MacFarlane: Welcome back to the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, which has retained its very swampy, green-like color. It’s still fenced off. It’s still inaccessible. It’s still not in its best shape. It is reflecting again, but it’s almost like it’s quarantined in its green-like state.

Former CIA Director John Brennan has formally sued the current government, demanding that they retain all files related to the political investigation against him. It seems everyone keeps records; it's just a matter of seeing who gets exposed first.

the use of “performative” as an insult here is why these people are losing their primaries. yes, voters want you to perform their anger and disgust! they want representatives to represent their symbolic interests! the idea that good representation is necessarily quiet and unobtrusive is wrong!

Why it matters: Rep. Diana DeGette (D-Colo.) was a staunch progressive, not a moderate, these members are privately fuming. So why did she become a target of the left? "One more case in the growing dynamic of performative politics," one House Democrat, speaking on the condition of anonymity to share candid analysis on the results, told Axios. "Diana was an excellent representative with seniority — but the style of someone younger and more outspoken has become more attractive to that cohort of motivated urban left voters." A senior House Democrat called the result a "wake-up call" for members of Congress

They hit the nail on the head. The current Supreme Court and DOJ are being weaponized for partisan agendas. A string of rulings stripping away voting rights and undermining democracy is utterly nonsensical. Decades of right-wing packing have turned checks and balances into a joke

Phang: Inside his order, Judge Sullivan said that I am likely to succeed on the merits of my lawsuit, which speaks to the bigger success. Because the ultimate goal is the entirety of the Epstein files being produced, including the shit that Blanche continues to sit on…

I'm not sure if Ken Paxton heard these questions about the pedophile he pardoned, so everyone in Texas should keep asking Paxton about the pedophile he pardoned, and maybe ask other Republicans about the pedophile Paxton pardoned and see if local media cares about the pedophile Paxton pardoned and

Q: Why did you give a plea deal to a child sex predator? Do you have anything to say about that? Paxton: (No response.) Q: Should he be registered as a sex offender in Texas? Paxton: (No response.) Q: What do you have to say to the victim of Adam Hoffman? Paxton: (No response.)

Epstein survivor Dani Bensky: When you have somebody like Todd Blanche at the helm of the DOJ, it’s hugely problematic. He has the president’s best interests at heart. He does not have the American people’s best interests at heart. He’s so unfit to be the acting attorney general.
