What a surprise. MAGA has been screaming for the Epstein client list for years and, FOR SOME REASON, Donald Trump’s DOJ doesn’t want to release it. They might need to do a redaction first.

I have noticed that as independent media thrives, the billionaire backed legacy media is starting to call itself independent as well. Don't be fooled. Support fearlessly independent, unapologetically pro-democracy outlets like Democracy Docket. www.democracydocket.com/me-subscribe...

Good! I think all subs and contributors to WAPO should do this! In fact, if you see a writer’s byline in WAPO going forward, they should be shunned. There can be no fence riders.

Lee Zeldin was on Fox today talking about clawing back money lawfully appropriated to organizations by legislation like the Inflation Reduction Act simply bc Trump doesn't like it. This is an especially egregious example of how Trumpers have redefined "fraud" to just mean "spending I disagree with."

Republicans are slashing health care and funding for special education. Why? To give more $$ to large corporations in a tax cut. And less to help Californians who need it.

Kieth Olberman is correct to say that the decision by @MSNBC.com to cancel the shows and fire the anchors of color was racist. Those fired include Joy Reid, Alex Wagner, Ayman Mohyeldin, Jonathan Capehart, Katie Phang, and José Díaz-Balart and @nbcnews anchor, Lester Holt.

The Justice Department is not the president's personal law firm. You are not his lawyers. The free press should be exactly that — free. If the facts they report don’t align with the president’s propaganda, tough. And this statement is a disgrace to the DOJ and the rule of law.

Just look at these paragraphs from the AP story. Hegseth called Brown unqualified solely because he's Black. Then they fired him... and replaced him with a white guy so indisputably unqualified that he requires a Presidential waiver. This is what "merit" means to them. apnews.com/article/trum...

It’s imperative at this point that Europe develop a defense posture independent of the United States, which should be treated as the ally of Russia that it has now become.

If any of our former NATO or Five Eyes allies have intelligence data and assessments, which surely they must, about the background of the leader of their new strategic adversary, the United States, now is as good a time as any to release them, subject to protection of methods and sources, of course.
