I've been irate at how little national coverage the killings of four Black men in Memphis by federal agents have gotten -- and even how little in Tennessee. The root? State lawmakers who wholeheartedly approve of the occupation of Memphis.

Sen Wyden spent 3+ years investigating #Epstein’s money. P66-67 asks for more investigation “DOJ must conduct criminal investigations into Darren Indyke, Richard Kahn, Harry Beller and other Epstein aides.” The bankers knew. That’s sick. #NoProtection www.finance.senate.gov/imo/media/do...

Senator Ron Wyden@wyden.senate.gov · yesterday

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:

🔥 Dr. @abdulelsayed.bsky.social sets his sights on the general election: “I promise you, Mike Rogers, by the time we’re done with — you all of Michigan is gonna know who you are.”

@joshturek4iowa.bsky.social is in touch with what Iowans want - vote for him in November. He will get a farm bill done, and ensure thst farmers can repair their own equipment.

Republican officials were faced with a massive backlash from outraged voters who packed the meeting room — and two overflow rooms — to demand that their voting locations remain open. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

ICE is beginning to outfit Haitian immigrants with ankle monitors after the Trump admin ended their deportation protections www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...

The problem: Modern tractors are basically giant computers. If a sensor fails during harvest, a farmer can replace the broken part, but the tractor still won’t run. The manufacturer locks the software. The repair has to be “authorized” w/proprietary software that only an authorized dealer has. 2/4

El-Sayed: There is so much more that unites us, however much we might disagree with our democratic opponent, there is so much more that unites us than divides us. And so to all of our supporters here tonight watching on TV—tomorrow, we begin to mend fences.

Thus ends the saga of Drunken Judge Jeanine, fired for unsuccessfully prosecuting innocent Americans over the Deflecting Pool.

So now the next step is to find out what Capital One's months-long anti-money laundering review by professionals with decades of law enforcement experience discovered about Trump's 300+ accounts...

Phang: "Capital One said, 'We don't want the business anymore of the 45th president of the United States, his businesses, his failed sons, and his revocable trust.' So you can imagine -- I am just hypothesizing... but it suggests whatever Capital One uncovered was pretty bad. Makes you wonder..."

Now that’s how you do it! Fight a good fight then UNITE behind the winner.

And if she wins, are you going to work to elect the people's choice of Democrat, or throw a purity-hissy fit. Don't get me wrong, I'm a DS, but if the majority isn't ready yet, I'll accept it and get in the car. You can't influence the route of the journey if you're just hollering from the curb.

then vote blue no matter who...don't overthink it

Just got back from voting here in #Detroit. And yes the Fed Observers were present. But Detroit had them handled. They had a bunch of rules saddled on them and they were no allowed to interact with anyone and had to observe form their chairs in the corner.

I will support the Democrat who wins this primary.

No matter who wins tonight's primaries in Michigan, the state Democratic party is launching a rally for all of the top nominees on Friday in Detroit. Pete Buttigieg will join the event - seeking to unify, after a blistering fight between Abdul El-Sayed & Rep. Haley Stevens

Good. Everyone should rally around the winner.
