NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen.

Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

John Cleary, Wounded in Kent State Shooting, Dies at 74 A photo of him lying on the ground and bleeding made the cover of Life magazine after the 1970 shooting.

John Cleary, who was shot in the chest by Ohio National Guard troops during an antiwar protest at Kent State University in 1970, a moment captured in a Life magazine cover photo, died last month. He was 74.

It’s so wild the “live free or die” President is rationing air travel because his cohorts don’t want the people who vote for them to have less expensive insurance. Like that’s where we are as a country. And you really just have to laugh, ya know? What a time to be alive.

Hi, I’m God.

Jesus and I agree that starving the poor so you can build yourself golden bathrooms and golden ballrooms is evil. Anyone who does that shall burn for eternity. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Thanks,

God

Trump Is Very Confused About Nuclear Weapons The president says he wants to resume nuclear testing but doesn’t seem to know why.

The president wants to resume nuclear testing. This is a really bad idea - and he can't even get his facts right about why he wants to do it:

DOJ Scrubs Jan. 6 Attack From Court Record After Suspending Career Prosecutors Read more here.

This is next level authoritarianism.👇

"Following the suspension of two career prosecutors, the U.S. Department of Justice quietly revised a sentencing memo in a high-profile case — removing all references to the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol, and President Donald Trump’s social media post."

Thou shalt not support a man who bulldozes the White House to build himself a golden ballroom whilst the government is shut down because he doesn’t want the financial records tying him to Jeffrey Epstein to come out.

Rep-Elect Adelita Grijalva was elected to represent Arizona. Speaker Johnson could swear her in at any time, including today’s Pro Forma session — but he won't.

No Kings.

Millions of citizens.

I am sounding the alarm that the GOP is engaged in an all out attack voting rights and free and fair elections. Voter suppression, gerrymandering, and troops in blue cities are just some of the ways they are using to try to rig the rules to keep power in 2026 and beyond.

Pay attention and act!

Spot on.

Federal Judge Blocks Trump’s Seizure of Oregon National Guard for Portland Deployment Read more here.

🚨BREAKING: A federal judge Saturday blocked President Donald Trump’s call-up of the National Guard for a deployment in Portland, saying Trump’s actions were based on false claims and undermined Oregon’s sovereignty. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

This is what unity looks like.

Things feel uncertain right now, Illinois.

I want you all to know we’re doing everything we can to protect your rights.

Pritzker: "When did we become a country where it's ok for the US president to insist on national television that a state should call him to beg for anything? Especially something we don't want. Have we truly lost all sense of sanity in this nation that we treat this as normal?"

DO NOT PUT CHILDREN ON TV TALKING ABOUT A SHOOTING THEY JUST LIVED THROUGH

The media who do this are heartless bastards

Family of Virginia Giuffre re: Ghislaine Maxwell prison transfer

"It's w/ horror & outrage that we object to the preferential treatment convicted sex trafficker G. Maxwell has received.. Maxwell is a sexual predator who physically assaulted minor children.. she should never be shown any leniency"

Ex-CIA Whistleblower: "The NSA Audited The 2024 Election, Kamala Harris Won" Math doesn’t lie—people do. A buried NSA‑authorized audit paved the way for this unelected illegitimate regime.

This should be a Five Alarm Fire on every G'ddamned media outlet in the world.

I very rarely post a link to someone else's newsletter...as I have my own. This, however...is a MUST see.

Dems. Wanna get your polling out of the gutter? Stop talking about redrawing house maps in blue states and do it. Go big. Don't match them seat for seat. Blow them out of the water. Then endorse Mamdani. You're welcome.

Love, Allison

Why the Epstein Coverup Matters In free societies, government coverups are difficult. In authoritarian ones, they’re routine.

"Coverups are difficult in free societies. They are routine for authoritarian governments. The Epstein coverup will be an indicator of how far we are down the road to authoritarianism. The success of such a coverup would take us much further down that road."

“Trump is now crossways with his base—on the Epstein question. Only once, so far as I can remember, has Trump been crossways with his base. That was on the subject of vaccination. A headline from Aug. 2021: ‘Trump booed after telling supporters to get vaccinated.’”

Boycott Etsy
Etsy Allowing
Alligator Alcatraz merchandise on their site
Shameful and Infuriating

I just closed my Etsy shop.
“I find it disgusting and reprehensible that even after considerable reporting by Etsy users, you continue in the sales and marketing of merchandise supporting a concentration camp here in the United States of America. This is an overt endorsement of fascism. Goodbye.”

Brilliant. 10/10. No notes.

Just to be crystal clear: bombing Iran is completely illegal.

Donald Trump is not a king and not above the law.

Tonight, the court rightly rejected Trump’s claim that he can do whatever he wants with the National Guard and not have to explain himself to a court.

YouTube video by Brad Lander for NYC Brad Lander: "I'll keep coming back to court, week after week"

Tonight, I'll go home and sleep in my bed. I have a lawyer, I'll get due process.

But Edgardo, whose arm was ripped from mine by ICE agents, has none of those things.

That's why I'll keep coming back to court, week after week, to make sure that people's rights are protected.

Good morning.

If the the Senate passes the Republican budget bill, 40% of American families - those with lower and middle incomes - will LOSE money. They will become poorer.

But the richest families will get an average $270,000 tax cut.

Because they only care about the rich.
