The Justice Department says it will appeal rather than unredact more Epstein files, after a judge ruled it may be breaking the law.

It has until July 2 to lift the black bars.

[Rep. Mark Pocan @RepMarkPocan]

Pete Hegseth claims promotions should be based on merit.

Great. Then he shouldn't object to explaining why qualified women and people of color are being passed over for promotion.

I spoke in support of @RepLoisFrankel's amendment requiring Hegseth to justify these decisions. Transparency is the bare minimum when careers and military readiness are on the line.

A chilling incident in Syracuse, New York is slowly gaining national attention, and it should terrify all of us.

Yesterday, @syracusedotcom reported that two ICE agents showed up at a polling place to harass an election worker.

Her supposed “crime”? Back in January, PaigeLynne Gonyea shared an Instagram post citing a Minnesota Star Tribune article that identified Jonathan Ross as the ICE agent who shot and killed Renee Good.

Gonyea didn’t leak any private information; by the time she posted it, Ross’s name was already public knowledge and circulating widely across national media.

Gonyea told the outlet that the agents tried to lure her outside the building to “talk.” Fearing what would happen to her in the shadows, she instead invited them inside.

“I’ve seen the news, especially in Minnesota, and I didn’t want anything to happen to me at all,” she admitted.

Sit with that for a moment.

Democracy has eroded so severely that Americans are a) fearful being alone with immigration officials and b) are being harassed by the government for sharing something that was in the newspaper.

The agents provided Gonyea with a form letter, which she later shared.

Per the outlet, it read in part: “This notice officially informs you that it is unlawful to threaten to assault, kidnap, and/or murder a federal official or that federal official’s immediate family member with the intent to impede, intimidate, and/or interfere with the federal official’s duties...”

Gonyea has maintained her position, refusing to delete the post.

“For ICE to come to me over a social media post just feels very 1984 to me,” she remarked. “[ICE] definitely should have known better to not go into a polling place, even if I said it was OK.”

The incident has sparked a broader debate about the potential for federal agencies to be used in ways that might intimidate or obstruct the voting process.

Trump surrogates like Steve Bannon have repeatedly floated the idea of using ICE to intimidate voters to avoid jail.

Moreover, Bannon and other cronies know that a loss in the midterm elections will lead to prosecutions for many of them, himself included.

“And I will tell you right now, as God is my witness, if we lose the midterms, if we lose 2028, some in this room are going to prison — myself included,” Bannon confessed in November.

All of this is lunacy — these people are not terrified of losing an election; they are fully aware that in a functional democracy, they'd be behind bars.

Bannon's remarks were far from the first time a Trump crony has confessed to knowing they ought to be jailed.

Elon Musk famously told Tucker Carlson on the eve of the 2024 election that he NEEDED Trump to win to avoid prison.

This is a dangerous level of desperation, and yesterday, Trump tanked his own party's bipartisan housing relief legislation during a press conference, holding it hostage and demanding the GOP ram through a voter suppression bill.

We are almost at the finish line and November is coming fast.

It is critically important to stay on top of these issues, and crucially, we cannot allow this coterie of whiny bullies to fully destroy our democracy.

Are you going to let them scare you out of exercising your rights, or are you going to vote?

🚨BREAKING: ICE agents stalked a U.S. citizen, at a POLLING PLACE, to pressure her into deleting her post, from JANUARY, about indicting ICE agent, Jonathan Ross.

The exact post read: The ICE agent who shot and killed Renee Good in broad daylight has been identified as Jonathan Ross by the Minnesota Star Tribune. I think today is a great day for Jonathan to be indicted!

FEDERAL AGENTS walked into a polling place… one of the most protected civic spaces we have… to intimidate a citizen, over political speech, about holding law enforcement accountable.

The document they handed her said…

“This notice officially informs you that it is unlawful to threaten to assault, kidnap, and/or murder a federal official or that federal official’s immediate family member with the intent to impede, intimidate, and/or interfere with the federal official’s duties or retaliate against a federal official due to the performance of their duties,”

The document also said she could be subject to both federal and state prosecution.

And just to be clear… The post, in question, wasn’t “doxxing.”

Doxxing is releasing private, non-public information. Repeating publicly reported facts… is not that.

Because law enforcement’s identities are not supposed to be private information, especially when they have been involved in the death, or shooting, of a civilian…

But, instead of upholding the constitution, the current administration is attempting to stretch “threatening” language to cover political speech they don’t like.

And let’s talk about election integrity…

Polling places are legally restricted civic spaces. It is illegal to deploy federal troops, or armed federal law enforcement, to any polling place.

Using that space to confront someone, over speech about federal agents, is highly inappropriate at minimum… and potentially unlawful.

And this isn’t the first instance federal agents have hunted U.S. citizens down to silence calls for government accountability.

Which should alarm everyone…

Because a government that punishes scrutiny instead of answering it, is not a government holding its agents accountable…

It’s a system telling you its agents are above it.
