(1/2) Pam Bondi should show an ounce of the courage Epstein survivors have shown and explain herself for the world to see. They share their stories and trauma with the world to help build a world free from sexual assault and abuse.

The Trump admin is not serious about cybersecurity. They pushed out CISA experts, and Trump’s own OMB Director, Russ Vought, said he wants federal workers “in trauma.” That’s how you weaken America’s defenses.

If this country can find trillions for tax breaks for the rich and wars of choice, it can find the resources to guarantee paid leave for every worker in America.    Virginia led. Now Congress must act. Let's pass the FAMILY Act.

One year after Gerry Connolly passed, Congress has sent his final bill, the Gerald E. Connolly Esophageal Cancer Awareness Act, to the President’s desk. Even while facing his own diagnosis, Gerry kept fighting for others.

Ghislaine Maxwell exploited and abused women and children. Donald Trump and Oversight Republicans are entertaining a pardon for her. It’s sick. We will oppose any effort to erase responsibility for these crimes.

Tomorrow I question Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick about his ties to Jeffrey Epstein. He already lied about visiting Epstein’s island. I’ll be pressing him for answers.

The Epstein files were required by law to be released by December 2025. Pam Bondi failed survivors, failed the American public, and failed to follow the law. On Friday, @oversightdemocrats.bsky.social and I will demand answers for this cover-up.

ICE Director Todd Lyons is stepping down. He’s responsible for directing the mass deportation agenda that has terrorized communities. Masked secret police. U.S. citizens gunned down. Children detained for months. Lyons is out but our fight to dismantle Trump’s mass deportation machine continues.

Tom Homan admitted they’ll arrest anyone — even those who have committed no crime. He fancies himself a tough guy because he’s the enforcer of Trump’s inhumane immigration tactics. But he was too scared to testify before @HomelandDems and me this week.

Oversight GOP launched a task force to expose abuses of power and violations of the Constitution.   Great idea! But it’s hard to take them seriously when they refuse to hold accountable the person violating the Constitution and abusing institutions daily.   Their hypocrisy is showing.

Federal prosecutors have announced charges against former Cuban President Raúl Castro in the 1996 downing of civilian planes operated by Miami-based exiles. MORE: https://www.ktsm.com/us-politics/trump-administration-prepares-to-seek-raul-castro-indictment-as-it-pressures-cuba-ap-sources-say/ 

How long do animals live? [🎞️ thebrainmaze] Original post

Katie Miller: “Do you believe [Epstein] committed suicide or do you believe that somebody else killed him?” Todd Blanche: “I reviewed all the available evidence… The evidence that has been accumulated and reviewed since that time says yes he did commit suicide.”

Redlining was legalized theft. Banks and federal agencies denied mortgages by race and called it “risk.”

My Hamburg is finally *sigh* getting its first school zone—a project that, despite years of planning, almost fell victim to the so-called "parking moratorium": all measures aimed at transforming parking lots into living spaces are reviewed. Do you have something like that where you live?

Latest recording as of just now. The mini game itself functions how I want but there's still things to add from the larger game. #gamedev #gbstudio

We saw aloha in action in the aftermath of the Kona Lows: neighbors stepping up for neighbors, no one waiting to be asked. That is who we are. Now we must match that same spirit with action.

Somehow I never posted the funniest way I have had a mon die in Z-A.

Black women are constantly told to advocate for themselves in healthcare. That is real. But sometimes the issue is bigger than self-advocacy. Sometimes the system is not built to catch us the same way. Do not let one test result shut the whole conversation down.

Trump & Vance are calling the US a Christian nation. What do you think of that? Teach your children, friends & family what the founders said. Freedom of religion is a beautiful thing. It separated us from many oppressive regimes. Are we going to lose that?

You can say "too little too late" but the truth is that Trump's cult is waking up. Things are going to get far worse for Trump when the big economic crash hits.
