Look folks, this is nothing more than an empty gesture. Don’t fall for it. Means nothing. There is nothing under the exceptions under Rule 6e that applies here. Moreover, GJ “transcripts’ will only reveal stuff about Epstein, not too much about others. Transcripts are not…
President Trump has directed Attorney General Pam Bondi to unseal grand jury transcripts related to the Jeffrey Epstein case. ABC News' Mary Bruce reports from the White House. abcnews.link/3WK0r0Y

Happy Independence Day folks! Between the parades and fireworks take some time to just reflect. Reflect on the world changing moment 249 years ago today. Reflect on our trials and tribulations and what it means to be a real American. The American Identity Project seeks to…

A profound statement on what it means to be American this 4th of July
I am telling you folks, @chefjoseandres is spot on here. The idea of bringing these stories to life through COMICS by my friend @andrewaydin is absolutely brilliant. Please go to the kickstarter link and contribute in any way you are comfortable. These folks still need our help
Amazing project! Lifting up the voices of the people of western North Carolina…hurricane survivors telling their own stories…through COMICS. I love it! Please consider supporting their kickstarter…I did! kck.st/3HHimV5
As usual @traecroder nails it! Watch this through and you’ll see what I mean. Republicans from red states are no longer conservative, no longer a party with a political ideology. Loyalty to Donald Trump is their only guide, all at the expense of so many of their constituents
On the Senate passing Trump’s (very stupidly named) Big Beautiful Bill
Hey folks, tune in tomorrow-or better yet, come if you can if you’re in the DC area-for the 2nd installment of @amprog’s “Democracy on the Line” with a great line up of panelists w/me: Jim Acosta, Abbe Lowell and Dean William Treanor. Check it out below americanprogress.org/events/democra…
What happened today to a United States Senator is outrageous and the so-called justifications by the Adminstration are total BS! Here’s why
With his pardons, which are more self serving for himself than the criminals he has pardoned, and his decison to ignore white collar crime, Trump has essential “de-funded the federal police.” nytimes.com/2025/05/29/us/… nytimes.com/2025/05/29/us/… via @NYTimes
At a time when people are understandably focused on the daily chaos in Washington, these articles describe the rapidly accelerating impact that AI is going to have on jobs, the economy, and how we live. axios.com/2025/05/28/ai-…
On this Memorial Day please take a break from your beer and BBQ and read the piece below. And then refelct. The title is as provocative as the content: Are we worthy of their sacrifice? Did they die so that a President could so brazenly, and many would argue corruptly, sell…
If there is one thing that I know about @JoeBiden from our many years of friendship, it that he is a fighter. Louise and I will continue to lift up Joe and Jill in our prayers as they face the challenges ahead as we wish him the speediest of recoveries.
Great crowd for Baldwin County Democrats! Let’s talk about what’s happening! x.com/i/broadcasts/1…
Great night in Daphne, Al to talk about what all is going on in this cointry x.com/i/broadcasts/1…
Hey folks At the beach with Louise and as always we will be visiting with Baldwin Co Dems later tonight. But this year we also want to do a “Community Dialogue” to discuss the issues of the day. That starts at 6 ET & the Dems at 8. Hope to go live with both but we’ll see if…
Ed Martin has honored a Nazi sympathizer and then lied about it. Trump says he wants to fight anti-semitism but yet nominates this guy to be US Atty in DC? Those dots don’t connect folks. Call your Senators and tell them to actually fight anti-semitism and reject Ed Martin
Normally there are no hearings for US Atty nominees because normally the President, regardless of political party, nominates lawyers that receive bipartisan support for their views upholding the rule of law. But these are not normal times. Call or write @ChuckGrassley and demand…
In Tuscaloosa with my buddy @BetoORourke! Great crowd! Fired up! Ready for the Tide to turn om Trump!
