So let me get this straight. In two days we went from β€œthe Epstein list doesn’t exist” to β€œthe Epstein list that certainly exists was created by Obama n such”

Ya ok

February 21: The Epstein client list is on Pam Bondi's desk ready to be reviewed
July 7: The Epstein client list does not exist and the case is closed
July 12: There is an Epstein file but it's a fake written by Obama, Crooked Hillary, Comey, and Brennan

What we’ve learned in this cruel and shameful period is the presidency needs to be less powerful not more powerful.

Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz after touring "Alligator Alcatraz": "These detainees are living in cages. The pictures you've seen don't do it just. They are essentially packed into cages. 34 detainees per cage...they get their drinking water & they brush their teeth where they poop, in the same unit"

It will never be comprehensible or forgivable that the man who incited a deadly insurrection and attack on our Capitol was able to run again and retake the levers of power.

I rarely post personal things. But I need to talk about my 4-year-old niece, Hope.

She has a rare disease. A drug called elamipretide has helped her survive.

But the FDA recently denied its approval.

Now, her health hangs in the balance.

Please share her story & urge the FDA to reconsider. 🧡

Fired FEMA chief threatened to quit weeks ago Cameron Hamilton, the acting disaster chief, appeared to contradict Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem by defending the agency on Wednesday.

Well, well, well. The Acting FEMA Administrator said eliminating FEMA wasn’t in the best interest of the American people β€” and guess what?!?! They FIRED him. I guess that’s what happens when you stand up to your power-hungry β€œboss”.

This part just sends me:
β€œSomeone just drew a line…..I’m a very artistic person.” Just the insult of talking about another country’s borders and physical integrity this way with the PM sitting right there trying not to leap out of his chair. It’s just indecent.

NY-17 Rep. Mike Lawler had a local social worker physically dragged out of his town hall Sunday night.

Emily Feiner was singled out by private security, lifted out of her seat, as the crowd chanted β€œlet her stay” and β€œshame, shame.”
She’s a constituent.
Not a threat.
Fascism again.

When you force people to foreign incarceration for the rest of their life without due process... that's not deportation. That's human trafficking.

And it's not a prison. It's a concentration camp.

A whistleblower's disclosure details how DOGE may have taken sensitive labor data A whistleblower tells Congress and NPR that DOGE may have taken sensitive labor data and hid its tracks. "None of that ... information should ever leave the agency," said a former NLRB official.

"Within minutes after DOGE accessed the NLRB's systems, someone with an IP address in Russia started trying to log in. The attempts were 'near real-time'...

"Whoever was attempting to log in was using one of the newly created DOGE accounts..."

BREAKING: 36k people showed up in LA for Bernie and AOC’s rally. In the off year.

Americans are pissed β€” and anyone ignoring that is making a big mistake.

Just in case those of us fighting for democracy in court didn't need another challenge, Big Law turning collaborators is here and growing. My firm and others continue to fight.

We will never back down. We will never bend a knee. We will never obey.

Not one reporter asked about the Executive Orders targeting Chris Krebs & Miles Taylor during today’s Cabinet press conference. Not one. A president using DOJ to punish those who spoke out? That’s banana republic territory. I waited. The question never came.
Why? Has the fear already taken hold?
