NEW: A BIG order in my lawsuit against Todd Blanche, ordering him to finally answer my complaint.

I explain how the judge rejected every one of Blanche’s excuses as to why he blew the deadline to respond & why this order moves my lawsuit even faster to the finish line:

A federal judge says Todd Blanche isn't sufficiently following the court's orders in a case concerning the Epstein files and gave Blanche a deadline to comply or face the possibility of contempt charges.

The order stems from the lawsuit brought by Katie Phang.

The Justice Department hasn’t sufficiently followed a court order to produce documents, the federal judge said.

He's not got any idea what he's even voting on. He has to be told how to vote. He's incapacitated. He's incapable of representing the people of Kentucky who are currently being taxed without representation.

The first three words of our Constitution say it all: We the People. That’s where the power lies in America. Our democracy isn’t something we watch from the sidelines. People who love this country can change it — by using our voices, exercising our rights, and showing up.

The Iran war, the mass deportation campaign, the trade war with Canada, the affordability crisis, the Kennedy Center, the Epstein mess, the measles, Jr.’s Russian wedding, the embrace of Putin—is there not one GOP leader who has the guts to say this ain’t working?

That’s a rhetorical question.

Lots of folks are comparing McConnell’s vote today to Feinstein’s finals days in the senate. The main difference is that Feinstein was co-sponsoring legislation to expand voting rights, while McConnell voted to cut SNAP and end environmental protections.

"This strategy works best if Trump himself is not impeached. That way Democrats can claim that they’re merely going after government corruption by underlings, not fighting the will of the great and good American people. I don’t see a downside."

The House has "worked" for 71 days this year, after MAGA Mike Johnson sent everybody home early to avoid a vote on impeaching Pete Hegseth.

71 DAYS... that WE paid for.
Should be a crime.

Not only did I meet Robert Kraft, I worked for him.

His kid Jonathan asked me to “remove the black music” from my gameday playlist in ‘94 & I refused so they fired me. I was the cheerleader director at the time. 

I sued them for wrongful termination and won.

So yes, I know that motherfucker. 
Did you ever meet Bob Kraft?

With Trump unleashing insane tirades against regulating AI, Obama just urged Dems to adopt a comprehensive position on it, warning that failure to act now will be "dangerous."

Trump's malevolence has given Dems a big opening. They should seize on it. 1/

The Real Reason Obama’s Harsh Warning to Dems About AI Is So Unnerving
Most Democrats have more or less the right position on AI. But their arguments are way too narrow to dramatize the real stakes. They should aim higher.

Congress has just gone out of session to avoid impeaching Pete Hegseth. The Republican Party has caved. The lower courts continue to be the bulwark. Ultimately, SCOTUS, responsible for creating this monster, will have to tell him no & make it stick.
