A simple Google search says Jamie Raskin, Richard Blumenthal, & Gary Peters all took oversight actions last year re treatment of Tate brothers. Then Yassamin Ansari wrote a letter on July 23--again more oversight. None of those efforts made Moira Donegan's July 27 column claiming Dems were "silent."

The Tate Brothers' Should Be The Trumps' Second Epstein Scandal
The truth is much worse than most people realize, and they knew a lot of it.

Brian Beutler@brianbeutler.bsky.social · 6d agoHad the tab open for weeks but finally read the New Yorker's Tate brothers expose. Among many thoughts: that reporting ought to be an existential emergency for MAGA and the international far right, but the reaction is eerily mute due (perhaps) to the decline of reading and weak political opposition.
Jon Ossoff: It's only because Georgia sent me and Raphael Warnock to the Senate that we were able to cap the cost of insulin for seniors on Medicare. I have delivered new MRI machines, upgraded emergency rooms, delivered new mobile mammography units, and upgraded local health clinics.

Ben Mueller’s assignment for his journalism class was to tell a news story—any news story—in the form of an extended Instagram slideshow. Having lived his whole life in Marin, one of the wealthiest parts of America, the high school senior couldn’t help thinking his area probably had some ties to Jeffrey Epstein. “I think it’s very difficult to get an immense amount of money without—this is my opinion—without doing something a little shady,” Mueller says. So he sat on his bedroom floor and spent the next five hours combing the federal database for links to the towns and cities of Marin.He found thousands. Most of them were trivial, but a few things stood out: a 2014 art gala in Sausalito that Epstein helped promote; a meeting with Woody Allen in Tiburon; and—above all—a 2013 email exchange between Epstein and a woman from a modeling agency called Mill Valley Connection.Two days later, on February 12, Mueller posted his story to the Instagram feed of the Redwood Bark, his school’s student-run publication. It was a carousel-style slideshow pitched at readers across the county. “Which Marin towns were mentioned in the Epstein files?” the first panel reads. “Scroll to see how many times your town was mentioned.” Mueller kept his descriptions fairly general and brief: “Mill Valley was mentioned in the context of providing models to Epstein from a woman named Gisele Attias Bonnouvrier.”More than 4,000 people liked the story. The comments filled up with praise: “This is the kind of journalism we need.” “Higher quality reporting than local outlets.” “High schoolers doing better reporting than national news.”About a week and a half later, his journalism teacher, Erin Schneider, called with bad news: Bonnouvrier, the modeling agent, was threatening to sue the school district.What happened next would place Mueller, then-social media manager Madison Bishop, and other Redwood Bark staff members in the middle of a free-speech flash point. The students say they were just doing their homework.Tap the 🔗 in bio to read the full story.📸: @amyharrityView all 1,604 comments

A quick update on the Cyclospora outbreak.
do we need to put the entire 218-seat GOP House caucus on the side of a milk carton? The incomparable Jeff Tiedrich.
It feels like we're all pretty much waiting for news that Mitch McConnell has been irreversibly incapacitated or dead for weeks and the GOP has been doing their damnedest to keep it covered up.
Governor Beshear... Get in your car. Drive to the hospital. Demand to speak to the Senator. No more waffling, no more waiting for them to reply. "I see the Senator now, or I assume he's not coming back and call an election when I leave."
At the Michigan Dems’ endorsing convention his supporters screamed so loudly that they drowned out Haley Stevens’ speech. Many of his most ardent supporters are disrespectful wrecker jackasses. And have been all along.
So nobody has the authority to go to the fuckin hospital and see if Mitch McConnell is dead or alive? This is some bullshit man.
If Andy Beshear doesn’t call for a special election before August 3rd and force Mitch McConnell to prove he can speak in a video, then Andy Beshear becomes the new Merrick Garland. I’m sorry but I make the rules.
All this “is Mitch McConnell dead?” furor reminds me of the “is Paul dead?” hysteria about Paul McCartney back in the day. Only now I hope old Mitch is not merely dead but really most sincerely dead
Read the end about Taylor Farms. Apparently multiple problems with quality control.

Escorting the nine-year-old to a friend’s birthday pool party, I told him I wasn’t going to swim in part because I’m dressed for work. He told me I could just jump in like Mamdani did. This is what socialism does to our children.
It's like we have been sent an appetizer because the main course is taking too long.
