She’s making it happen, y’all.

@jasmineforus.bsky.social is activating non-voters just like she said she would.

“55% of the people that showed up on day one don’t normally vote in a primary. In fact, 20% of those voters were first-time voters.” 💥

The FBI obtained credible evidence that Donald Trump sexually abused a 13-15 year old girl

It is stunning to write a sentence like that about a US president

What’s worse, there are still interviews-not to mention millions of documents-in the Epstein files which haven’t yet been made public

Judge scolds Mark Zuckerberg's team for wearing Meta glasses to social media trial A Los Angeles judge ordered Meta officials to remove their AI glasses at a trial over the impact of social media on users.

"The judge upbraided the Meta team and said if you guys have recorded anything, you have to dispose of it or I will hold you in contempt," Jacob Ward, a technology journalist and the host of the Rip Current Podcast, told CBS News, calling the incident "an extraordinary misstep" by Meta.

Labor Secretary’s Husband Barred From the Department After Sexual Assault Reports

If you are somehow finding the occasion to get barred from the premises of your wife’s work on the other side of the country for sexual misconduct, what must be going on in your own anesthesiology offices?

Prince Andrew's Arrest Across the pond in Britain, justice and accountability is a serious matter

Never in a million years did I ever fathom when I resurrected the Epstein story in 2018 that it would lead to first arrest of a British Royal in four centuries. Not since King Charles I was arrested in 1647.

Last night at the #DataCenters meeting in Claremore, Darren Blanchard, who has attended most of these meetings around NE Oklahoma & has some pretty impressive FOIA/ORA skills, was arrested after going over his 3 min. allotted speaking time. First arrest I've seen at one of these.

This, by the way, is one of the reasons that Congress is supposed to be involved in making war — the executive branch is supposed to make a public case why war is necessary and useful. Here we have Trump flailing — and no one is moving to stop it.

Virginia Giuffre, the brave woman who first publicly told the world about Prince Andrew and Epstein, should be alive to see this news today.

Another victim of a powerful cabal of pedophiles who are finally being held accountable.

For two month old Juan Nicolas was hungry and DHS let him become malnourished

He was healthy and they made him sick

He was free and ICE imprisoned him

He was a stranger and instead of inviting him in, they nearly killed him and then cruelly kicked out him and his entire family

“The Zorro ranch was a place where powerful men allegedly visited, including a former governor of the state. It was also the alleged setting for Epstein’s previously reported plans to spread his DNA across the human race by impregnating as many women as possible.”

A two month old-detained in the ICE concentration camp at Dilley-was rushed to the hospital this weekend

The boy’s extreme youth made him particularly vulnerable in a prison setting

Worse, they knew he was sick-and couldn’t care for him-because the facility didn’t even have a doctor

“ICE aren’t actually fearful of their safety. What they’re fearful of is not being invited to baseball games or not being invited to the pub with their friends. Community exclusion – that’s what they’re fearful of.”
