AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.

Congress has opened an investigation into Bard College’s ties to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein after President Leon Botstein’s name appeared extensively in Epstein’s files; the House Judiciary Committee, led by ranking member Jamie Raskin, sent a letter to Bard’s board chair demanding all documents and an interview with Botstein, alleging a “financial and deeply personal” relationship in which Botstein courted Epstein aggressively and even helped traffic victims. Botstein, who announced his retirement in May following an outside law‑firm report on his connection to Epstein, has defended the relationship as limited to fundraising for the private college. The committee says the college’s internal probe was insufficient and is pressing the Board of Trustees for further information by July 1.

Sarcasm stings as Rep. Jared Moskowitz calls out GOP’s “Jeffrey Epstein-apologists” during House Judiciary session. Mocking Speaker Mike Johnson’s wild theory that Trump was an FBI informant, Moskowitz questions if the claim links to Epstein, highlighting political theatrics in oversight.

This should be the biggest new story in the country. The "Big Beautiful Bill" contains a provision effectively stripping courts of their ability to hold federal officials in Contempt of Court.

Retroactively. Page 116, Section 70303.

As of this moment, the state of play I describe here re: FISA is still valid. That may change after the 3pm HFC press conference today. I'll definitely have more to say on this either later today or tomorrow.

#Housejudiciary had another hearing today on the Weaponization of Government. This is the circus Jim Jordan has created. Ashli's mom is holding up propaganda and the other sign says Biden's laptop matters

Jim Jordan thinks he knows all the facts
But evidence he doesn't have such tracts
Without proof he will shout
As his words flow out
Declaring what "everyone" knows he lacks

#HouseJudiciary Chmn #JimJordan is launching a probe into Fulton County DA #FaniWillis's investigation into fmr Pres #DonaldTrump's #racketeering and #ElectionInterference #indictment

I wrote a #FactCheck on Rep Jordan's attempts to construct a FALSE NARRATIVE about the indictments, to obstruct justice, & how it is Congressional overreach (posted it on FB b/c 500char limit here).

“The same group of #MAGA #lawyers work in close coordination w/the same #HouseRepublicans to recruit & fund the same sorts of ‘whistleblowers,’ all as part of a campaign to protect Donald Trump,” said Rep. Jerry Nadler of NY, the ranking Dem on the #HouseJudiciary Cmte.

The House Judiciary Committee Hearing today on the FTC is a clear demonstration of the difference between the 2 parties.

Each Republican Representative personally attack the Chairman and weave MAGA based conspiracy theories. The Chairman makes outrageous statements and then bullies each witness by talking over them.

The DEMOCRATIC Representatives ask questions to improve middle class lives.

Same same..every hearing

Why Is Everyone So Upset About the Betsy Ross Flag?
There's a pretty long history of the flag being used by extremist right-wing movements — and a recent move by Nike has brought that into the spotlight https://www.rollingstone.com/culture/culture-features/betsy-ross-flag-nike-colin-kaepernick-patriot-movement-ku-klux-klan-854612/ @RollingStone #Jim_Jordan #RepChrisStewart #HouseJudiciary #StaceyPlaskett #extremism #weaponization

#RepChrisStewart #Utah The American People SEE Traitors. Americans are smart enough to know this IS about #jan6th and this IS about re-electing Donald Trump. And you, Chris Stewart, are making us all LESS SAFE by undermining the #FBI #HouseJudiciary #StaceyPlaskett #weaponization

Who is the Trump lawyer behind #jim_jordan#RepSylviaGarcia #HouseJudiciary #StaceyPlaskett

It is simply stunning that #RepDanBishop and House Republicans are advocating undermining our #FBI That #DanBishop want to hobble the #FBI that keeps us safe every single day. Its just shocking. Republicans are a national security risk. #HouseJudiciary @StaceyPlaskett

Who is #RepSylviaGarcia referring to.. standing.. or approaching the dais? Is it the trump lawyer? #HouseJudiciary #StaceyPlaskett

#RepMikeJohnson "patriotic Americans" do not go on sputnik and Russia Today to smear American law enforcement. Patriotic Americans are not Russian propaganda mouthpieces.. like yourself, Mike. #HouseJudiciary #weaponization #StaceyPlaskett
No patriots. Not patriotic.

Jim Jordan has brought on three 'bad cops' to testify against the 'good cops' of the FBI who protect us from domestic terrorists like those at january 6th #HouseJudiciary #jimjordan #weaponization

#Kat_Cammack
is advocating #defundthepolice -- Rep Kat Cammack is pro-domestic-terrorism. It's just shocking
#HouseJudiciary
#extremism
#StaceyPlaskett
Kat Cammack is a security risk and should not sit on this committee.

Stephen Friend got suspended after he simply refused to work on any cases related to the Capitol riot. #Jim_Jordan #StaceyPlaskett #HouseJudiciary #jordancommittee #weaponization

#RepMattGaetz is up there asking questions. the guy who faced investigation over sex sith an underage girl. Matt Gaetz shouldn't be in congress #HouseJudiciary #StaceyPlaskett

What a obscene travesty this
#Jim_Jordan
folly is .. #HouseJudiciary #StaceyPlaskett
brings up that Jordan has testimony from Mr. Allen but will not share his testimony with the minority.. and that shill Trump lawyer behind him, keeps popping up into Jordan's ear.again. The Republicans are not sharing evidence on the Jordan Committee.. How is that acceptable at all?

#HagemanforWY is pro-terrorist here in this hearing. #HarrietHageman #WY is pro #defundthepolice .. Harriet is carrying water for Donald Trump and doesn't give a lick for the people of #Wyoming. #HouseDemocrats #HouseJudiciary
#Extremist Harriet, if the label fits..well, then..

How fucking stupid is Gym Jordan's House Judiciary Committee and its Bragg Investigation?!

Mark Pomerantz can't and should not compromise ongoing investigations. If he spoke freely, how could they possibly think that anything he'd say would be exculpatory for Trump.

What total fucking morons.
