Scientists: Don't do that; it will raise the temperature of the water, promoting the growth of algae

Trump: Fuck you, I know what I'm doing, just watch

Everybody: Holy shit, look at all the algae in the Reflecting Pool!

The Epstein files have been out for months. Over three million pages. Flight logs. Contact lists. Financial records. Grand jury testimony. Depositions. Witness statements.

And the federal government is still protecting the powerful.

Twenty years. Twenty years of the FBI sitting on a 53-page indictment and doing nothing. Twenty years of prosecutors cutting sweetheart deals and getting promoted. Twenty years of victims coming forward while their abusers remained untouchable.

That ends when we make it end.

Here's what actually can be done right now:

State attorneys general don't need permission from D.C.

New York. Florida. New Mexico. The Virgin Islands. Any state where Epstein operated can open its own investigation, impanel its own grand jury, bring its own charges — and a federal pardon cannot touch a state conviction.

Congress has tools it isn't using — subpoena power, contempt power, the ability to create a truly independent special counsel with real teeth. The problem is most members don't want to use them because the targets are their friends, their donors, their colleagues.

That's why we need unbought people in Congress.

And that's why you matter. Call your state AG. Call your members of Congress. Support the independent journalists keeping this story alive. Refuse to look away.

Justice is not delivered from on high. It is demanded by a public that refuses to accept that power protects power.

Arrest. Prosecute. Jail. Not theater — justice.

I'm Melissa Chaudhry. I'm a mother. And I'm running for Congress in WA-09 because the people deserve a representative who will not stop until justice is done

Lawrence: Trump chose to play Obama's game and lost badly.

MS NOW’s Lawrence O’Donnell explains how Donald Trump “spent years lying about the Obama deal with Iran” only to now prove “just how strong the Obama deal was and what complete and utter incompetent losers Marco Rubio and Donald Trump are.”
