@maddow Is it time to overcome our "scary gun" phobias & do some evidence-based gun control? See ProPublica goo.gl/GfPZZT

Trump’s DOJ has charged James Comey AGAIN, this time under the Espionage Act over a 2016 New York Times story. In DOJ’s own words, Comey had staff talk to a reporter to “correct misinformation” in a Reuters article.
They filed the charges on the last day of the 10-year deadline and skipped the grand jury. Comey is already moving to dismiss, arguing the extended deadline only applies to indictments
Comey: "Well, they're back again.
It would almost be funny if it weren't such an appalling abuse of the Department of Justice. One that we cannot become numb to.
Nothing's changed with me. I'm still innocent. I'm still not afraid of these people. And I still believe in the independent federal judiciary.
And I'm still lucky to have an amazing family and an incredible group of lawyers and will stand up in court and fight the latest. And whatever comes after this, the next couple of years are going to be hard for all of us.
It's really important that we stand straight and keep the faith in America."

🚨 Retired Navy captain and Florida congressional candidate Bale Dalton on the Iran war:
“We have such a clown show in the Pentagon right now.”
“We're in a war with no strategic end state... that's sinking our economy and putting our servicemen and women in harm's way with no stated goal.”
WATCH.

Judge to DOJ on ex-FBI agents charged:
“If you want a superseding complaint, like every other case that’s happened in this district, we will have a judge make a probable cause finding.
Not send me something in the middle of the night and expect that it gets done.”

"American aviation is extraordinarily safe. I’ve flown all over the world, and I have enormous confidence in our aviation system. But that safety doesn’t happen by accident. It requires constant vigilance, a willingness to confront uncomfortable truths, and leaders who take responsibility for fixing problems before people die.
That’s what makes these investigations so important."

Last month, I sought assurances from our nation's top military and civilian leaders at the Pentagon that troops will not be used to interfere in our midterm elections—and that any order to do so would be illegal. The law is clear: our military has no business interfering in our elections, policing polling places, or handling ballots or voting machines.
Now, @SenMarkKelly and I are seeking answers about the Pentagon's vaguely defined National Guard "reaction forces," created to respond to "civil disturbances." We want to make absolutely sure these forces will not be used to interfere with our elections in any way.

Nothing beats fall in the Hudson Valley, and the Nanuet Fall Festival did not disappoint! Thank you to the @NanuetChamber and all the organizations involved for making this event possible. Great to see so many members of the community out there enjoying the beautiful weather.

Republicans are now being totally transparent about why they are running.
To protect billionaires. To allow the very wealthy to keep the system rigged.

Democratic Governors are the first line of defense against the disastrous policies of President Trump and his Republican allies in Congress.
Skyrocketing costs. Healthcare cuts. Reckless war. Chaotic tariffs. Rampant corruption.
We need more @DemGovs. We need to VOTE.

From conservative legal scholar @jacklgoldsmith, who ran the DOJ's Office of Legal Counsel in the George W. Bush Administration:
"I feel a bit silly making technical legal points when this matter..is so obviously a sham. It’s hard to fathom what the Attorney General tells himself as he grossly abuses the power of the Department of Justice at the behest of his Article II master."

A former Miss Switzerland alleges that President Donald Trump raped her while she was in the U.S. for a pageant in 1993.
Beatrice Keul told Democratic staffers on the committee that the alleged assault happened in a hotel suite in New York in November 1993 after she interacted with Trump and his then-associate Jeffrey Epstein.

Ken Paxton got $158M from ONE man. Talarico got 97% of his money from donations under $100.
This isn't an election—it's an auction. Elon Musk isn't buying a senator; he's buying the referee who regulates his rockets.

I grew up in a home here in the Hudson Valley where every dollar counted. I’m running because politicians in Washington have left families like mine behind.
Hardworking people should not be struggling this much to get by. In Congress, I’ll fight to lower taxes and bring down the cost of living — so no one has to choose between filling up the gas tank or putting food on the table.
