holy shit -- Schiff ties Trump's judicial nominees in knots by asking them who won the 2016 before *before* asking them who won in 2020, which results in them sounding like election deniers about Trump's victories!

Capitol One shut down 300 accounts belonging to Trump because they were flagged for potential money laundering. That was 2021. Imagine if this were Biden. How would America react? But yes "liberal media."
Today the New Mexico Truth Commission issued their first interim public report on their investigation into the Epstein case in New Mexico and Zorro Ranch. There is a long way to go & we will continue to stand with survivors. You can read the report here: static1.squarespace.com/static/6a075...

El-Sayed on Islamophobia: "That's the only play they got. They're gonna point at me, they're gonna point at my name, like, 'Wow, he's different.' That's the best you got? You can't actually talk about what you want to do? My name is not raising your gas prices. My name is now taking us to war."
Former DHS Sec. Kristi Noem and Corey Lewandowski dining at Grocer's Table in Wayzata. The sheer audacity. You don't get to brunch in the community you terrorized with Operation Metro Surge's mass deportation raids—not after smearing locals like Renée Good and Alex Pretti as "domestic terrorists".
1/ On Tuesday, Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, D-R.I., read our reporting into the congressional record during a committee hearing on Todd Blanche’s nomination for attorney general.
The money quote is counterfeit. There's no record of El-Sayed saying that. Might be worth pointing this out, if you're amplifying the claim.
ProPublica spoke to about 150 people who had lived in homeless encampments when cities cleared them out in “sweeps.” We distributed notecards so people could tell us about the toll in their own words. This is what they wrote. (Published Dec. 2024)
“I Have Lost Everything”: The Toll of Cities’ Homeless Sweeps
Cities often take belongings — including important documents and irreplaceable mementos — when they conduct sweeps of homeless encampments. ProPublica gave notecards to people across the country so th...

Pullman Innovations was featured in a 2023 Sun-Times investigation that found city citations did little to thwart polluters across Chicago. City inspectors described the facility as having a “very strong odor that could best be described as rotting fish/decay of flesh.”

El-Sayed: "I believe our kids have a right to our tax dollars. I'm about 10 min away from schools that look like they did 50 years ago. Our money should be spent here rather than sent in the form of bombs or tanks to foreign govts, particularly when they are doing most heinous things with them ... "
Donald Trump told reporters he feels "badly" for Max Miller, a Republican congressman accused of abusing his wife, and hopes Miller can "work it out." The only thing less surprising than a Republican politician abusing his wife is Donald Trump empathizing with the abuser.

“Gustavo” is harvesting mangoes in Coachella, CA. “This is very hard work. We start before dawn, but temps are already near 100° while we’re working. It’s physical labor, and it’s hard to do in this kind of heat.” Today’s high in Coachella is forecast to reach 109°. #WeFeedYou

El Sayed this and El Sayed that but I bet you’ve never el sayed a single word to a woman
El-Sayed: "Once a government agency like ICE is told it has impunity to do the worst things and violate the highest law of the land, which is the Constitution itself, I don't think you can reform or retrain. I think we need to start from scratch ... I think we need to abolish it."
How is it that a billion dollar PAC can dump tons of cash into a campaign and remain anonymous. But if I want to donate $25 I have to give you my email address, tell you who my employer is, and give you my home address and phone number? Seems a little inequitable.

I'd love to credit whoever wrote this. No idea. But I'm 100% with its message. When I think of how the '80s ethos, "Greed is Good" has metastasized, it surprises and depresses me. Imagine having so many millions, hundred of millions, even billions & caring about nothing except your own vanity.
How come Mitch McConnell is still getting paid to be a senator, but Lindsey Graham, John McCain, and Ted Kennedy are not?
The rules of the game have changed. Because of you, Michigan. We cannot be bought. Onto November.
Your little oopsie "mistakes" had me worrying for a year of my life about my partner going to jail for up to a decade based on lies likely fed to you by the top of the federal government. Show everyone what you're covering up in these emails and texts. There's a reason you don't want them released.
Boutros acknowledges 'mistakes' in 'Broadview 6' case but says sanctions, special counsel aren't needed
