Dem politicians, take note. “If Democrats want to earn the votes of that 89 percent of Americans who’ve lost faith in their government, they must — every one of them who wants our vote — publicly promise to prosecute these people.” www.dailykos.com/stories/2026...

Apparently people are sharing this far and wide on social media, which I think is horrible. This could cripple ICE operations. PLEASE do not share this.

If the Dems win the House, it will be in spite of, not because of, “leaders” like this. @dailykos.com is right. If this is what he’d be like as Speaker, the Dems would do themselves a favor by electing a progressive as Speaker.

Hmm. The IRS under Trump's administration tried to destroy Trump by not preventing a contractor from releasing Trump's taxes? What could be in the tax returns that could destroy someone? The DOJ/IRS should investigate! Wait..... 🤔

Did Trump attack Iran just so he could claim he ended “another” war later, as a distraction from his child rapist allegations, or to do a solid for his friend Bibi? It’s maddening that he treats our military like his personal plaything.

Everyone who doesn’t want full transparency is presumptively named in the files. “Innocent” billionaires should want everything released to exonerate themselves. (You know some guy making $50,000/year wasn’t even on Epstein’s radar.)

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

Whenever you talk about how crappy things are right now, be sure to lump the entire GOP together, as well as the few Dems that are enabling them. Not just ICE, not just Trump, ALL of them. Tie all of the GOP policies to them and make them face the consequences at the ballot box.

We already have complete access to Greenland, including unfettered freedom of navigation into the Arctic. We have a military base. We have early warning radar systems in place that will integrate with the “dome.” And we have allies to help defend it. We don’t need Greenland.

Incidentally, KBJ just sniped at Kavanaugh over his Kavanaugh Stops opinion in a footnote today joined by Sotomayor. She isn't letting this one go. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...

Contemporary commentators predicted that our decision in Lyons
would close the door to “a broad range of analogous lawsuits” aimed at
systemic misconduct and abuse on the part of law enforcement. R. Fallon, Of Justiciability, Remedies, and Public Law Litigation: Notes on the
Jurisprudence of Lyons, 59 N. Y. U. L. Rev. 1, 71–72 (1984). That prediction proved accurate. Today, courts routinely rely on Lyons to deny
plaintiffs standing to seek injunctions against future police behavior.
See, e.g., J. W. ex rel. Tammy Williams v. Birmingham Bd. of Educ., 904
F. 3d 1248, 1267 (CA11 2018) (per curiam); Shain v. Ellison, 356 F. 3d
211, 216 (CA2 2004); Whitfield v. Ridgeland, 876 F. Supp. 2d 779, 787–
788 (SD Miss. 2012); see also Noem v. Vasquez Perdomo, 606 U. S. ___,
___ (2025) (KAVANAUGH, J., concurring) (slip op., at 4) (concluding that,
under Lyons, Latino plaintiffs who were “stopped for immigration questioning allegedly without reasonable suspicion of unlawful presence”
lacked standing to seek an injunction).

The message from the White House this morning is that, once again, it falls on ordinary American citizens to remain calm and professional when dealing with the heavily armed agents of the government because they are very emotional and might fly off into a murderous rage at the slightest insult.

🧵Guarantee it's the Epstein money trail that's spooking Trump more than the child rape. As soon as Trump took office, he immediately blocked the 4-year congressional investigation into Epstein's assets. He also immediately revoked access to all sensitive docs.

False. I recently checked the ADL data, which has some issues because they include non-ideological murders. But even with those removed, over the past decade right-wing extremists would account for about half of the murders, with about 35% by Islamist extremists, and 8% by left-wing extremists.
