go.bsky.app/QYt6Qwd Pam Bondi seems to lie like 47. She said terrible crimes were committed in Boston, but all examples were not in Boston. If you want to stop crime, start at the Top. Then Red States. Stay out of Chicago, Boston, Los Angeles. Follow and get behind your mayors.

A reminder that Jeffrey Epstein died in the first reign of Chump. In a federal facility overseen by his Attorney General, Bill Barr. The same Bill Barr whose father first gave Epstein access to kids and a job at the Dalton School when he had zero qualifications to teach there.

I know we're all hoping that the #EpsteinFiles will be THE final straw. But I'm with @piperformissouri.bsky.social on this. Forget the cult. The right win influencers are MAGA; they make $ off MAGA. Focus on the 37% who didn't turn out in November. jesspiper.substack.com/p/the-epstei...
That is why the non-release of the Epstein lists or tapes or files will not sway a true Trump follower. They worship him, and they already know the worst about him.

They know he mocks those with disabilities. They know he grabs women by the p*ssy. They know he said he’d date his daughter. They know he walked in on naked young women backstage during pageants. They know he cheated on all of his wives. They know he doesn’t pay his bills and stiffs those who work for him. They know he lies on a daily basis.

They know he has 34 felonies and a sexual abuse conviction.

They already know all of the worst, and even if the Epstein files were released, and his name were at the top, there would be a reason. Or they would make one up.

Trump pushed for it—here it is. 📌 Greg Abbott just called a special session for Monday, July 21, to redraw congressional maps and help Republicans cling to the House. And the shady business didn’t start today 📌 TX-18, a Democratic seat, has been vacant since March. Abbott delayed it until Nov.

So if your response to the best news Democrats have gotten in a decade is to try to find some preposterous avenue toward interpreting this as a bad thing, ask yourself if you have actual hard evidence that this is a bad thing or simply have become incapable of believing that good things can happen.

Perfection! If Trump's budget bill is so Big and Beautiful, then Dems are doing the nation a big favor in forcing a reading of the entire 900+ pages. The GOP must be proud of every word and how it'll confirm their promises to Americans. Right? Watch Sen. Booker's stream below! #ReadingIsFundamental

I don't think we're in a democracy anymore. Unmarked secret police kidnapping people off the street? A dictator mobilizing the military against civilians? Defying court orders? Ignoring due process? Arresting political opponents? Democracy has left the building. We CAN & MUST get it back, though.

Open secret: authoritarian regimes strive for the image of monolithic strength; however, they are always much more fragile than they appear to be. Our task, if we choose to accept it, is to find nonviolent ways to divide the authoritarian regime against itself. #prodemocracy

It's important to understand the irreparable harm argument against deploying the national guard in California. Trump is taking essential personnel away from fighting fires and drug trafficking to guard federal buildings against no one. Immigrants aren't the danger. Trump is.
