They paused Oversight Committee hearings the minute we started getting answers about the Epstein files.
Now it’s “roundtables”: no rules, no oaths, no subpoenas.
You do the math. Because the moment accountability shows up, they shut it down. The survivors deserve better.
Senator Raphael Warnock tells RFK, Jr. he needs to be fired or have the decency to resign.

Looking forward to stopping by @colbertlateshow.bsky.social one last time. Tune in tonight!
Trump's pick for Fed chair should be asked about his relationship with anti-democracy billionaire Peter Thiel before we let him anywhere near our Federal Reserve. Watch LP Senior Advisor Stuart Stevens on MSNOW.
The majority of Americans agree with this, imo. The problem is Congress! 😡
GOP - *gerrymanders*
DEMS - hey stop that no fair
GOP - *gerrymanders even more*
DEMS - we mean it we’re gonna sue
SCOTUS - *legalizes gerrymandering completely*
DEMS - *start gerrymandering*
GOP - HEY STOP THAT NO FAIR!!!! 😭
Congratulations, Virginia! Republicans are trying to tilt the midterm elections in their favor, but they haven’t done it yet. Thanks for showing us what it looks like to stand up for our democracy and fight back.
🚨🚨BREAKING: In a huge victory for Democrats that will greatly increase their odds of winning back the House in November, Virginia voters have APPROVED the redistricting referendum.
The Onion wants to make us submissive slaves to the New world order.
Correct.
If you're in line STAY IN LINE! #VoteYesVirginiaToday
Incredible shots of the exchange between Rep. AOC and RFK, Jr. at today’s congressional hearing.

GALLEGO: Earlier today, you told Sec. Kennedy that Trump never demanded you to cut interest rates. Is that your sworn testimony?
WARSH: That is, senator.
GALLEGO: Okay. Well someone here is lying then. Because Trump confirmed he pressed you on interest rate cuts.
Kevin Warsh just lost me. He argues he's going to be an independent Fed Chair, but refuses to acknowledge that Trump lost the 2020 election. If you can't state simple facts when you're in the political spotlight, you aren't independent. You're a coward.
Sen. Jack Reed to Warsh as he dodges questions about divesting his assets: "Excuse me. I must commend you on the way you can circularly go around questions and not answer them. It's a skill. Unfortunately it's not a good skill for the chairman of the Fed."
I hope the takeover of InfoWars by @theonion.com and @timheidecker.bsky.social that resulted from the bankruptcy brought on by Alex Jones’ evil attacks on the victims of Sandy Hook brings you as much joy as it does me.
How does American politics really work?
Seems to me like Trump is desperately begging Iran to sign a replica of the Obama JCPOA he tore up. All for the low low price of thousands dead, global instability, high energy prices, and a toll on ships through the once-free strait of Hormuz.
So the companies we paid tariffs to are getting refunds. Isn’t that double dipping?”
Anyone know whether today is a ‘ceasefire’ day or a ‘destroy your civilisation’ day yet?
This war is so damn confusing. It’s why we shouldn’t let drunks and dementia patients run it.
Ossoff: "How does American politics really work? It's coin operated. Money goes in, favors come out. It's been running on secret money, corporate money, billionaire money ... all of this gave rise to a depraved president who exploits this rot to empower and enrich himself"
We owe each other a country where at least the things that two-thirds of Americans can agree on actually get done. When something is broken in this country, we have to do what it takes to fix it.
Thank you, Tulsa, for the warm welcome back - and for showing us what a better future looks like.
So Trump is back to threatening war crimes by destroying Iran’s civilian infrastructure? This reckless moron needs to be removed from office. #25th
Rep. Jared Huffman: “If we’re honest about what’s going on, we have a madman in the White House who is running roughshod, who is running the most corrupt criminal grift in American history out of the White House.”

Mamdani: "What are we fighting for?. When you look back at the history books of our party, 100 years ago we had a very clear vision of what we were fighting for. It's sad that for too many Americans, when they want to look for ambition in the Democratic Party, then have to turn to a history book."
This is a batshit crazy post.
We’ve also gone from:
- Vance is going
- no he’s not
- yes he is
In a period of 3 hours. Incoherent psychobabble.
“The United States is being murdered, and it’s an inside job. Every department, every branch, every bureau and function of the federal government is being fatally corrupted or altogether dismantled or disabled.”
Buttigieg: I’ll give the Turning Point folks a lot of strategic credit for going to a lot of different places. Going to these college campuses is kind of the equivalent, in their minds, of the way I feel when I go on Fox News.
The difference is, when I go on Fox News, I’m telling the truth
