The Bubble is Burst in D.C. If there’s one overriding feature of this Trump regime, it’s that these people all want money, power, and fameβ€”but they do not want scrutiny or accountability.

Feds asked New Mexico to halt Jeffrey Epstein Zorro Ranch sex trafficking probe, records show Former AG says feds halted New Mexico’s Epstein inquiry without sharing promised evidence as state reopens Zorro Ranch investigation.

Former New Mexico Attorney General Balderas details how the FBI forcefully shut down New Mexico's criminal probe into what was up at Epstein's Zorro Ranch in Santa Fe Co. The feds insisted that they were running their own criminal probe and that NM's involvement would not be tolerated. It was a lie.

Israel and Saudi Arabia organized the war against Iran, Trump is loaning them the US military and paying them with US lives. It's not that hard to understand.

Please take photos/videos of any fuckery going on outside of polling locations. I’ve personally received multiple reports of MAGA tents/tables set up well within 200 ft of poll doors trying to intimidate voters with β€œI am Charlie Kirk” banners and chants.
Alert poll workers ASAP!
Stay in line!

Last summer, trump claimed to have β€œobliterated” Iran’s entire nuclear program. Here we are a few months later and suddenly Iran has nukes ready to deploy. Trump was lying 8 months ago and he’s lying now. He is creating a fake national emergency to expand his power and rule by executive order.
