Chuck Grassley's goat

Won the Nobel price of love 1922. Chuck Grassley should resign. He should build a time machine and resign 30 years ago.

“No alternative but to take his word” motherfucker you’re a lame duck who got turfed out of your own party in favor of an actual felon because you were insufficiently groveling to these guys. You’ve got plenty of choice. You’re free. What you’re lacking is courage and dignity.

Cornyn: "As to the idea it could be revived in the future, I think it's highly unlikely that could happen without the cooperation of the DOJ. And I think Mr Blanche gave us the assurances that it was dead and would not be revived and in this case we have no alternative but to take his word" 🙃

One more interesting point: this spring I sat down with Sharyn Alfonsi of 60 Minutes for an extensive interview about my Epstein investigation. Subsequently, CBS pulled the segment and fired the reporter. The MAGA buyout of media has unquestionably aided the Trump administration’s cover up here.

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:

I'm not in Ohio 7th district. But if I was, I'd vote for a guy who didn't throw boiling water at his ex-wife or broke his daughter's collarbone. I would also vote for a guy who's policies are pro-workers, pro healthcare. I can't agree with his stance on the Browns though.

No one credibly accused of holding a gun to his wife's head and breaking their two-year-old daughter's collarbone belongs in the halls of power. Help defeat Max Miller in November. https://secure.actblue.com/donate/bpx82

Sen. Bernie Moreno (paraphrased): On second thought, now that it's clear this is making me personally look awful, I say domestic abuse, lying about it, and failing basic standards of character like that has no place in the Republican Party, except at the top, and some other places too. Thank you.

senator bernie moreno finally makes a statement about the allegations of abuse by rep. max miller against his daughter and granddaughter after miller went live on X this morning to deny everything.

I'm a prison abolitionist and I say we put him in jail and throw the keys away. I don't even need a trial for this guy. It's like he's auditioning for the role of an abuser on a TV show. His lawyer (who likely told him to not say a word about that) likely had a stroke watching this.

Rep. Max Miller: "My former wife has claimed that during a custody exchange at my home that day, I assaulted her…If I had assaulted her, would she have offered to cook me dinner six days later?"
