The FBI Redacted Trump’s Name in the Epstein Files The bureau’s FOIA team tasked with conducting a final review of the records blacked out the names before higher-ups said last month that releasing the documents β€˜would not be appropriate or warranted....

Bloomberg journalist Jason Leopold reported this morning that the president’s name has been redacted from more than 100,000 documents the FBI has on child-sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein.

The TOGETHER WE RISE march today in downtown San Antonio was the shot in the arm that I needed! Americans coming together to peacefully protest the sad state of our country and to demand adherence to our laws made getting out in the sweltering heat completely worth it. @bexardems.bsky.social #50501

The White House doesn’t need a $200 million dollar ballroom.

Americans need healthcare.
Americans need education.
Americans need safe neighborhoods.
Americans need affordable groceries.
Americans need a living wage.

America needs a radical priority readjustment.

Elizabeth Warren Says Trump Is Turning the White House Into a β€œCrypto Cash Machine” In an exclusive interview with Vanity Fair, the progressive stalwart sounds off on Trump’s crypto moves and his focus on the Fedβ€”instead of β€œthe Epstein files.”

People who voted for Trump sent him to the White House because he promised to lower costs on day oneβ€”not to turn the White House into a crypto cash machine for his own benefit.

Dictator Donald isn't just erasing the history of Black, Brown, Asian, and women Americans. He's also doing Orwellian edits benefitting himself:

Democrats currently control 32% of Texas' 38 House seats, despite winning 42% of the presidential vote in 2024. If Abbott's gerrymander is successful, Democrats would control just 18% of Texas House seats.
