The Trump Admin is still stonewalling on the Epstein Files.

They have shared survivors' identities while actively shielding the Epstein Class.

The survivors and the public deserve the WHOLE truth โ€” not just what the DOJ wants to reveal.

Accountability demands it.

Good morning. The President of the United States was in the middle of the most serious child sex trafficking ring of the last quarter century.

He is referenced not a dozen times in the case files. Not 100 times. Not 1,000 times. Heโ€™s referenced 38,000 times.

Gov. Wes Moore (D-MD) says he was uninvited from a bipartisan White House dinner for governors

"As the nationโ€™s only Black governor, I canโ€™t ignore that being singled out for exclusion from this bipartisan tradition carries an added weight โ€” whether that was the intent or not"

Yet another reminder that territory isn't the main thing Putin wants, but control over Ukrainian sovereignty, including the ouster of Zelensky and his team.

This is the ad that Fox News does NOT want you to see.

Fox News rejected our newest ad, which demonstrates that Trump has โ€œgone too farโ€ with ICE.

Vermont Legislator Resigns Over Racist Texts in Republican Group Chat

A few months ago a GOP state legislator resigned over racist texts, and the staffer of a NY GOP assemblyman was fired for comparing Black people to monkeys and other racist remarks. Let's see how GOP leaders respond now when it's the leader of their party (who has a long history here).

ICE is still doing checkpoints in Minneapolis like we are an occupied territory. Life remains really hard here thanks to Trump's thugs.

I am not going to repost the vile and racist image that Trump posted last night of President & First Lady Obama because it is beyond disgusting. Trump is a vile racist as is every Republican that continues to support him. I donโ€™t want to hear mumbling from Mike Johnson or stoic silence from Thune.

Q: Bannon recently said 'we're gonna have ICE surround the polls come November.' Is that something the president is considering?

Virginiaโ€™s New Governor Ends ICE Program. Local Contracts Remain, For Now. - Bolts Abigail Spanberger left the 287(g) program, which empowered state law enforcement to detain immigrants. Will Democrats also bar local police and sheriffs from the program?

NEW: Abigail Spanberger this afternoon ordered that all state agencies leave ICE's 287(g) program.

This means that the state police (and some other agencies) will no longer be empowered to detain and arrest people for ICE.

Big, big move by the governor within weeks of coming into office.

Remember the incident where DHS claimed officers shot a guy because he attacked them with a snow shovel?

Yeah. It didn't happen. They shot him through the door of his own home. And then arrested him. And then lied about it. Again.

And they almost shot some kids in the process.

Watch closely: Donald Trump is plotting to rig the midterms.

In just the past 2 weeks, his AG demanded that Minnesota turn over voter rolls, his DNI raided 2020 election ballots in Georgia, & he called to 'nationalize' our elections.
