Unearthed audio reveals Mike Rogers opposed releasing the unredacted Epstein files because he wanted to "protect" people: "You have to protect somebody who got on an airplane and rode with him. The court of public opinion would ruin their life for no reason... You don't want to hurt that person's career or reputation or family"

Spare me the pearl-clutching — especially from Republican Members of Congress and online MAGA grifters who have cheered President Trump's weaponization of the government against those he doesn’t like, as recently as last week. This is a subject I know something about: Less than a year ago, Trump directed the DOJ and FBI to investigate me, and then tried to criminally indict me for a 90 second video, exercising basic free speech. The same free speech you’re exercising now, lying about what I said in this clip. If not for an anonymous group of grand jury members standing up for America's laws, I’d be criminally indicted for sedition. President Trump has turned the government against people, with raucous support from you and virtually all D.C. Republicans. So spare us the manufactured outrage. America must be a place where the rule of law still matters. Those laws should apply to everyone equally. If you have aided in the corrupt use of U.S. taxpayer dollars to benefit the President or his family, or you have violated the law in order to carry out guidance from the President, you should be held accountable. And given how rampant that corruption appears to the average American, people looking to work for his Administration should realize that while the Supreme Court has granted the President immunity, it has not done the same for those who do illegal things at his behest.
It is absolutely disgraceful to threaten young Americans for participating in politics and serving their country.

They can’t paint you as a woke socialist if you don’t sound remotely like a woke socialist. And in battleground states that’s very important.
.@nytimes polling shows center-left Dems are escaping the party’s far-left brand - the GOP effort has been an utter disaster Change in candidate being “too far left” between June & Sept 2026: Peltola 36%->36% (+0) Turek 25%->30% (+5) Brown 36%->37% (+1) Talarico 39%->40% (+1)

It’s been a while since states like Iowa and Kansas felt this competitive for Dems. I’m so glad we’ve found Democrats who connect with voters in red areas.
“There’s a candidate quality that Democrats have tapped into, especially in a lot of flippable areas.” Straight facts from @yemisi on @FoxNewsSunday
