“Officials in the admin no longer appear to care what the American people want… The refusal of DOJ to obey the clear direction of the Epstein Files Transparency Act seems to have been a test of Congress’s resolve, and so far, it is a gamble the admin appears to be winning.” @hcrichardson.bsky.social

“In choosing to withhold three of the four interviews from the Epstein files, the DOJ has granted Maxwell potential blackmail on the sitting president* of the US… Maxwell has held this leverage over Trump since…2021… Trump’s DOJ… let her keep it.”

“Is [Trump] working for you? We all know the answer is no. Who benefits from his rhetoric, his policies, his actions? … He’s enriching himself, his family, his friends … The scale of the corruption is unprecedented. There’s the cover up of the Epstein files, the crypto scams…”

“[ICE is] lying to Congress and the American people [about training]… Without reform, ICE will graduate thousands of new officers who do not know their constitutional duty, do not know the limits of their authority, and do not have the training to recognize an unlawful order.”

“The point of modern propaganda isn’t only to misinform or push an agenda. It is to exhaust your critical thinking, to annihilate truth…
And once truth is gone, they can build an empire of lies…
Just keep repeating the facts.

“This constant lying is not aimed at making the people believe a lie, but at ensuring that no one believes anything anymore.
A people that can no longer distinguish between truth and lies cannot distinguish between right and wrong…

To top it off, he may be protecting the largest child sex trafficking ring in modern history?” @malcolmnance.bsky.social

“Epstein suggested…that Russian officials contact him for ‘insight’…
He had already talked to Russia’s ambassador to United Nations Vitaly Churkin. ‘Churkin was great. He understood trump after our conversations,’ Epstein wrote. ‘it is not complex. he must be seen to get something it’s that simple.”

“In October, President Zelensky flew to DC, hoping to secure long-range, US-made Tomahawk cruise missiles. His military wanted to cripple Russian refineries, pushing Moscow to negotiate on better terms. By the time Zelensky arrived, Trump had spoken to Putin and decided not to offer the Tomahawks.”
