Democrats have legislation that will make Social Security solvent for as far as the actuarial eye can see without cutting benefits. Where's the Republican proposal? It doesn't exist. - @whitehouse.senate.gov

Trump promotes the book by the lawyer who represented Jeffrey Epstein

A civilian medical plane went down after an experimental US military GPS jamming test reportedly disrupted its radar. Every person aboard lost their life. www.yahoo.com/news/us/arti...

In Texas, Tarrant County Judge Tim O’Hare cleared the meeting room, silencing public opposition to the GOP plan to eliminate half of the battleground county’s Election Day voting locations before the midterms.

“There’s a tax on your grocery bill you never voted for. Twenty-five states went to court yesterday to try to kill it—which is the kind of thing that corporate media covers as a simple trade story, when it’s really about Trump raising prices on everything.”

While Washington argued about trade policy, Hochul said the quiet part: this is a tax on groceries and building materials. New York is one of 25 states in court over it. 👇 www.dworkinsubstack.com/p/twelve-day...

A textbook response from an abuser.

🤯 Rep. Max Miller's interview with Jake Tapper was one of the most self-destructive things I've ever witnessed on cable news. Here's the whole thing:

Ahh, all my friends….

This Brain Protein May Be Key to Treating Alzheimer’s

It's called tau and may be more closely tied to cognitive decline than amyloid

Proud to have the support of our state's most impactful organizations. Our campaign is building a broad coalition to take back Tennessee for working families—not billionaires. And with their help, I believe we can flip our state.

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

Cornyn: "There's nothing we could do to rein in the president"

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.

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:

Schiff: "He waited until he became president. Why did he wait to bring this $10b lawsuit? He waited so he would have the power of the presidency to leverage the IRS and DOJ to make him more money!"

Whitehouse speaks for all of us. 🎯

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · yesterday

Whitehouse: "Next we get to this crooked slush fund Trump family tax amnesty scam. We've got these two new pieces of paper. One signed only by Blanche, one not signed by anybody. Neither of which has any legal effect whatsoever. They are decorative. Can you trust Todd Blanche? I do not."

It is literally their job to rein in the President.

Wow. If this isn’t the mentality of Trump’s party in a sound bite I don’t know what is.

Cornyn: "There's nothing we could do to rein in the president"

David Ellison may think we are stupid, but we know who he is. We know what he has done to CBS. We know what he wants to do to CNN. Support independent media.

Booker: "Ghislaine Maxwell is sitting in the lowest possible confinement after giving no information that helped us get one more investigation started and has been silent, and the man responsible for that we're about to make the attorney general of the US ... this is farcical."

Ranking Democrat on the Senate Judiciary Committee, Sen. Dick Durbin accuses Trump's pick for AG, Todd Blanche, of lying under oath during his confirmation hearing. WATCH LIVE HERE: youtube.com/live/NOoruvp...

Blumenthal on Blanche's "walk back" of Trump's slush fund: "Commentators have talked about 'loop holes.' There are no loop holes here. This document itself is a sham ... tomorrow Donald Trump's counsel can go to court and seek to establish that thug fund if he chooses to do so."

A meaningful resolution of Blanche’s IRS deal would have been: - Immunity is rescinded: Trump can refile his lawsuit when he leaves office to avoid conflict of interest; - Blanche agrees DOJ will make no payouts to J6 defendants and other criminals prosecuted by Biden DOJ without court oversight.

Thom Tillis and John Cornyn can go straight to hell.

Cornyn, Tillis confirm they will vote for Blanche

The two holdout Republicans said their deal could assuage other GOP senators, too.

officials weren't keeping residents informed about was happening Residents raised concerns about higher electricity costs, industrial noise & environmental harm, including possible effects on water quality & wildlife Many in Georgia are already living with the environmental effects of data centers

Georgia county halts data centers until 2027 as homeowners push back on neighborhood plans

That meant that officials weren't keeping residents informed of what was happening. People living in Paulding County didn't want that to happen again.
