The father—who's lived in the U.S. for over two decades and has an active asylum application—was reportedly driving with his daughter when he called his wife and said someone seemed to be following them. When they got home, agents got hold of the child. trib.al/VFuC1v3

Republicans would rather shut down the government than help millions of Americans afford health care. This article tells some of their stories, and is a good reminder of what’s at stake.

Thomas downplays precedent. That could mean more reversals, more uncertainty, more rights in jeopardy. Integrity of SCOTUS decisions today? Compromised if tomorrow’s majority can just undo them. visitlink.me/r37yLL?cid=s...

Justice Clarence Thomas says legal precedents are not 'the gospel'

Justice Clarence Thomas says the Supreme Court should take a more critical approach to settled precedent. It is not "the gospel," he says.

Welker to Lindsey Graham as he pushes baseless conspiracy theories in an effort to gin up a scandal about Obama: "Are you trying to rewrite history to distract from the Epstein matter, senator?"

Heading into NYC for a live shot, and this is the sign on one of the overpasses

Take note of everyone protecting the Epstein pedophile ring to shield Donald Trump. Take note of the liars deflecting and distracting. Take note of the MAGA propagandists begging you to look the other way. Never let them live this down. Ever.

Hey @barackobama.bsky.social guessing you think it’s beneath you…but a slander lawsuit may be the only thing these people respect.

Gabbard accuses Obama of “treasonous conspiracy”

I am no constitutional scholar, but I can't help but feel that "the President gets to dictate what every university can teach and what every television station should broadcast" is closer to what the founding fathers were worried about when it comes to free speech than trigger warnings on syllabi.

The GOP megabill guts healthcare, food, and clean energy to fund giveaways to the ultra-wealthy and billions for ICE raids. What can we do? Join Rep. Casar and more great guests for tomorrow’s conversation about our plans for Accountability August and congressional recess: bit.ly/congresscomeshome

In a disgusting display of authoritarian abuse, ICE violently detains an Iranian-born American doctor, even breaking his car window, as he dropped his child off at daycare.

Analysts were instructed to flag the names of prominent perpetrators from the Epstein files because “we don’t want to take anyone by surprise.” My latest: open.substack.com/pub/muellers...

EXCLUSIVE: The Universe of Those with Access to the Epstein Files Keeps Expanding

According to new sources, photos and testimony of the survivors of the Epstein/Maxwell sex trafficking ring were available to even more people in the government than previously thought.

NEW: Minnesota just ranked in the top 5 states for quality of life. No matter what happens in Washington, we’re still focused on making Minnesota the best place to live, work, and raise a family.

MORE NEWS --> Last year, Sen Ron Wyden sought to subpoena the release of Epstein financial transactions on file with the Treasury Department. He asked GOP senators to join him in backing a subpoena. None of them agreed, a Wyden aide tells me: newrepublic.com/article/1982...

Make sure your GOP representative knows that you’re paying attention. Ask Republicans if they’re on the side of transparency or part of Trump’s Epstein cover-up.

Politico & Punchbowl report House Republican leadership is shutting down the Rules Committee - which is essential for moving party-line bills on the floor - for the week rather than vote on Democratic amendments on the Epstein files. Dems have effectively halted Republican legislation in the House:

If there were any doubts about why the Epstein files haven’t been released…

CNN: Would you ever use subpoena power to try to find out more info about Epstein? JASON SMITH: That's not a common thing I've utilized within the Ways and Means Committee CNN: But you did use subpoena power with Hunter Biden JASON SMITH: That was the only time I used it

So wait — Speaker Johnson thinks shutting down Congress to duck 🦆 a vote on the Epstein files will make people talk about it… less? 🤔

Let that sink in for a sec.

We must do everything we can to put a stop to the atrocities being committed by this criminal regime. Show up. Show up for everything. Protests, meetings, town halls, book clubs, Zoom events. You have more power than just your vote.

Trump: "This is like, proof. Irrefutable proof that Obama was seditious. That Obama was trying to lead a coup. And it was with Hillary Clinton, with all these other people. But Obama headed it up ... this is the biggest scandal in the history of our country."
