of Justice has sued Acting AG Todd Blanche and the DOJ, requesting the court for access to unredacted Epstein-related investigative files that the DOJ has been withholding.
Which is why I’m so grateful to be doing the work of rebuilding the NDP into a national fighting force for the working class, and to see so many people rushing through the wide-open doors of our movement.
It will either be harnessed by progressive politics, to balance the scales of society and make a fairer economy for all… Or it will fuel fascism. That’s the choice. And happily, it's up to us!
This groundswell of populist rage is legitimate, and it’s a completely predictable consequence of our economic system and how it has been managed for the last 50 years. The desire to push back against the smug arrogance and creepy impunity of elites is a defining force in politics today.
People are furious with ultra rich, powerful elites. The social contract has been broken. People who work for a wage or salary (not a dividend or bonus) just can’t make the household math make sense. And we’re looking up at the unlimited wealth of the 1% and we are pissed.
A wave of progressive populism is defying political gravity (ie big money) and upending primary season in the US. It’s exhilarating to witness. 🧵

I knew this was coming. That judge who has the files now in based on Katie Phang's lawsute can actually order Blanche to comply with any and all requests made of him by any government within the country or internationally. France would likely be very interested in these. So would the UK.

Carney invited Kevin Roberts to speak to his cabinet and then called it off in September of last year. Carney is a Catholic. When will people get that he's working as much of Project 2025 here as he can because HE'S ALWAYS BEEN PART OF IT? Jesus H Christ are Canadians ever blind.
