Incredible nonsense from John Cornyn. True, the harm to Epstein’s victims can’t be remedied by a “no” vote. But why should Blanche’s corrupt cover-up of the Epstein files—in violation of a Congressional mandate(!)—be rewarded by “yes”? Can’t get any more craven than this.

El-Sayed: "My commitment to Jewish safety is the same commitment that I have to the safety of my own daughters. Because if there is one question of political philosophy that ought to animate us all, it's what would we do if we treated all our kids like they were all of our kids?"
Abdul El-Sayed was outspent 9-to-1 by AIPAC and corporate Super PACs in the most expensive Senate Democratic primary of all time. Last night, he proved that organized people can beat organized money.
A vote to confirm Todd Blanche is a vote against justice for Epstein survivors.
Does anyone remember when we would go to a shop to get a replacement for a burned out tube in your TV?
Kelley@11kelleyk.bsky.social · yesterdayExcept when the tv died. Or the record player. If they couldn’t be fixed, you were stuck with this giant piece of furniture.
We can hardly wait. Our Congress passed a bill demanding that this happen, but they seem too corrupt/intimidated to follow up on it. We're hoping to replace most of them soon, but whatever you can do will be helpful & much appreciated. #ProudBlue
If you aren't angry then you aren't paying attention.
The Dems should start labeling the GOP and Trump as “Corporate Socialists.” They always have money to help big business but never for the individual American.
When are Americans going to rise up and say no more? You say you are the greatest country in the world but you treat your citizens like shit!
Bernie just explained in simple terms why billionaires spend so much money to buy politicians, judges, and legislators.
McConnell would never stay silent if he could have a say in something political.
Raw Story@rawstory.com · 3d agoUnder a never-before-tested Kentucky law, Monday could be the last chance to call a special election before the midterms to fill the seat widely believed to have been effectively left vacant by Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) for more than a month.
"kicked off of for purely political reasons not budgetary" This administration makes me sick!
Over 20 years, Peter Thiel quietly turned his Roth IRA into a gargantuan tax-exempt piggy bank. Using stock deals unavailable to most people, the billionaire took a retirement account worth less than $2,000 in 1999 and spun it into a $5 billion windfall. From the archives:
Lord of the Roths: How Tech Mogul Peter Thiel Turned a Retirement Account for the Middle Class Into a $5 Billion Tax-Free Piggy Bank
Roth IRAs were intended to help average working Americans save, but IRS records show Thiel and other ultrawealthy investors have used them to amass vast untaxed fortunes.

Does anyone remember the term ‘scapegoat? Why is it so difficult for trump to admit a mistake….shades of Roy Kohn’s mentoring?!

any person with an ounce of hope for women would never have voted for the confirmation of Kavanaugh,or against the impeachment of trump because as she said,”I think he’s learned his lesson”.I am 80+, and readily say age limit on public office should be 70(at the end of elected term). Time 2bow out!
