Yet another January 6th terrorist has been sentenced for possessing child pornography after he was pardoned by Donald Trump. Predators protecting predators. This time in my own district. I’m glad he’s facing justice after Trump let him back into our community where he was a danger to our children. wwlp.com/news/crime/amh…

This is absolutely infuriating and completely idiotic. An estimated 95,000 scientists and researchers have left federal agencies since Trump returned to the White House. These are the people tracking hurricanes, studying pediatric cancer, and modeling the climate tipping points that determine whether we can still prevent catastrophe. We lost them because this administration defunded their work, shuttered their offices, and made clear that finding out the truth is no longer a government priority. NASA’s own administrator just said studying climate change isn’t part of NASA’s mission. The agency that first warned Congress about global warming in 1988 now treats that work as a distraction. Meanwhile, China and Europe are recruiting our scientists, funding their labs, and making long-term bets on the industries of the future while we gut the research infrastructure that took generations to build. We are surrendering global scientific leadership voluntarily, deliberately, and one resignation letter at a time. nytimes.com/2026/03/25/cli…

Bank of America just agreed to pay $72.5 million for helping Jeffrey Epstein traffic underage girls. The settlement dropped late Friday night. Buried under war headlines and protest coverage. Almost like they planned it that way. And this is literally the FOURTH major bank settlement tied to Epstein's sex trafficking operation. JPMorgan paid $290 million to victims. Then another $75 million to the US Virgin Islands. Deutsche Bank paid $75 million to victims and got hit with a $150 million regulatory fine on top of that. Now Bank of America adds $72.5 million. Total exposed so far: Over $660 million. Number of bankers criminally charged: ZERO. Number of bankers who went to prison: ZERO. Every single settlement came with "no admission of wrongdoing." Every bank said some version of "we regret the association" and moved on. But the court filings tell a very different story: JPMorgan filed suspicious activity reports on Epstein's accounts as early as 2002. Their own compliance team flagged him. They KNEW something was wrong but they kept banking him for 11 more years anyway. When Epstein was alive and actively trafficking girls, JPMorgan flagged $4.3 million in suspicious transactions. After he died in his cell? They retroactively reported $1.3 BILLION in suspicious activity going back to 2003. That's 300 times more than what they reported while he was alive. A Senate investigation found that JPMorgan executives overruled their own compliance officers to keep Epstein as a client. Internal emails show top executives approved continued business with Epstein even AFTER his 2008 conviction because he was bringing in ultra-wealthy referrals. Deutsche Bank picked Epstein up as a client in 2013, the same year JPMorgan finally dropped him. Their own CEO later admitted onboarding him was "a critical mistake that should never have happened." They literally kept him for five more years. Bank of America allegedly didn't file suspicious activity reports on Epstein-linked accounts until AFTER he was dead. The pattern is identical every time: See the red flags. Ignore them. Profit from the relationship. Wait until the client dies or gets arrested. Then file a report. Then write a settlement check. Then say you did nothing wrong. Now think about this... These are the same banks that freeze your business account over a $5,000 wire transfer. The same compliance departments that require endless forms of ID to open a checking account. The same institutions that flag small business owners for "suspicious activity" if they deposit cash from their own customers two weeks in a row. But a convicted sex offender runs hundreds of millions through their systems for DECADES and nobody notices. Nobody reports it. Nobody escalates it. Nobody calls law enforcement. Until he's dead. Then suddenly everyone remembers everything. Senator Wyden called for a criminal investigation. The Treasury Department has thousands of pages of Epstein bank records they still won't release. Congressional investigators say the full picture of what these banks knew hasn't come close to being revealed. $660 million in settlements and fines. But not a single criminal charge against any banker at any institution. That's the system working exactly as designed. I wonder why no one's talking about the files anymore?

8 million+ per my teammate @AaronParnas

The Villages retirement community in Florida have turned out in huge numbers for No Kings. William Steiner, our Villages correspondent, says that the turnout is twice as big as last year's.

Look how aggressively we are sanitizing Kushner's conflicts. The NYT described Kushner as "having business interests" in the Middle East. KUSHNER IS BEING DIRECTLY PAID TENS OF MILLIONS ANNUALLY BY MIDDLE EASTERN GOVERNMENTS

McGovern: Stop the BS that somehow ICE is being defunded. $85 billion. That's what they have. Their normal budget is $10 billion a year. Only Republicans would say that somehow that's not enough

Denying promotions of individual officers based on their race or gender would betray every principle of merit-based service that military officers uphold. It would also violate federal law. I am demanding answers from SecDef Hegseth & the Pentagon. nytimes.com/2026/03/27/us/…

@Mpolymer @RubenGallego Who are the Israeli settlers? Are they the hard-core right wing orthodox?

Disastrous for Israel. Will also cause more hemorrhaging of US public support.

A bill passed the Senate last night 100-0 to fund TSA, the Coast Guard and FEMA. If Speaker Johnson called it for a vote it would pass easily. But he won’t do that. Because Trump has ordered him to keep TSA shut down and keep the chaos. Pure incompetence.

Everyone sitting at Mar-a-Lago realizing he’s talking about them.

Trump: I hang out with losers because it makes be feel better. I hate guys that are very, very successful and you have to listen to their success stories. I like people that like to listen to my success.

Flynn pled guilty to lying to the FBI. Twice. Now, Trump cronies at DOJ pay him $1.25 million of your taxpayer money to reward him for his corrupt loyalty. The federal government … as racketeering organization.

The cost of your flight went up because you searched for it twice. Your rideshare costs more because your phone battery is dying. This is surveillance pricing – corporations using your own data and behaviors against you. In the US Senate, I’ve got a plan to ban it.

Update: As of Friday, 303 US troops have been wounded since the start of combat ops targeting Iran, per a defense official. More than 75% of those related to traumatic brain injury. Of the 303 injured, 273 have returned to duty, the official added. 10 US service members are still seriously wounded. 13 US troops have been killed in action.

Hegseth's chief of staff "told Mr. Driscoll that President Trump would not want to stand next to a Black female officer at military events, the officials said." nytimes.com/2026/03/27/us/…

The Attorney General of the United States should know it is a right for hundreds of millions of Americans. x.com/atrupar/status…

Trump is paying a foreign company nearly $1 BILLION of YOUR money to stop building wind farms in America that would have lowered your electricity bills. He lost in court FIVE times trying to kill these projects that would have powered over a million homes. So he decided to buy his way out of it instead. Yes, you heard that right. The President of the United States is literally spending your tax dollars to make your energy bills more expensive. nytimes.com/2026/03/23/cli…

NY Times reports Hegseth just struck 2 Black and 2 female officers from a promotion list — and says Hegseth’s Chief of Staff told the army secretary “Trump would not want to stand next to a Black female officer at military events” More: nytimes.com/2026/03/27/us/…

Trump's own lawyer confirms: the only goal of the Trump administration is evading accountability. They're not doing any of this for you. It's only to protect themslves.
