Justice Department publishes documents with sexual assault allegations against Trump

BREAKING:

The Justice Department just posted online three FBI interviews that had been missing from the massive trove of Epstein files initially released.

They're related to unsubstantiated sexual assault allegations against Donald Trump.

DOC 1: www.justice.gov/epstein/file...

AOC: We already have multiple American service members who are dead for an illegal action that the president has pursued with no plan out. They don’t know why they got into this war. They’re talking about a hundred different reasons, and they don’t know how they’re getting out.

AOC: He impulsively went in on Venezuela. He impulsively went in on Iran. It led to increased global instability and every time he’s done that, it has been consistent with a spike in what is happening with the Epstein files. I think that he feels existentially tied to it.

AOC: This is about actual crimes happening in front of us. This is about shredding the Constitution and plunging us into war. This is about taking crypto money and money laundering… So if you’re asking me if I’d support impeachment, I do

"It is fraud" -- Neguse nails Kristi Noem for lying during her testimony yesterday when she told the Senate that DHS's $220m ad campaign starring her "went out to a competitive bid" (it did not), and tells her "I think there's gonna be accountability" (1/2)

WATCH — @senpeterwelch walks through a no-bid $143,000,000 contract that went to @KristiNoem’s spokeswoman Tricia McLaughlin’s husband’s company that had just been formed.

She should be impeached for this outrageous scandal alone.

Yet it’s barely a blip in this corrupt regime.

My understanding is that AI companies want universities to embrace this tech so that profs and students help “train” it. Seems reasonable to ask university leaders whether their embrace of AI will use education to simultaneously refine this tech for all kinds of horrific applications.

David Ellison Unveils Sweeping Vision for Warner Bros: “This Is About Reinventing the Business” HBO Max and Paramount+ will be merged when the deal closes, the mogul told Wall Street early Monday morning.

yes, nothing says "innovation reinvention" like a nepobaby trust fund brat with no meaningful experience being gifted a massive hollywood empire by his technofascist dad, who leveraged his corrupt influence over the country's pudding-headed autocrats to box out competitors (?)

Democratic Leaders Avoid Criticizing Trump’s Iran War. Now Voters Will Have a Say. Top Democrats close to AIPAC stick to criticizing Trump’s process failures — but primary candidates are calling for a referendum on the war itself.

The War on Terror Paved the Way for Trump's Rise--Now He's Making It His Own Only the total abolition of the DHS can restore freedom.

Calling people who seek to protect their neighbors “terrorists” provides a crucial clue to the lineage that has led to Minnesota, Venezuela, and now Iran.

"The War on Terror was always being waged simultaneously at home and overseas. ...What is happening now is that US citizens are getting a taste of the treatment previously reserved for noncitizens—and for marginalized communities who live the vulnerable reality of conditional citizenship."

The War on Terror Paved the Way for Trump's Rise—Now He's Making It His Own Only the total abolition of the DHS can restore freedom.

NEW @thenation.com: The tools of the War on Terror must be destroyed before Trump uses them to finish building his world order, at home and abroad. What we did at home yesterday is what we do in Iran today is what we will do at home tomorrow. The way we break the cycle is straightforward: abolition.

From the start of his political career, Donald Trump campaigned against the idea of regime change.

Yet, Trump has launched an illegal & baseless war on Iran – the exact type of Middle East conflict that the president & his top officials claimed he would never start.

Excerpt from The Guardian story, featuring midterm candidates looking to change the Democratic party. Copy on excerpt reads: THE GUARDIAN: US NEWS HEADLINE: "'Are you willing to fight back?: Democrats ready to take on party's old guard ahead of midterms" Photo of Kat showcased holding a stack of yard signs. Copy below reads: "Another test case is Illinois' deep blue 9th District, where Kat Abughazaleh, 26, a progressive Palestinian American, is taking on a Democratic establishment she accuses of complacency and cowardice."

Excerpt from The Guardian story, featuring midterm candidates looking to change the Democratic party. Copy on excerpt reads: "Abughazaleh believes that Democrats have long failed to meet the moment of taking on the far right. For her and many progressive challengers across the country, countering the Trump administration is inextricably linked to combating the influence of groups such as Aipac and challenging the corporate status quo. Abughazaleh said: "I even see it in my own campaign where there are local leaders and elected officials that call me before endorsing one of my opponents, apologetically saying, I love what you're doing but I'm feeling a lot of pressure to endorse this way or the other. They feel that pressure in the first place instead of being able to stick to their values and it's a shame that we have a party that makes people feel like that." "I don't know how many times we have to keep doing the same thing over and over and over again of insisting that we have to be more moderate, that we have to move to the right," Abughazaleh added, arguing that policies ensuring affordable housing, groceries and healthcare should represent the political centre."

You don’t beat the far right with moderation. You have to confront it.

Career politicians are unequipped to handle this moment. It’s time for them to step aside.

U.S. military spending is set to hit a record $1.5 trillion.

Roughly half of defense spending goes to private contractors that routinely price-gouge the government.

Been thinking this, didn’t have the courage/nuance to write it. Maybe I thought it was obvious & didn’t need me to say it. Now it’s said: “networks of friendship & favor-trading spanning decades..an ethnic community [whose] dizzying rise [was built] on relationships w/ ppl of similar background”
