Dems "need to just go at this stuff and they need to *very* personalize it. I would be putting billboards in front of Mike Johnson's church, saying, does Mike Johnson support a pedophile? Child sex trafficker in a Club Fed?" Stuart Stevens joins Tim Miller:
Democrats just MASSIVELY overperformed in 2 Florida special elections. House 40: Harris +35 → RaShon Young +50 (75–25). Senate 15: Harris +23 → Lavon Bracy Davis +45 (73–27). That’s 15- and 22-point swings toward Democrats.
As concerns that Trump could be deploying National Guard troops as a test run for future election interference, we take a look at one law that will impact stationing federal troops at the polls themselves. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...
More of this.
Oh.
Raskin: "The dictators of the world have got nothing to fear from this hearing. Republicans called it to attack our democratic allies in Europe. The star witness is not a human rights leader like Navalny, but a far-right pro-Putin politician who leads the UK Reform Party."
We are overdue for a “ Have you no decency” kind of moment.
A political novice's campaign to unseat Sen. Susan Collins is off to a strong start Graham Platner, an oyster farmer and combat veteran, represents a new pugilistic approach to Democratic politics.
Pritzker: Any rational person who has spent even the most minimal amount of time studying human history has to ask themselves one important question: Once they get the citizens of this nation comfortable with the current atrocities committed under the color of law, what comes next
Rep Luna says after talking with Epstein Survivors today, it's clear this thing is ALOT BIGGER than we could have Anticipated - Rich and Powerful People need to Go to Prison
WATCH LIVE: Epstein Victims Press Conference in DC
Republicans in Congress are trying to DEFUND the Department of Education. That means bigger class sizes and less help for students who need financial aid.
WAKE UP! The survivors of Jeffrey Epstein deserve justice. They deserve to be heard. Today at 10:30 AM EST / 7:30 AM PST, they’re speaking live at a press conference. The system tried to bury the truth, but these voices are rising anyway. Watch. Share. Don’t look away. (Link in 🧵)
A victim of convicted sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein has revealed how a group of survivors is compiling a client list of their own.
🚨Governor Pritzker has no fucks. He is not playing games with the host in D.C. Chicago is not a piece on a board, it is a city - just like LA and DC. Rolling over is not an option.
Jasmine Crockett GOES OFF on Ghislaine Maxwell "She's a Monster"
Massie: "The Speaker of the House just offered a fig leaf to my colleagues. They're gonna vote on a non-binding resolution today that does absolutely nothing ... they're allowing the DOJ to curate all of the information that the DOJ is giving them ... the perpetrators are being protected"
De Georgiou: And to be clear, the only motive for opposing this bill would be to conceal wrongdoing. You have a choice: stand with the truth or with the lies that have protected predators for decades.
Governor Pritzker and Mayor Johnson were awesome. Chicago is the City of Big Shoulders. I'm hopeful.
This is pretty devastating stuff www.youtube.com/live/q6fUosr...
Mike Johnson faces escalating pressure as House GOP prepares for Epstein vote.
100 VICTIMS is astounding. Even more astounding, that's less than 10% of Epstein and Maxwell's victims.
It sure didn’t take long for Jeanine Pirro to turn the DC US Attorney’s Office into the most incompetent, feckless, and ridiculous prosecutor’s office in the United States.

“.. Quite a hot mic moment on CCTV in Beijing today as Putin and Xi, both 72 years old, are caught casually talking about living to 150 and maybe forever thanks to organ transplants. (As picked up by Bloomberg.)” (via @yarotrof.bsky.social)
YES.
🚨Governor Pritzker is calling Stephen Miller OUT! 👏🏻The👏🏻Cruelty👏🏻is👏🏻the📌
Pritzker: "He has no idea what's he's talking about. There is no emergency that warrants deployment of troops. He is insulting the people of Chicago by calling our home a hellhole, and anyone that takes his word at face value is insulting Chicagoans too."
See through it.
Pritzker: When did we become a country where it's okay for the president to insist on national television that a state should call him to beg for anything, especially something we don't want? Have we truly lost all sense of sanity in this nation that we treat this as normal?
Dear 2nd Amendment voters: If Trump can send the Texas National Guard into Illinois against that state’s will, what stops the next president from doing the same, except to take your guns?
The Supreme Court has original jurisdiction for disputes between states (meaning they can actually file the lawsuit there, rather than have it go up on appeal). This would be a good time for Illinois to utilize it.
This hits harder than when I saw this movie the first time. #CaptainAmerica

It's really quite a thing to have a Secretary of Energy who does not understand, ummm... energy.
So they re-released most of the same shit they gave the GOP binder crew in February? Color me shocked. Never thought I’d say this, but I’m with Massie. Release the rest of the damn Epstein files, not this cherry-picked bullshit.
BREAKING EXCLUSIVE: Not only will Reps. Ro Khanna and Thomas Massie be at tomorrow’s press conference with the Epstein survivors — but Marjorie Taylor Greene will be there as well.

It’s not just that the President of the United States posted a video of eleven people being murdered in international waters it’s that the President of the United States ordered the murder of eleven people in international waters so he could post a video of it.

We’re back in session after Speaker Johnson let us out early at the end of July, feeling the pressure from our subpoenas for the Epstein files. Today, @oversightdemocrats.house.gov sat down with survivors who endured horrific abuse. What we heard was beyond disturbing. (1/2)
As many as 100 survivors of Jeffrey Epstein and other victims of sexual abuse are expected to attend a rally Wednesday in Washington, D.C. as a bipartisan Congressional effort gains steam to force the U.S. Department of Justice to make public its controversial files on the disgraced sex trafficker.
Pritzker: "It breaks my heart to report that we have been told ICE will try to disrupt community picnics and peaceful parades. Let's be clear -- the terror and cruelty is the point, not the safety of anybody living here."
Pritzker: "When did we become a country where it's ok for the US president to insist on national television that a state should call him to beg for anything? Especially something we don't want. Have we truly lost all sense of sanity in this nation that we treat this as normal?"
“Rather than defending civil liberties and civil protections, you’re turned inward to potentially hinder [them].” In June, we sat down with a veteran and military law expert to discuss “being used against your neighbor” as a soldier.
Khanna: It’s going to be a bombshell press conference tomorrow at 10:30 a.m. The American people will hear directly from survivors of the Epstein abuse. And they’re not just going to talk about Epstein’s and Maxwell’s abuse — they’re going to talk about rich and powerful men…
Pritzker: "Any rational person who has spent even the most minimal amount of time studying human history has to ask themselves one important question: once they get the citizens of this nation comfortable with the current atrocities committed under the color of law, what comes next?"

The president is sending the military to control American cities and if you're a reporter who's framing that illegal power grab as "pushing the boundaries of constitutionality" or "acting boldly to fight crime" or whatever, please go find another line of work where you won't get us all killed.
That Pritzker press conference was... surreal, and I think marks a significant moment of escalation in the constitutional omni-crisis. This was the governor of a state saying plainly the Union itself is being torn apart and his state is being militarily invaded by an authoritarian regime.
Just this week, Trump administration cuts forced a clinic researching pediatric cancer to shut down And the worst part is, this wasn’t the first time
Voters are angry and not letting up. Good.
This is the secretary of energy and also why climate advocates almost universally feel like jumping into a volcano.
I know, I know, but: The president of the US saying, literally, "we're going in" in reference to sending the military to an American city for no reason beyond terrorizing the local population should be the most immediately impeachable shit imaginable
Fox News had to pay 3/4 of a BILLION dollars for lying to its viewers. And it STILL lies.
I'm aware that the President likes to go on television and beg me to call him to ask for troops. I find it strange, as Chicago doesn't want troops. I also have experience asking him for assistance – just to have the rug pulled up from underneath me when execution meets reality.
I don’t know who needs to hear this but the National Guard of one state can’t invade another state. They are separate sovereigns
Pritzker: "I refuse to pretend that any of this is normal ... I refuse to fall into the pundit trap that demands we sacrifice vital constitutional rights if it's being done in the fake guise of fighting crime."
you'd think the governor of illinois basically going "we're being invaded by an authoritarian" would be something you'd see real easy on the front page of most everything an hour later
Never forget this: Working people outnumber the billionaires and CEOs by a huge margin. If workers stand together, they will win. Solidarity.
He doesn’t care! He’ll continue doing it anyways!
NEWS: A federal judge has ruled that Trump’s deployment of military forces to Los Angeles violated the Posse Comitatus Act, a law that prohibits the use of the armed forces as a domestic police force.
He won’t stop. This will get worse, unless Americans wake up on time and stop him.

Something that has been missing from the Trump administration’s review of the Epstein case: considering the survivors. This week, they speak out, and we should all be listening. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

After its flagship crypto venture opened trading of a new digital currency Monday, the Trump family notched as much as $6 billion in paper wealth.
Trump sends the National Guard to blue cities while ignoring rising crime elsewhere. VoteVets’ Max Rose: “If Trump cared about safety, he’d have a national strategy — not stunts.” All politics. Zero leadership.
In a recent interview, Governor Pritzker discussed that he believes that Donnie's eagerness to put troops in US cities stems from Donnie's intention to make false claims about the upcoming 2026 elections & would be "an invasion". #PINKS
Meiselas: Xi Jinping and Modi and Putin and all these world leaders are gathering in China, and they're laughing. You know when Donald Trump says the world was laughing at us — the world was not laughing at us before. The world is quite literally laughing at us right now.
