The disparity between the accountability for associating with Epstein overseas and here at home speaks very poorly about the United States’ lack of genuine values.

States and Congress — not the president — have the power to regulate elections. The SAVE Act is another attempt by the Trump administration to undermine elections and discourage Americans from making their voices heard. Tell Congress to stop this attack on the right to vote: bit.ly/4bLkoR1

The song, literally translating to “the blackout," references the devastating and ongoing power outages in Puerto Rico.
NEW: The Republican National Committee (RNC) is urging the U.S. Supreme Court to dramatically restrict mail-in voting nationwide and asking the justices to rule that ballots arriving after Election Day — even if mailed on time under state law — should not be counted.

RFK Jr. and Mike Tyson want you to believe that MAHA is just about eating healthier.
But in reality, MAHA has been focused on firing the food and medical research experts who actually make America healthy.
Bad Bunny’s performance began in the plantation, featured broken electric poles, and ended by centering a hemispheric understanding of “América”—among many other things—and some Anglo journalists are like “his performance wasn’t political.”
This is why we need to be telling our stories.
"Trump has created for himself a world in which he never hears a negative word about himself...he thinks himself answerable only to those who...think he can do no wrong...the rest of the country...doesn’t exist."
Great @mjtoma.bsky.social read of the moment:

“Lying in feces, throw up, urine… like animals in a cage at the zoo.”
A whistleblower recounts the horrific ICE detention center conditions in Baltimore — a similar story everywhere.
Running for the hills - or running from the Hill. Like animals that take cover before a storm, congressional Republicans sense an electoral disaster coming.
