The DOJ's refusal to investigate the Epstein class has forced the responsibility on Congress. But this is the job of the Executive Branch, not members of Congress. @briefingwithpsaki.bsky.social

@lawrenceodonnell.bsky.social and I discuss the Epstein class who flout the law and write rules to benefit themselves.
"Khanna couldn't ask for a more perfect opportunity to burnish his credentials than a fight with billionaires."

Lindsey Graham's claim that opposing funding for Iran is abandoning our troops is the same tired and wrong argument the foreign policy establishment made during Vietnam, Iraq, and Afghanistan. Not again. @weeknightmsnow.bsky.social
Trump needs to put aside his arrogance and hubris and end this war. The energy shock is worse than '73 & '79 combined, and the war is violating human rights law.
It is time for the President to put his ego and hubris aside and stop the escalation. Threatening war crimes is a violation of everything our nation stands for. End this dumb war that is costing Americans lives, draining our treasury, and making the world less safe.
This approach does not weaken hardliners. It inflicts catastrophe on ordinary Iranians, rallies support around the regime and strengthens their narrative of external aggression. The regime’s brutality is real and must be addressed but not by punishing civilians en masse.
Proportionality forbids attacks where expected incidental civilian harm including effects like loss of hospital power, water pumps failing, food spoilage or extreme heat or cold exposure. This is excessive compared to the concrete military gain per Article 51(5)(b).
Modern electrical grids are deeply interconnected. Strikes on power lines or plants rarely stay limited & they cause blackouts affecting entire cities or regions.
Power infrastructure is often dual use serving both civilian life & some military functions. Under IHL Article 52 such objects can only be targeted if they make an effective contribution to military action and do not cause mass civilian harm.
(Thread) Indiscriminate bombing of Iran’s power plants would violate core principles of the laws of war rooted in the Geneva Conventions and Additional Protocol I which bind the U.S. as customary international law.
JD Vance you used to be against Middle East wars of choice. You served with a generation that saw the damage. Our nation needs you & other Republicans to step up & stop this madness. This may be the biggest foreign policy blunder of the 21st century. That is saying something.
This level of wealth inequality is ripping us apart as citizens who share common experiences and are equals in contributing to the democratic life of our nation.
We need a FDR moment for the New Gilded Age.
Why is Congress the only branch doing the investigation of Indyke and the Epstein class? This is the job of the DOJ and they are failing. @lawrenceodonnell.bsky.social
Anti-war, anti-Epstein class, pro working class. A new coalition for a new era.

$200 billion would pay for free college for every American, $10 day childcare, 1000 new trade schools, the 40% federal share of special needs education and a lot more.
What are we even doing here?
MAGA is now Iran first?
1776 at Fords Theatre is a must watch for all of my colleagues in Congress. Absolutely brilliant! An inspiring reminder that our founders were deeply divided on the question of independence itself & how they worked to overcome divisions to give birth to our nation!
Pam Bondi and Blanche are coming to talk to Oversight about Epstein today. As I told @lawrenceodonnell.bsky.social, I have many questions that survivors have been asking me.
I was proud to stand with @sanders.senate.gov & endorse candidates who stood against war, against big money, and for justice. I lost twice before I won, including an anti-Iraq war campaign, and Bernie lost 4 times before he won. In the long run, principles matter.
Trump is taking us back to the days of our shameful invasions of Nicaragua, Haiti, Honduras, and Guatemala. He is clinging to an ugly past when a new generation wants a just future for our nation & world.
