The Epstein cover-up continues. Let's keep up the pressure on Republicans until ALL the files are released. Trump, his GOP enablers, and the Pam Bondi-led DOJ still think that – if they stall long enough – voters will forget about Jeffrey Epstein's crimes and the role Donald Trump, and some Republican megad...

Donald Trump (winner of the FIFA Peace Prize) continues amassing warships in the Caribbean while bombing small vessels without any legal justification and threatening a full on invasion of Venezuela.

Congress has the power to block Trump’s march to war with Venezuela, but they need to hear from us.

Sometimes The Media Ignoring A Major Story Becomes The Story Listen to a reading of this article (reading by Tim Foley):

One of the craziest things happening right now is how there’s been report after report confirming that Jeffrey Epstein really was an Israeli intelligence operative, and yet it’s had no measurable impact on mainstream media or politics.

Donald Trump ‘spent hours’ at Jeffrey Epstein’s house with sex-trafficking victim, newly released email alleges – live In new batch of emails released by House Democrats, Jeffrey Epstein says ‘of course [Donald Trump] knew about the girls’

Smoking guns don’t get any hotter than this. What’s it going to take for the Pedo Protector Caucus to take action on this? #PedoProtectors #corruptGOP #AvengeEpsteinsVictims

Spotify is crashing HARD because of the boycott. Their stock dropped 11% in value over the last month. Let’s keep this going!

Tell everyone you know to boycott Spotify. There are plenty of alternatives that don’t run ICE advertisements and screw over artists.

We made it easy at boycottspotify.com.

When the president is destroying national landmarks, murdering fishermen, raising prices because he's angry over a Reagan video, and kidnapping parents in front of their crying children is probably not an ideal time to have a lazy, completely incompetent legislative branch perpetually on vacation.

Opinion: Yes, protest still matters in America, but what comes after ‘No Kings’ is crucial Good protests—like the "No Kings" demonstrations in North Carolina—can be silly, loud, rambunctious, and disorganized. They can be disruptive and even dumb. But they are never, ever pointless.

As expected, Charlie Kirk's killer, Tyler Robinson, was a black trans muslim Democrat... oh, hang on... sorry - he was the son of white Christian Republican parents in Utah and was taught to use guns from an early age. What a fucking surprise.

‘He Gave Me Confidence’: How Charlie Kirk Connected With Young Men
With his right-wing group Turning Point USA, Mr. Kirk engaged controversial topics. Some students were inspired. Others found his views appalling.

“It’s kind of scary to say what you believe in, especially in this cancel culture,” said Porter LaFeber, a 22-year-old studying sciences at Utah Valley University who was at an event on Wednesday where Mr. Kirk was killed. “Charlie Kirk seemed like he just went totally above that. He kind of gave a voice to the people that were maybe a little bit scared.”

“He gave me the confidence to be able to believe what I believe,” Mr. LaFeber added.

"Charlie Kirk gave me the courage to be more transphobic" is a wild thing to put in a both-sides hagiography

The US president trafficked & raped underage girls, the evidence is overwhelming, everyone knows it, and this country's elites & institutions are so broken, so insular, so decadent that we can't even bring ourselves to state it clearly, much less do anything about it.

Contemptible & pathetic.

Twitter is owned by a neo-Nazi, the LA Times, Washington Post, and Wall Street Journal are owned by pro-Trump billionaires, and CBS News will soon be run by a far-right Likud extremist. American media still has a liberal bias problem.

DOJ Deputy Chief Joseph Schnitt admitted that the government will "redact every republican" and "leave all the liberal, democratic people” on the Epstein client list.

He also said Ghislaine Maxwell was moved to a minimum securithy prison as "a benefit to keep her mouth shut."
