@timmiller.bsky.social and @sarahlongwell25.bsky.social react to the shooting of conservative commentator and activist Charlie Kirk www.thebulwark.com/p/were-in-a-...
People from across the political spectrum need to join together to condemn political violence, no matter who the target it is. It’s never acceptable.
We don’t yet know what motivated the person who shot and killed Charlie Kirk, but this kind of despicable violence has no place in our democracy. Michelle and I will be praying for Charlie’s family tonight, especially his wife Erika and their two young children.
Melinda French Gates’ Pivotal Ventures and Wellcome Leap commit $100M to accelerate women’s health research and close long-overlooked gaps worldwide.
Moskowitz on Mike Johnson: "If he was lying then, is he lying now? ... I don't think in the history of this country we've had a Speaker of the House say the president was an FBI informant ... we need to hear from the FBI."
You shouldn’t have to walk around with papers in the United States of America to prove that you belong. All I can say is that this administration should understand Chicago is a place that’s going to protect its people.

Hakeem Jeffries has appointed Eric Swalwell, Jasmine Crockett, Jared Moskowitz and Jamie Raskin to serve as the democratic members on the new January 6th committee. What great choices in my opinion, all four of these members will fight to make sure the truth is not whitewashed.

To the brave women who spoke today about the horrors of Epstein/Maxwell, I say this: For any legal concerns about speaking the names of people who sexually abused you and others, have no fear of legal expenses; I'm sure plenty of angry Americans will help fund you. Count me in. Get it done.
They keep losing in court because everything they’re doing is illegal
More of this.
Epstein survivors say they’re compiling their own client list. “We know who abused us. We saw who came and went. This list will be survivor-led—for survivors”
“We have the truth. And the FBI knows the truth. The government knows the truth,” Robson said. “You may pull the wool over the sheep’s eyes, but we are the keys, we know who was involved.” trib.al/hYLEtkq
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?"
Robert Mueller was diagnosed with Parkinson’s in 2021. We’re just learning about it now because he was asked to testify in the Epstein matter and won’t be able to. Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2025/08/31/u...
ZERO EXCEPTIONS!! Some things are simply EXCEPTIONAL!

Massive walkout underway at CDC. RFK jr. must resign so that we can be safe.
i find this image so fascinating. it is both a literal example of authoritarianism but also a second-hand reproduction of the aesthetics of other authoritarian states. it's like a simulacra of authoritarianism whose purpose is to attempt to make the simulacra real.
Minnesota is heartbroken. From the officers responding, to the clergy and teachers providing comfort, to the hospital staff saving lives, we will get through this together. Hug your kids close.
Just a general FYI: I get that the CIA and FBI did some shady and crappy things in the 50s-80s. But if you are using those examples as referents for their (legal) powers *now,* you are showing your ignorance of some major constraints that were placed on them by Congress*
To Donald Trump and his administration: If you hurt my people, nothing will stop me — not time or political circumstance — from making sure you face justice under our constitutional rule of law.
🚨 Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce announce they are engaged: “Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married 🧨”
THIS…is the mindset. THIS…is the attitude. THIS…is the fire in the gut….that we are going to ALL have to adopt. I have. Have you? We can’t have people sit this one out…and still prevail.
Pritzker gets it.
Walz says Harris "would have been a fantastic president... we wouldn't wake up every day to a bunch of shit on TV. We would wake up to an adult w/ compassion & dignity doing the work, not a manchild crying about whatever is wrong with him. May his fat ankles find something today. Petty as hell."
The safety of the people of Illinois is always my top priority. There is no emergency that warrants the President of the United States federalizing the Illinois National Guard, deploying the National Guard from other states, or sending active duty military within our own borders.
No surprises here. The administration backed itself into a policy corner & now people & their families are paying the price for MAGA political rhetoric. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...
@rokhanna.bsky.social: “Only 3% of the documents given to the [House] Oversight Committee are new. The rest are already in the public domain. Less than 1% of files have been released. DOJ is stonewalling.” khanna.house.gov/media/press-...
Gravlax sounds wonderful! Share your recipe?!
JUST IN: Judge Berman agrees that effort by DOJ to unseal Epstein grand jury files is a “diversion” when DOJ could just release a trove of far more comprehensive documents without court involvement. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

I do too! I was hoping you’d see this… it was recorded w/ the same producers from Red and Reputation!
Newsom: "He doesn't play by a different set of rules. He doesn't believe in the rules. As a consequence, we need to disabuse ourselves of the way things have been done. It's not enough to just hold hands, have a candlelight vigil, talk about way the world should be...we have got to meet fire w/fire"

Downtown awakes. Wednesday's start in Chicago.
Thank you so much for the great conversation and the real time mind meld on working motherhood ! (If only we’d rolled on juggling sound checks with lunch orders for our children—next time!). You are THE BEST
Get @weissmann.substack.com on there once he’s free!!
Since we passed the Affordable Care Act, Republicans have tried over and over to repeal it. And over and over, they’ve failed — in part because millions of people now depend on the ACA for quality, affordable health care.
LFG!!
oh
Yes, yes, yes!! ✨

BREAKING: EXCLUSIVE: Senator Whitehouse asked the BOP for Ghislaine Maxwells sex offender waiver, custody level, transfer code, and security point score. I have them. She's also been granted the ability to leave the facility for work assignments. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/exclusive-...
Two things can be true: 1) The President has legal authority over the D.C. police and the D.C. National Guard that he doesn't have *anywhere else* in the country; & 2) Even if this doesn't set a legal precedent, it sets an ominous *political* precedent for pretextually overriding local government.
DC statehood is now an imperative. No more dicking around. Next Dem majority, get it done immediately.
'Island with Teasels" linocut by contemporary UK printmaker Angie Lewin #ReframingWomenPrintmakers #LateSumner
Trump shows weakness, permitting Putin (who is under indictment) in the US and traveling to the meeting in Alaska. And what's being reported-giving Russia all of eastern Ukraine - is precisely what Russia was proposing in 2016 with Paul Manafort and others, and would reward its illegal war effort.

This is perfect.
A government-sanctioned "truth arbiter" will soon arrive at CBS. Their role will be to ensure that journalists do not criticize this Administration or express views that conflict with its agenda. This is a betrayal—not just of journalistic independence, but of the public trust. 🧵

'You keep going' by contemporary US artist Martha Rich. Thank you for following #WomensArt 🖤 !!
Did we ever figure out why he was on the roof?
This: weasel words used and her credibility is rightly questioned.
In 2016, Ghislaine Maxwell falsely stated, under oath, that she was not aware that Jeffrey Epstein recruited underage girls for sex (you know, the ones she was actually recruiting on his behalf). She was charged with two counts of perjury for this. Remind me why we give a shit what she says now?
Wednesday's start with wildfire smoke creating haze and a slight stream of fog passing by the Hancock. Today's sunrise in Chicago.

Good news in VOA case! Judge just granted our & wonderful cocounsel & clients motion for order to show cause & strongly called out the government's games He ordered gov to produce a plan for restoring VOA's programming as required under the statute
Nice!!
This is going to be really great. Sign up to stay engaged!
Bove is going to be the new Clarence Thomas, but worse (until he gets elevated): A petulant, vindictive asshole who is going to use the bench to make up for his moral emptiness and deep sense of inadequacy
I think people are misinterpreting this wonky headline. The bombshell story CBS is reporting is that the Epstein jail tape the public got IS missing time and the FULL video exists. The FBI and DOJ have it. So when Bondi said the missing minute is normal, she lied. www.cbsnews.com/news/jeffrey...
