Khanna: Itās going to be a bombshell press conference tomorrow at 10:30 a.m. The American people will hear directly from survivors of the Epstein abuse. And theyāre not just going to talk about Epsteinās and Maxwellās abuse ā theyāre going to talk about rich and powerful menā¦
Republican men standing with Trump against the Epstein victims to maintain the cover up.
The U.S. Supreme Court is being asked to decide if citizens can still enforce the Voting Rights Act, after a federal appeals court ruled that only the government ā not private citizens ā can sue to enforce protections against racial discrimination in voting. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
Epstein survivors are going to have their day tomorrow to tell their story. It'll likely be the first time many Americans hear from them firsthand. It's important they get this moment, and we need to have their backs. What they're doing is very brave.
āI refuse to accept this is normal.ā Gov. JB Pritzker
Every year, the Supreme Courtās nine justices fill out a form that discloses their financial connections to companies and people. Using our database, you can search for organizations and people that have paid the justices, reimbursed them for travel, given them gifts and more.
Democrats just MASSIVELY overperformed in 2 Florida special elections. House 40: Harris +35 ā RaShon Young +50 (75ā25). Senate 15: Harris +23 ā Lavon Bracy Davis +45 (73ā27). Thatās 15- and 22-point swings toward Democrats.
Dems "need to just go at this stuff and they need to *very* personalize it. I would be putting billboards in front of Mike Johnson's church, saying, does Mike Johnson support a pedophile? Child sex trafficker in a Club Fed?" Stuart Stevens joins Tim Miller:
Only 222 away from 13,500! Help us get there here: actionnetwork.org/letters/tell...
Wow, this doesn't alleviate the trump is guilty as hell crowd now does it? If he is so innocent why is he fighting so hard to keep those docs hidden? MSM needs to start asking the WH this question.
Looks like Kristi Noemās de facto Chief of Staff thinks heās lined up the kind of ājudgesā that they want.
As many as 100 survivors of Jeffrey Epstein and other victims of sexual abuse are expected to attend a rally Wednesday in Washington, D.C. as a bipartisan Congressional effort gains steam to force the U.S. Department of Justice to make public its controversial files on the disgraced sex trafficker.
As we were listening to Gov. Pritzker of Illinois rebuke Trump's threat to Chicago, we switched to Faux News to see if it was covering it. Nope. I've searched to see if Faux News covered it all - prove me wrong, but I could find no evidence. SHARE WIDELY, EVERYWHERE. www.youtube.com/watch?v=8L2B...
Thomas Massie said Mike Johnson is actively blocking the release of the Trump Epstein files and trying to block his discharge petition for their release Of course Johnson is blocking the release. Protecting Trump is Johnsons full time job. Mike Johnson works for Trump not the U.S. #ProudBlue
Background from @lawfaremedia.org on the limits of Title 32, Section 502(f): "If a ... president were to ... ask governors to send unfederalized Guard personnel into a nonconsenting stateāas opposed to a non-state jurisdiction like D.C.āthat deployment would violate the Constitution."
Like a 1980s televangelist, Trump is now asking his supporters to send him $15 to help him get to Heaven. meidasnews.com/news/trump-a...

Don't let the door hit you where the good lord split your a**! Good Riddance!
It's time for the National Guard leadership to stand up for their troops! How dare he not only humiliate them with a fake emergency mission making them deploy to D.C. to pick up trash but also do everything he can to ensure they don't get fully compensated for their deployment?

Itās still early, but pretty good turnout so far for Bernie Sanders and Graham Platnerās (running against Susan Collins) rally here in Maine today.
Clearly they have not. They think we the people are stupid and won't notice.
This post does not fit the narrative that Trump actually wrote it. The last sentence is a dead giveaway that this was written by someone else.
Just so you know, everything that is being pushed out from the Whitehouse is just a ploy to distract us from the Epstein victims testifying on Capitol Hill on Wednesday. Thank you Rep Ro Khanna (D-CA) and Rep Thomas Massie (R-KY) for making this happen. The victims deserve justice! š„š„š„

Trump's dictator moves like calling in the national guard or ballooning the ice budget are designed to enrage you, but also to desensitize you to his authoritarian behavior. As Rick Wilson says, we can't let that happen:
FEDERAL AGENTS TAKE NOTEā¦ Itās not just Chicago standing strong. Other blue cities and governors are ready to unite against Trumpās federal invasion. Iām not an attorney, but this point seems huge: if federal agents break state or city laws, they can prosecuted. And Trump cannot pardon them.
@govpritzker.illinois.gov for President. He is elevating his image perfectly to run and win in a landslide. He needs @petebuttigieg.bsky.social as his running mate!
Pritzker on Trump's authoritarian takeover: "The playbook is the same. It's thwart the media. It's create mayhem that requires military interdiction. These are things that happen throughout history and Donald Trump is just following that playbook."
Heās providing them with valuable mulching experience though.
J.B. Pritzker is 100% right. Please listen to him, pay attention, and join us in speaking out against authoritarianism and to protect free and fair elections.
Donald Trump is once again threatening to issue an executive order targeting voting. This is an effort to subvert the Constitution and the 2026 election, which grants states and Congress but not the president power to regulate federal elections. If he does this, we will sue and we will win (again).
The perspective on that golf club is very off. Look at the head and how massive it looks. It looks bigger than his head. Now I know there are large clubs but this photo is way off IMHO.

This is why Trumpās Big Ugly Bill increased ICEās budget by $170.7 billion More than the military spending of most countries, and more than the US appropriated for the FBI, DEA, ATF and Marshals-combined Trump is amassing an army to employ against Americans in blue states And Illinois is up first

You may already be aware of this. If so...it's good reinforcement: The President of Portugal branded Trump a RUSSIAN ASSET. Whether itās true or not doesnāt even matter; what matters is this: world leaders see Trump as weak...compromised...and beneath respect.
"RFK Jr: We need to stop trusting the experts... Trusting the experts is not a feature of science or democracy...it's a feature of religion and totalitarianism." Were he not a Kennedy...and wealthy...he'd likely be living his life out in a mental institution. Diagnosis: Dumb-Fuckery.

As we resist Trumpās tyranny, America gains solidarity. As we gain solidarity, we feel more courageous. As we feel courageous and stand up to Trump, we weaken him and his regime. As we weaken Trump and his regime, we have less to fear.
Trump did this
The problem: Mortgages signed by the Paxtons contained inaccurate statements declaring that each of those three houses was their primary residence, enabling the now-estranged couple to improperly lock in low interest rates, according to an Associated Press review of public records.
*Court rules that Trump's policies are illegal but allows them to stand anyway* is the best summary of America in 2025 I know.
