Democratic senators: It's time to draw a line in the sand.
A nominee for Attorney General will soon come before you. Make the confirmation process about releasing ALL of the Epstein files (without redactions) and prosecuting the Epstein class. Trump’s nominee should be pressed hard to commit to those two specific actions. While the administration continues its cover up, Democrats must be relentless in our commitment to pursue truth and accountability.
Credit to @RoKhanna for again leading the charge on this. Fight, don't fold.

Nope, here are some figures:
Private credit 3.5trn ball park. This is everything (real estate finance, infra finance, specialty fin etc)
Direct lending: 1.6trn ballpark
Direct lending packaged in liquid vehicles (nt bdc, interval funds, evergreen): 15%ish. This is where we an issue right now. The vast majority of private credit is in drawdown vehicles.

While the world is distracted by the Iran war, private credit is blowing up - BlackRock limits withdrawals - Blue Owl has restricted withdrawals - Morgan Stanley limits withdrawals This is a ~$2T market... With an expected surge in inflation due to supply disruption, expect this situation to worsen.

The big question is will investors learn not to invest in opaque deals Wall Street says will provide an incrementally higher return than transparent securities.

WHY EPSTEIN MATTERS
How many billions did Jeffrey Epstein's child gRape influence operation generate? Hundreds of billions. Maybe trillions.
And the banks all helped him do it.
All that "wealth" is ill gotten.
It was extracted from the lifeblood of working Americans -- sucked out of their veins by white collar, corporate leeches.
All those untold billions?
It's not wealth. It's stolen property.
They gave us a shopping mall hologram of American Dream, while they, like locusts, emptied the core of our American economy and left us a service economy, strip mall labor colony.
All that stolen wealth belongs to working Americans.
These leeches have been sucking the wealth out of the middle and working class for decades.
It's time for that to stop.
No more racketeering.
No more price fixing.
No more collusion.
It ends here.
The racket ends here, when we remove Lindsey Graham on June 9th.

This new Trump DOL rule seeks to bail out private equity and private credit with 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 401(k) savings.
More Perfect Union@MorePerfectUS
Trump's Labor Department has proposed allowing people to use their 401(k)s to invest in crypto and private equity. This would open up $8.8 trillion from over 700,000 retirement plans for investment in these "alternative assets," the Washington Post reports.

Absolute bombshell on CNN. A former federal prosecutor confirms AG Pam Bondi pulled agents off counter-terrorism to scour the Epstein files and redact Donald Trump's name. She orchestrated a massive cover-up to protect the President and obstruct justice.

I'd say @RoKhanna's Epstein crusade directly forcing Trump to fire his own Attorney General immediately makes Ro a top-tier 2028 contender for the Democratic presidential nomination, at least for now.

Trump has told Pam Bondi that her tenure as attorney general is coming to an end due to her handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files.
