Epstein survivor Marina Lacerda on the Donald Trump-Jeffrey Epstein reading room: He wanted his name everywhere, right? We gave him that. This is him. This is his birthday present. He wants his name everywhere. His name is here.
This is like how Trump called NAFTA “the worst Trade Deal ever made,” rebranded it as USMCA, and then called it “the best and most important trade deal ever made.”
Jamie Raskin responds to Trump calling for his expulsion: We don’t quite know exactly what triggered him, but it was a rough week for the president in the Judiciary Committee. Maybe he’s got Raskin Derangement Syndrome or something.
Bottom line: We’re doing our job. We’re on the front lines of this struggle against corruption and authoritarianism, and we’re not going to be deterred.
This is not middle school, where he thinks he can expel someone for questioning his authority.
Since the start of his tenure as secretary of defense, Pete Hegseth has sought to delegitimize the accomplishments—and the very presence—of Black people in the military, @ClintSmithIII writes. https://t.co/Kgea8JAp5m
Amazing if four months of war comes to an end with J.D. Vance getting an email "Please DocuSign these documents: IranUSA_MOU_Final_FINAL_ActuallyFinal_V43"
There is no natural liberal world order, and there are no rules without someone to enforce them. Unless democracies defend themselves together, the forces of autocracy will destroy them.
My essay for the May print edition of @TheAtlantic https://t.co/efWUZvHXXx
“We are deeply disturbed to learn so many senior members of the Trump administration gathered in the Situation Room to discuss the release of the Epstein Files as a reputational problem… we are separately concerned Todd Blanche was at that table.”
Elias: Why does California have signature matching? They have it to satisfy the same right-wing zealots who claim there’s fraud, right?
So they do this whole kabuki theater that takes all of this time in order to contend with the fact that people say that if you don’t do signature matching, there’s going to be fraud. And then they get attacked for taking the time to do that very thing.
The fact that the New York Times thinks there’s a middle ground here… Here’s my message: I don’t compromise with Republicans because there is no middle ground between a firefighter and an arsonist, and they are trying to burn down democracy.
This might be hard for Americans to hear, but the USA getting humiliated by its abject failure as a power during this Iran War might be the best thing possible at this time. The country needs to understand there are consequences for electing a crook.
The banana spoon guy is such a moron….Trump doesn’t go to Camp David because he doesn’t make money off of it….he goes to Mar-a-Lago and Bedminster because he charges every visit and taxpayers pay for it straight to his pocket
