The fear is that Ghislaine Maxwell can tie Donald Trump to the details of what Trump and Epstein called the P*ssy Committee.
The Committee consisted of their efforts to get girls for Prince Andrew.
Really should have stuck with calling them creepy, uncool, goofy weirdos.

β’ For context, Los Angeles is 502.7 square miles, and he deployed 4,000 troops there.
β’ Washington, D.C. is only 68.3 square miles.
This is what cities under siege look like.
BREAKING: Trump is deploying the National Guard in D.C. to distract you from the fact he will not release the Epstein files.
I am in Washington, D.C. I feel safe. I am reporting live.

You can tell that the President is serious about public safety in the nationβs capital because he pardoned a bunch of people who committed violent crimes in DC on his first day back in office.

1) The President has legal authority over the D.C. police and the D.C. National Guard that he doesn't have *anywhere else* in the country; &
2) Even if this doesn't set a legal precedent, it sets an ominous *political* precedent for pretextually overriding local government.
Governor Newsom on Twitter: β@realDonald Trump, if you will not stand down, California will be forced to lead an effort to redraw our maps to offset the rigging of maps in red states. If the other states call off their redistricting efforts, we will do the same. And American democracy will be better for it.β
We need this energy from Democrats on every level of government. Democratic governors and legislators must make it clear that if Republicans redraw congressional maps to rig the system, blue states will respond: www.bluestatedefiance.org/redistrictin...

Demand your reps denounce this dictatorial takeover and immediately prioritize D.C. statehood.

None of this is about crime. It's about control.
It's a power grab, plain and simple.

A photo of a billboard near Mike Johnsonβs office in Louisiana: βHEY, MIKE JOHNSON: STOP HIDING/RELEASE ALL THE EPSTEIN FILESβ alongside images of Jeffrey Epstein, Trump, and Johnson.
Weβre keeping up the nationwide pressure with billboards in GOP districts that call Republicans out for covering up the Epstein files. We want to add more billboards in more districts, but that depends on the amount of money we raise. Please pitch in if you can: secure.actblue.com/donate/epste...
