  1. Leon Black is the first witness in this rape trafficking ring #Epstein investigation to walk out of a #Congressional inquiry. Black is in the #Epstein files thousands of times, paid #Epstein hundreds of millions and is accused of rape and sexual assault.

    What is Leon Black hiding? Because, if he isn’t hiding anything, why did he walk out of his Transcribed Interview in the Epstein investigation today?

    We will get answers. Nobody is above the law.

    From the U.S. #Congress Representative Stansbury reports.

  3. "Three #progressive leaders in #Colorado are criticizing #democraticsocialist #MelatKiros, who is running to represent the 1st #Congressional District in #Denver, for refusing days before the #primary #election to call the deadly #firebombing attack last year on a #Jewish community rally in #Boulder #antisemitic.

    One of the leaders is a state representative who has endorsed #Kiros.

    Kiros’ comments and the criticism come as the 29-year-old first-time political #candidate appears to be on the cusp of unseating #Democratic #US Rep. #DianaDeGette amid a wave of discontent with Democratic incumbents.

    “I don’t know what was in the heart of the perpetrator,” Kiros said in a recent interview with 9News." :fozzie_wocka_wocka:

  7. I'm endorsing and voting for #Bernadette Greene-Placentia for #Congress. She's a former Truck Driver and #Congressional Aide. She fights for middle class working families like herself. Show support and #vote for her in the primary in July and in the November 3rd #election.

  9. @GhostOnTheHalfShell Most state legislatures will *never* pass #RankedChoiceVoting. But do you know what *else* would castrate #USpol ‘party machines’ that virtually *guarantee* re-election of incumbents in #gerrymandered (by the party machines) #Congressional districts?

    #PrimaryFromTheCenter #StrategicVoting has a similar impact as RCV but you can do it now in all 50 states!

  11. "#Representative #JaredMoskowitz, a #Jewish #Democrat from #Florida, has received a surge of #antisemitic #deaththreats and hateful voicemails at his #congressional office, including calls to “kill all the #Jews,” according to recordings shared with media outlets.

    #Moskowitz, who represents Florida’s 23rd Congressional District, publicized several of the messages this week amid what he and Jewish advocacy groups describe as a persistent rise in antisemitism. The voicemails, reviewed by outlets including CNN, TMZ and JNS, feature repeated #slurs, #Holocaust references, #conspiracy theories about Jews and #Israel, and personal #threats against the 'congressman.

    A spokesman for Moskowitz told JNS that the recordings represent a small sample from the past six months. “These voicemails were from the last six months and represent a small sample size of the hateful voicemails the office receives,” the spokesman said."

  18. To a world at a loss as to how to handle Trump, I say this: the only answer may be to wait him out

    As for the supposed constraints of #Congress & #SupremeCourt, they have been all but inert & the world can only watch and wait. Both have been cowed by #Trump

    This year’s #midterm #elections must alter this

    They will almost surely deliver #Democrat majority, leading to #congressional #vetoes on “emergency powers” & possible #impeachment ...

  19. If
    for the #American #Constitution
    a #President
    MAY NOT start a Military conflict
    without a #Congressional authorization
    WHY the #US #Army
    went to bomb a country
    without the consent of Congress ?
    None of the US #Military Authorities were concerned about the lack of congressional authorization ?

  20. theguardian.com/commentisfree/. "The #Trump administration didn’t even offer a public sales pitch, & polls show the #Iran attack is one of the most initially unpopular #military operations in modern #American #history. So it is far less politically risky for #Democrats to oppose this war - & to use their #congressional power to legislatively obstruct its #funding."

  21. “A purpose of the #war on #Iran might well be to provoke a #terrorist attack inside the #UnitedStates. This would provide Donald #Trump with a pretext to try to cancel or “ #federalize” the coming #Congressional #elections.” open.substack.com/pub/snyder/p...

  22. Democrats say Trump Iran strikes require Congressional authorization

    NEWYou can now listen to US News Hub articles! Debate on Capitol Hill continues to rage over whether President Donald Trump started a "war" with the strikes he carried out against Iran last weekend, a key consideration for whether...

  23. theconversation.com/us-israeli. "Donald #Trump neither tried to obtain #Congressional approval, nor did he pursue a [UNSC] #resolution ahead of these actions. And the attack has come in the middle of talks between #Tehran & #Washington. The facts are clear. This is an #illegal #war, both in terms of US #law & #international #statutes."

  24. After Pam #Bondi's appalling performance in #Congressional hearings, I have seen a number of people wishing her various kinds of harm. Some I understand, others I don't.

    Most obviously, #prison #rape. This is something a lot of people who should know better seem to think is an appropriate punishment for sex crimes. There are about a million reasons why this is wrong, and I'll go into them if anyone wants.

    TL;DR: if you wish rape on anyone, for any reason, you are bad person. You may be a good person in other ways, but in this particular way you are scum. Either do better, or own it—just don't pretend righteousness. I'm genuinely baffled by how people I call friends don't understand this.

    Nor do I want her, or any of #Trump's coterie of crooks, #assassinated or #lynched. I'm more sympathetic to those wishes, but just no. Every revolution in history has been, in every sense, a bloody mess.

    What I want is for We The People, in accordance with the #Constitution and the United Staes Code, to #impeach, arrest, try, and convict every one of them for the numerous crimes of which everyone knows they're guilty, and then sentence them to prison for life without possibility of parole.

    I want us to show the world that we can, legally and correctly, clean up our own mess.

    And all that said ... I do hope when Bondi is led, stunned and baffled, down the concrete corridor to her final home, that just before the cell door slams shut, a guard whispers to her, "It's okay, Pam. The Dow is doing *great*!"
