I worked to expose the DOI’s no-bid contract on the Reflecting Pool earlier this year. And according to court filings, the Justice Department is now blaming the same contractor for construction flaws!

I have a theory that a big chunk of the socialist fear mongering by liberals is really about the fact that it’s perceived as a youth movement and godforbid the young exert political power
Dan O’Sullivan@osullyville.bsky.social · yesterdayNope, nice try. Not doing this to myself. You'll have to kill my ass
Michigan, you can still register to vote in today's election! Polls are open until 8pm. Please vote and if you're in line when the polls close stay in line, you can still vote.
Michigan Department of State@michigansos.bsky.social · yesterdayDid you know that it’s not too late to register to vote? Bring proof of residency to your city or township clerk’s office TODAY until 8 p.m. and cast your ballot. mi.gov/vote
Yep. Earlier this year I was interviewed by Sharyn Alfonsi of 60 Minutes about my Epstein investigation. Subsequently, CBS pulled the segment and fired the reporter. The MAGA buyout of media is aiding the Trump administration’s Epstein cover up.
The New Republic@newrepublic.com · yesterdayBanks permitted millions in suspicious transactions tied to Epstein—and former 60 Minutes correspondent Sharyn Alfonsi had the story months ago. But the report would never air. trib.al/ZShZlIS

This is such complete and utter bullshit on the part of Thom Tillis and John Cornyn. Giving the Trump crime family immunity from tax audits remains as corrupt as anything we’ve ever seen in this country. Todd Blanche should be impeached, not confirmed.
Josh Gerstein@joshgerstein.bsky.social · 2d agoJUST IN: Tillis confirms he is on board with Cornyn to vote yes on Blanche for AG, after Blanche renounces Anti-Weaponization Fund in writing & asserts that the waiver of any past taxes due is limited to POTUS, Don Jr., Eric & Trump Org. Earlier: www.politico.com/news/2026/08...
It is very hard not to have contempt for John Cornyn and Thom Tillis, who have sold their souls to find some fig leaf to support the worst nominee for Attorney General ever. The signed agreement is worthless without the signatures of the parties, namely Trump. The IRS break stands. Moral cowards. 
If you want members of this regime to be held legally accountable, you have to add four seats to the Supreme Court in 2029. Otherwise, they'll protect their fellow oligarchs like they did in 2023. 1. Win the senate 2. Block nominees 3. Elect a dem POTUS 4. Congress adds 4 seats 5. Have nice things

I keep arguing that Dem leadership (Schumer, Jeffries, etc.) are stuck in the 90s, as are many of the high profile Dem consultants and advisors. They think most voters are de facto moderate. This is why their thinking is outdated:
Jake Grumbach@jakemgrumbach.bsky.social · 2d agoWe find that the benefits of moderation found in earlier eras (~1980s-2000s) are gone. Why? Many likely explanations.
