@JoyAnnReid@MalcolmNance Rosa Parks my ass. Gun lobby organizing duplicate FB events across swing states. Rosa didn’t sit tight in the front of the bus so you can buy a gun or kill another citizen with a sneeze.
BREAKING: In a stunning moment, Fox News just admitted that Donald Trump is responsible for inflation being at its highest levels in over 3 years. Woah.
@Acyn The cult has turned a lunatic’s irrational hatred of windmills into a fucking “National security” issue.
Orwell would have laughed his ass off at this shit.
Bragging that you dropped $250 million dollars worth of bombs on Iran IN ONE NIGHT, while people are starving and struggling to pay bills and can't get health insurance, is NOT the flex you think it is.
IT IS OBSCENE.
Some thoughts on the new Epstein Files revelations:
I’ve now read everything that’s come out from the new Haberman and Swan book, and the thing I keep coming back to is the Situation Room. They held multiple meetings in the Situation Room about the Epstein files. That room is for war. It’s for national security emergencies. It is not for figuring out how to spin a scandal you’re telling the country is a hoax.
While the President was deflecting or calling this old news, his own Vice President and Chief of Staff were huddled in the most leak-proof room in America because they knew how bad it really was.
You don’t take a nothingburger to the Situation Room.
And I have to be honest, reading all this brings back a lot of frustration about what happened in the House of Representatives. I sat there and watched Mike Johnson send the House home early to dodge a vote on releasing these files. I watched him refuse to swear in a duly elected colleague for months just to stall the discharge petition. Month after month of excuses, arm twisting, and procedural games, all to keep this information from the public. We only got the files because survivors, families, and a handful of members in both parties simply refused to let it go.
So when people ask me why I talk so much about transparency and accountability, this is why. The truth eventually comes out. It always does.
The only question is whether your leaders helped reveal it or helped bury it.
Everyone who voted to keep these files hidden should have to answer for that.
Finally, notice what’s missing from all of this is any sign that Trump’s DOJ will actually investigate the powerful men named in these files.
Draw your own conclusions about why a Justice Department run by the President’s former defense lawyers might not be eager to pull that thread.
NEW: The DOJ’s Civil Division says it has no records of communication related to Trump v. IRS or the settlement negotiations.
For a deal of this magnitude, the absence of records is yet another striking sign of the irregular process that produced an enormously corrupt result.
My response to Trump's unfounded allegation of cheating in Philly's general election:
The only talk about massive cheating has come from one of the candidates, Donald J. Trump. There is no factual basis whatsoever within law enforcement to support this wild allegation. 1/2
