Refreshing to see criminal and journalistic investigations go forward in Norway. The scandal is meaningful and there is a meaningful response. All of us should do so well.

Friends from Minneapolis reporting to me that things are at the point where folks are being hidden in other people's houses and we are in the "again" part of "never again" which the "never" was supposed to preclude
Front page screen cap from Politico. Stories include: House Dem identifies wealthy powerful men DOJ redacted in Epstein files (with a picture of Ro Khanna) Filibuster fight comes full circle as GOP faces internal pressure on elections bill GOP revolt sinks effort to block vote on Trump's tariffs
Among the 5 ways to fight fascism is to peel off enough Members of Congress to hold up Trump's agenda.
3 signs on the front page of the Politico that's beginning to happen consistently.
The tariff one will mean that Dems can force a vote on the Canada tariffs tomorrow.
Khanna: There were two rounds of redactions. There was the original FBI redactions… and they did a second round of redactions at the DOJ. What they’re showing members now is the unredacted version of the DOJ’s redactions—not the original FBI redactions. They’re in blatant violation of the law.
Breaking MS NOW:
In a major defeat for Mike Johnson, 3 House Republicans bucked their leaders to block legislation that would have restricted Congress' ability to strike down Trump’s tariffs.
The final tally was 214-217, with 3 Republicans joining Democrats in opposition.
happening this morning in Minneapolis -- ICE agents drawing guns on observers. I reiterate again that it is only a matter of time before DHS kills more innocent people in Minnesota. Congress needs to shut this shit down right now.

Trump is demanding $10 billion because a contractor (not an IRS employee) leaked some of his data.
OK, then. It seems only fair that each of the 300,000,000+ Americans whose personal tax and Social Security data was leaked by DOGE receive the same renumeration.
That's $300,000,000,000,000+.
well then it hasn’t been a very successful one
BREAKING: Trump team to start “daily” meetings to focus on prosecuting his political adversaries, according to CNN
Looks like Susie Wiles’ efforts to “limit” Trump’s focus on retribution has failed spectacularly.

This week, Temporary Protected Status for 350K Haitians in the U.S. was set to expire, with no White House plan to renew it.
Many warned this would lead to mass roundups of people unable to safely return to Haiti.
Today, Judge Reyes blocked it from happening.
Her ruling was scathing. 👇
The President of the United States is compromised. It is time for Congress to act. Now!

The Whitehouse subsequently posted on Twitter an altered photo of Ms. Levy-Armstrong being arrested to make it falsely appear that she was crying and making her face darker. … The government's fourteen page Indictment makes clear that the government is persecuting Ms. Levy-Armstrong and her co-defendants by attempting to turn a non-violent political protest directed at a federal government official into a federal felony case Ms. Levy-Armstrong respectfully requests that the Court fully consider the release conditions of her co-defendants, her own irreproachable background and status in the community, the lack of any violence associated with the incident underlying the Indictment, and the government's nakedly obvious bad faith.
Counsel for civil rights lawyer Nekima Levy Armstrong, lead defendant in the St. Paul church protest case, notified the court of the White House’s deepfake image of his client.
It’s evidence the government’s “nakedly obvious bad faith.” storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
Rather than "shoot first, ask questions later," Trump's DHS follows instructions to "shoot first, deny what happened."
It should come as no surprise to anyone who has some sense of the reality of America under Trump that the DHS claims about shooting two dangerous criminals in Portland are false.
The government of EAU invested $500 Million in Trump’s meme coin and nobody on the news is even talking about it.
The WSJ, who broke the story, must be like… HELLO, does anyone care that Trump is taking half a billion dollars from a foreign nation?

making tulsi gabbard DNI is itself a watergate level scandal
It's good to be the President.
You can sell out America's national security to enrich your family.
The White House under Trump is an ATM and America is for sale to the highest bidder.

Post-conviction.
After the plea deal.
Everyone knew who Epstein was by then.
At some point, “I didn’t know” stops being believable.
Seems like a bad sign when all the best people don't want to work with you anymore, in part because they don't want to risk their own careers by doing illegal or unethical things.
Horrifying. ICE confirms measles outbreak at Dilley family detention center. www.cbsnews.com/news/ice-dil...
Paul Weiss was one of the first major law firms to bend the knee to Trump.
And, yup, connected to Epstein.
