People are focusing on Bill Clinton's ties to #Epstein
But about Epstein's ties to Secretary of the Navy Phelan? or DoD Deputy Secretary Feinberg?
During the #Bondi hearing Vermont Rep #BeccaBalint asked her about them."Has the Deputy Secretary Feinberg talked to Department of Justice about his ties to Jeffrey Epstein? Yes or no? Has the Department of Justice talked to Secretary Deputy Secretary Feinberg about his ties to Jeffrey Epstein, which are clearly spelled out in the files?"

@PattyHanson I hear ya, but a lot of them aren't, and that's a good start.

Lawmakers Call on #Meta to Stop Running ICE Ad Featuring #NeoNazi Anthem
Asked about an #ICE ad featuring the song “We’ll Have Our Home Again,” #DHS said: “Not everything you dislike is ‘Nazi propaganda.’”
Austin Campbell, February 5 2026
"Members of Congress are demanding answers from Meta after it ran advertisements by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement that they say included imagery and music intended to appeal to #WhiteNationalists and #NeoNazis.
"In a letter sent to Meta CEO #MarkZuckerberg, Reps. #BeccaBalint, D-Vt., and #PramilaJayapal, D-Wash., questioned how the social media company approved an ad campaign from the Department of Homeland Security featuring the song 'We’ll Have Our Home Again,' which is popular in neo-Nazi spaces. The lawmakers urged Meta to cease running the ad campaign on its social media platforms and asked whether the company would commit to ending its digital advertising partnership with #DHS.
The Intercept was first to report ICE’s use of the song in a paid post recruiting for the agency, which published shortly after an ICE agent fatally shot #ReneeGood in Minneapolis."Read more:

Just got off the phone with my congresscritters. Both #BeccaBalint and #BernieSanders are hard no's on funding ICE. #PeterWelch "has to see the legislation" first. Yes, his aide got an earful. #FuckICE

#BernieSanders becomes first #US senator to say Israel committing genocide in #Gaza
Vermont senator had taken flak for avoiding term as #UN panel says #Israel’s conduct meets criteria for genocide
[about f---ing time!]
from #TheGuardian #Guardian
Wed 17 Sep 2025 18.18 EDTHe now joins a small but growing list of House members including Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, #RashidaTlaib and Republican Marjorie Taylor Greene, as well as Vermont representative #BeccaBalint, who also called it a genocide earlier in the day.
“Today, I believe the Israeli government is committing a genocide against the #Palestinian people,” Balint wrote in an op-ed in the Courier. “As the granddaughter of a man murdered in the Holocaust, it is not easy for me to say that.”

Here's a #DemocracyNow segment from 5 days ago, about #MohsenMahdawi's abduction. Amy speaks with Congressmember #BeccaBalint (D-VT) ✡️ :pride: (She is calling for the release of Mahdawi. She's also the first Jewish Congressmember to call for a #Ceasefire 🇵🇸 )

Masked hooded men in plain clothes with an unmarked van kidnapped him. That's NOT #Democracy

Congresscritter calls just made, asking #Bernie and #Welch to work and vote against the #SAVEAct when it reaches the #Senate. I also called #BeccaBalint, thanking her for voting against it, and also for everything's she's done since this nightmare began. Almost cried at the end of that one. #Vermont

Our #CongressCritter #BeccaBalint was in our part of #Vermont last week. It sucks that Republicans in #Congress are afraid to say anything because of death threats to them and their families. But I have no sympathy. They did this to themselves. https://www.benningtonbanner.com/local-news/rep-balint-cites-concerns-during-pownal-visit/article_08edb2c0-f0a0-11ef-bdda-fb16a6216f9d.html

Left messages with both #Vermont senators, just now,
1) thanking #Bernie for fighting the good fight and encouraging him to keep doing so and
2) asking #Welch in stronger terms to not negotiate with Republicans on anything, including the "bipartisan" bill he just posted about this week.I also called #BeccaBalint's office and thanked and encouraged her like I did with Bernie.
It's easy. It took two minutes for all three phonecalls. You can do it, too!

is it unfair to call #conservatives #GOP #MAGA #republicans vacuous a**holes?

Rep #BeccaBalint (VT) will introduce companion #legislation in the House, &…she said she believed #House Democratic leaders support the effort.
“I’m not going to take a watch-&-see, laissez-faire attitude,” Balint said. “We can & we have to take #Republicans at their word that they want a #FederalBan.”
The campaign has support from… #PlannedParenthood, the #ACLU & #ReproductiveFreedomForAll. The legislation…would preserve aspects of the #law that allow ofcls to crack down on child pornography. -

Just sent an email to my #Vermont congresscritter #BeccaBalint, thanking her for her op-ed in the #VTDigger calling for a ceasefire. I hope more folks will get onboard. This has to stop. https://vtdigger.org/2023/11/16/becca-balint-cease-fire-needed-to-stop-bloodshed-in-israel-hamas-conflict/
