Bombshell new report out from my investigators this morning spanning our four year investigation into Jeffrey Epstein’s financial records. This report shows exactly how Wall Street protected Epstein and enabled his sex trafficking for decades. Mega thread following with some key points:

Deutsche Bank, JPMorgan, BofA Enabled Epstein, Wyden Report Says

Democrat Ron Wyden cited nonpublic documents held by the US Treasury in a report that says banks delayed reporting suspicious financial transactions and calls for tougher anti-money-laundering rules, ...

Today is the day to vote progressive. In Michigan, vote for: • Abdul El-Sayed - US Senate. • Donovan McKinney - District 3 • William Lawrence - District 7 • Aisha Farooqi - District 11 • Rashida Tlaib - District 12 And in Missouri vote for Cori Bush - 1st District.

Being endorsed by a republican is a huge red flag for me. I’m having flashbacks of Kamala campaigning with the Cheneys. Like, these people do not help you with your base.

This is the key takeaway: Haley Stevens got everything she could have asked for. AIPAC spent the most it ever has. The party pulled out all the stops. Millions were even spent to spread the false idea that the most popular president in modern US history endorsed her. And it still wasn’t enough.

Abdul El-Sayed’s win represents a big blow to the politics of bygone days. Because if one campaign can show that *that* much money and *that* much old guard support doesn’t guarantee victory, it cracks open what can be imagined. It widens the aperture of what’s possible.

A new report found hundreds of cases where immigration officials misused tear gas, pepper spray, and rubber bullets during protests, the majority of which were peaceful before force was used. Peaceful protest isn't a threat to democracy. A government that attacks people for exercising that right is.

Immigration Officials Misused Weapons Hundreds of Times During Protests, Report Finds

From L.A. to Minneapolis, agents and officers improperly used tear gas, pepper balls and rubber bullets against protesters and journalists.

El-Sayed: "My commitment to Jewish safety is the same commitment that I have to the safety of my own daughters. Because if there is one question of political philosophy that ought to animate us all, it's what would we do if we treated all our kids like they were all of our kids?"

They want money out of politics, money in their pockets, and Medicare for All. Now it's time to unite, build on this momentum, and send Abdul to the U.S. Senate by defeating Mike Rogers. All hands on deck to win big in November.

Talarico’s argument is simple: Stop treating marijuana like a crime. Legalize it. Regulate it. Tax it. Stop wasting police resources on low-level marijuana offenses. Clear the records of people whose lives have been derailed by nonviolent marijuana convictions.
