Ro Khanna on why Speaker Johnson sent the House home early: He doesn’t want Epstein to become the issue before the midterms, and he doesn’t want votes on the Iran war to become the issue.

On the day DOJ went 0-22 in court, and the 6th Circuit rejected its petition to review its defeat en banc, the AAG is left celebrating the dissents. Elias Law Group remains undefeated and we are not tired of citing majority opinions!

This is the first time I've ever heard Service members complaining about the conditions on board a military ship. So bad that they jump ship!!! Trump and Hegseth should be court marshalled

Tapper: What is your husband saying about conditions on the ship? Wife of Service Member Aboard USS Lincoln: My husband is appalled at the conditions on this ship. This is not his first deployment. And he is saying that it is the worst deployment that he's ever been on. His shipmates say the same.

Dr. Vin Gupta: There is no proven link between the childhood vaccine schedule and the development of autism. There are other much more plausible and proven risks that we just don’t talk about because they are so focused on their hypothesis that’s been debunked.…

It’s like movies like Dazed and Confused, a lot of actors with their first movie get noticed and the rest is history.

The VA electronic health records system is down. That’s comforting. Trump sucks. (This never happened in the 11 years I worked there)

This was a big decision in the tech industry in the 1990s. Basically “quacks like a duck, looks like a duck, it’s a duck” but use the word employee. If you’re indistinguishable from an employee, you are one. Microsoft had a huge lawsuits they lost in 1990 and 1997z law.justia.com/cases/federa...

That's the fun thing about trailblazing - it makes it easier for others to follow, and I hope they do.

It leaves our workers unprotected and our streets less safe. It's time for a change. I'm proud to support the Delivery Protection Act to crack down on exploitative subcontracting and build an economy that works for everyone.

If it looks like an Amazon delivery and drives like an Amazon delivery, then it's an Amazon delivery, right? Not according to Amazon. Big companies like Amazon have built a vast network of subcontractors who deliver their packages while shielding them from accountability.

I like to think we can be reborn as a better version of ourselves if we have the courage. I won’t give up on that dream.

“The fake news New York Slime is reporting that your favorite president (ME!) hid in a “food truck” due to threat of from the scumbags in Iran. FAKE NEWS! There was no hiding! I very powerfully “borrowed” a food truck and sent the new “Air Force One” to be toured by the troops.”

So, I completely understand secreting POTUS away from a credible assassination attempt. But leaving the entire Air Force One crew, press pool, etc. to play decoy is some sick shit.

If only there had been a treaty in place to avert war with Iran. Oh yeah, Obama’s Iran treaty signed in 2015. But Trump’s pathological obsession with trying to match or surpass Obama has left the U.S. in shambles.

Iran is now publicly talking about what I’ve been saying since this war started: They’re trying to Jimmy Carter him, and he’s letting it happen while telling everyone he’s winning.

We've dropped over 13,000 missiles on Iran. Many worth $40,000,000.00 each. Just this action alone tells me that this is a WAR. Nothing else but an unsanctioned illegal war. Where's the uprising? This is sickening. All that death for no reason. All the expenses for no reason. Our taxes waisted.

Boycott Taylor farms not just for making Americans sick and bribing to skirt the issue, but for what they do to their workers, regardless of their country of origin. And for helping to turn the incarcerated to slaves. This must stop.

Let’s clear a few things up: Senate GOP don’t want the SAVE Act. They want to campaign on wanting the SAVE Act. If Cassidy was a no, Murkowski or Collins would have been a yes. It’s theater. If they thought they could cancel recess, not a single Republican would vote for it.

Ever notice GOP passes unpopular items in the middle of the night, like Trump's cheerleader lawyer Blanche? Keep your eyes open is the moral of this comment

I don’t care what side of the aisle you’re on - if your position is that the president of the United States and his family should be immune from IRS scrutiny, you’re unqualified to be the Attorney General. It’s an indictment on our entire system that 50 GOP Senators don’t agree.
