Democrats ask Bondi for Epstein files after Musk’s Trump allegation

Two senior House Democrats are asking Attorney General Pam Bondi for the timeline of the Department of Justice’s (DOJ) declassification and release of the convicted sex offender and financier Jeffrey Epstein’s files after tech billionaire Elon Musk accused President Trump of being named in the documents. 

Now, Democratic Reps. Stephen Lynch (Mass.), the acting ranking member of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, and Robert Garcia (Calif.), the top Democrat on the Task Force on the Declassification of Federal Secrets, asked Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel in a Thursday night letter to “immediately clarify whether this allegation is true and respond to this letter with the requested information and documentation.”

Alex Samuels at Daily Kos:

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York is weighing a second run for the top Democratic seat on the powerful House Oversight Committee after Rep. Gerry Connolly of Virginia announced that he’s stepping down due to a recurrence of esophageal cancer. The 75-year-old said Monday that this will be his final term in Congress. He currently serves as the committee’s ranking Democrat, and his departure opens up one of the most influential roles in the House, especially with President Donald Trump in the White House. Ocasio-Cortez challenged Connolly for the post back in December but lost in a closed-door caucus vote. Now, with the seat soon to be vacated, she’s making it clear she’s back in the mix.  “It’s something that I’m weighing. The seat is not yet vacated, and I think that’s a bridge we can cross when we get to it,” she told reporters Wednesday. If she jumps in, Ocasio-Cortez would enter as a clear frontrunner. According to Axios, other Democrats are watching her next move closely, with some progressive members holding back their own bids until she decides. The House Oversight Committee is no small gig, considering it’s behind House investigations and the Democratic Party’s main line of attack against Trump. With MAGA loyalists running interference across the House, Democrats will need someone who’s sharp, visible, and unafraid of a fight. Ocasio-Cortez checks all of those boxes. She’s already become one of the most recognizable faces in Congress, especially after co-leading the “Fighting Oligarchy” tour with Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont, packing venues even in blood-red states like Idaho. She’s also polling strongly, with one April survey showing her leading Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer in a hypothetical 2028 Senate primary. [...]

Rep. Stephen Lynch of Massachusetts, 70, will serve as interim ranking member and has already announced that he wants the job permanently. But he’s no firebrand. Lynch sparked backlash after he berated a constituent who asked him to “commit to not voting for any Republican legislation.”  “I get to decide that. “I’m elected. You wanna decide that? You need to run for Congress, okay?” he snapped back. Other young leaders, including Reps. Jasmine Crockett of Texas and Maxwell Frost of Florida, are also reportedly eyeing the top Oversight spot, though they’re still waiting to see what Ocasio-Cortez decides first.

Jaune: (Raises his hand like holding a glass) Hey, here's to life, so full of paaaiiiintednails, My name is Salem~!

To carry on my evil ways, I had myself a son. Last thing I heard him say was "I'm attending at Beacooooooooon~!"

I'm in every Achieve Men album, I'm in all the White Fang's rants, I'm the reason Jacques Schnee could even have a fucking chance~!

Jaune: (Chuckles, Audience rolling around laughing)

And if I wanna steal your soul, just know that I'm gonna, Don't care if yoj fight or if you're a runna, and fuck Ruby Rose, I don't care about your silva, My name is Salem~!

Jaune: (Strums softly) Once upon a time, there was a girl named Salem... (Stops strumming) Which is fucking bullshit because name one girl with anything like these~? (Pulls up his hoodie, Shows off him wearing a black bra with two cantaloupes) It's like, Oh my god~! (Pulls down his hoodie, Strums last few notes) Feed! The! Grimm! (Crowd cheers, He stands up and leaves)

Ruby/Yang: (Laughing)

Weiss: (Covering her mouth) That buffoon!

Blake: (Smiling) At least it wasn't about you, right?

Jaune: How was that?

Jaune: That's where it is.

Nora: Oh, okay... I still want it back, though.

Jaune: Okay, Nora.

Oobleck: Odd that he would choose a forgotten princess turned monster story to turn into a singing comedy act.

@hells-mansion this you MY DUDE

@jinglebellrockstars​

Konosuba rule book for table top

this is a v good and also v complicated question bc i have a really weird and eclectic music taste  

i assume when you say fav mood you mean just when I’m in a good mood, in which case I’d probably say my comedy playlist (which is almost entirely composed of bo burnham, stephen lynch, and john mulaney). I also listen to a lot of musical soundtracks when I’m in a good mood, like lately I’ve just been listening to The Drowsy Chaperone and Jesus Christ Superstar on a loop. 

however, if we’re talking my Fav fav mood, it’s probably when I’m feeling somewhat at peace. i’m a v tense person and i very rarely feel relaxed at all so i have a playlist that really chills me out, which i usually listen to when i’m sleepy or reading or writing or just general stuff like that. it’s called “You Know This Vibe” and it’s all songs in languages i don’t speak, usually with titles i can’t read. it’s a lot of gregorian chanting, hebrew love songs, russian lullabies, stuff like that. so if we’re talking fav mood, which is feeling peaceful, that’s def my fav playlist.
