Somil Trivedi: That we can only provide affordability in healthcare, or we can hold the wrongdoers accountable who stole your affordability and your healthcare. We absolutely better be able to do both.

disturbing the level of resources & time that election officials, elected Dems, & others across the U.S. are devoting to preparing for if Trump tries to sic ICE, troops, or armed feds on their polling sites @justinglawe.bsky.social & I take you behind the scenes on how: zeteo.com/p/inside-dem...

Not a Grant scholar or anything, but it sure looks like calling the guy who signed the Fifteenth Amendment a failure was a deliberate choice.

The day before his release is too early to sue, and the day after—when he flees—it’ll be too late. Oh the majesty of the law. Time to add “just flee to Texas” to “sign up for ICE” and “bribe Trump for a pardon” on the growing list of ways to get away with crimes, now.

In which I fully appropriately call Sam Alito corrupt for ruling on fossil fuels while getting rich off fossil fuels (h/t @truenorthresearch.bsky.social), and fully inappropriately invite myself backstage to meet Phoebe Bridgers, to @leahlitman.bsky.social’s horror/jealousy.

Either we can do round 978 of “defund was a bad slogan and HR trainings were annoying” OR we can take that era’s best ideas —accountability for sexual predators & law enforcement violence — and apply them today…to the sexual predator unleashing law enforcement violence on the country. How bout that?

The corruption that’s eating America alive doesn’t stop with Trump. Supreme Court Justices aren’t above accountability. And my killer research colleagues at @truenorthresearch.bsky.social won’t stop pushing for it. Another banger.

Alito made up to $2.9 million from fossil fuel assets while serving on the top court. Yet the justice won’t recuse himself from key oil and gas cases. “His impartiality may be reasonably questioned in terms of his affinity towards the industry that has helped build his nest egg."

Every story in America today--the slush fund, Esptein, ICE murders, all of it--is about the total lack of accountability for the rich and powerful. Voters are pissed off and checking out. But if we can finally fix it, we unlock everything else. I wrote about how, for @thehill.com. bit.ly/45hkdbJ

If you're hearing spin that the meeting was "productive" and/or these women are just political operatives, remember: they were under oath yesterday and praised Josh Hawley--Josh Hawley--for his conduct in their private meeting with him. They are honest brokers. Blanche is not. #BlockBlanche

NEWS: Epstein survivors just gave Todd Blanche a failing grade after their meeting. "Condescending." "Gaslighting." No plan to go after anyone beyond Epstein and Maxwell. And Sen. Tillis's reaction? Somehow worse.

It's already Todd Blanche's legacy that he protected Donald Trump & and the Epstein Class over female victims of sex abuse. Tell your Senators not to make it theirs, too.

Epstein survivors released this video today urging senators to block the confirmation of Todd Blanche for Attorney General. They’re trying to get to 20,000 signatures on their petition to send a message to the Senate. ujoin.co/campaigns/45...

This filing is impt! Blanche stands in committee today trying to defend the slush fund, his Epstein failures, and his actions as Trump’s personal fixer. Hearing at 9! He must not be confirmed.

Jesse Lee@jessecharleslee.bsky.social · 2mo ago

NYC Bar files opposition to Blanche ahead of his hearing: “The City Bar’s analysis addresses five areas: politically motivated prosecutions, violations of constitutional rights and court orders, misplaced loyalty to the President, the weakening of the DOJ, and questions of professional ethics.”

Justice Barrett would laugh at and rule against anyone who just flat refused to answer a question from her at oral argument. Yet she gets to do this when the robe’s on the other foot. Doesn’t sound like equal branches to me.

Alex Aronson@alexaronson.bsky.social · 2mo ago

Amy Coney Barrett just told Congress that it would be inappropriate to explain the reasoning behind the Court’s unreasoned shadow docket orders. As if unreasoned judicial orders are a thing. They are not. The reasoning is the whole point.

We can have a world where families get to haul ICE killers into court, take their money & badges, and get closure. We can have a world with real accountability. But we need news laws & a new Supreme Court, which took all of it away from us in the first place. Let's demand it back.

Confirmation hearings to permanently install Todd Blanche to lead the DOJ start tmrw, despite undisputed reports that he helped conceal the Epstein files. He should never be considered to hold ANY public office, let alone lead the Justice Department. Watch @katiephang.bsky.social on his cover-up

@katiephang.bsky.social is a triple threat advocate, attorney & journalist, and she’s using all those skills to sue Todd Blanche for covering up the Epstein Files. With his confirmation hearing coming up, we chatted on @legalafmtn.bsky.social about her case. #BlockBlanche youtu.be/g0ddg4Anfwg?...

Don’t believe the lie that the Roberts Court is killing independent agencies to make government “more democratically accountable.” They’ve gutted voting rights, made it impossible to sue rogue officials, defied congressional oversight & refused an enforceable ethics code. They *hate* accountability.

I’m glad the Roberts Court didn’t blow up the Fed today, but it was a policy decision to help Trump and their rich friends, who like the Fed but don’t like other regulators. No other straight faced way to justify the two outcomes.
