Let’s be clear: The DOJ has already been subpoenaed. They’re legally obligated to release the full Epstein files—and they’re still dragging their feet. It’s a shame we’ve even gotten to the point of needing a discharge petition. (1/2)

I'm in the middle of several long term projects that are vastly more difficult than I had anticipated, and an inner voice spoke: "You weren't born so that some easy stuff could get done." I think that's true. For me, and I suspect, for you. Let's keep that in mind during these times, Okay?

One of my favorite phrases ever, that I heard at a weekend confab not long ago, as applied to certain contemporary American politicians, was the phrase: "Spherical Bastards." The explanation was: "They're bastards, no matter how you look at them.

IDIOCRACY: I can’t get over the fact we’re snapping up working people that are paying withholding and FICA taxes to keep our system afloat. Then the USG contracts with Trumps buddies to create holding camps paying them thousands each day for each prisoner. How long can we sustain this idiocracy?

The Republican plan would raise healthcare costs for working families while cutting taxes for the ultra-wealthy. This is not just a budget bill, it's a heartless attempt to take away from those who need it most.

"There is no arguing with the pretenders to a divine knowledge and to a divine mission. They are possessed with the sin of pride, they have yielded to the temptation.

From back when almost nobody was interested in the Stoics, written more than a quarter of a century ago. Some people tell me it’s their favorite of my books. It’s certainly the least known of all my non academic works and was a transformative joy to write.

I've often heard that our greatest fear is of the unknown. But when I'm in a situation with unknown outcomes and feel fear, I'm not fearing the unknown itself but rather imagined possibilities. And while we can’t control all the unknowns in life, we can grow in control of our imaginations.

@AOC

Members of Congress have legal authority to enter ICE and CBP facilities. Agencies are legally required to allow them entry.

The people who should be facing consequences are those who laid hands on them to disrupt Oversight.

Perhaps that's why ICE agents are hiding their faces.
