The next Big Lie is to taking shape right in front of us. Donald Trump will try to use this to assert illegal and unconstitutional powers over the 2026 elections.

The DOJ managed to do something remarkable with the Epstein files. Theyโ€™ve over-protected the powerful and under-protected the victims.

I wrote about what we know, whatโ€™s still redacted, and why the surveillance of Congress should alarm everyone: open.substack.com/pub/logicall...

There are 28 Republican members on the House Oversight Committee.

None of them showed for Les Wexnerโ€™s deposition on Epstein.

A photo of Rev. Jesse Jackson speaking during an interview in July 1983.

Reverend Jesse Jackson was one of Americaโ€™s greatest patriots. He spent his life summoning all 
of us to fulfill the promise of America and building the coalitions to make that promise real. 

A son of Greenville, South Carolina, Reverend Jackson first rose to the national stage as one of the young leaders of the Civil Rights Movement. 
His presidential runs in 1984 and 1988 electrified millions of Americans and showed them what could be possible. From Washington, DC to the Bay Area, from the Mississippi Delta to Appalachia, from South Africa to the South Side of Chicago, Reverend Jackson gave a voice to people who were removed from power and politics. He let us know our voices mattered. He instilled in us that we were somebody. And he widened the path for generations to follow in his footsteps and lead.

โ€˜We want to take overโ€™: All the (recent) times Trump has talked about controlling elections Trump's allies are starting to translate his anti-democratic statements into actions.

NEW: The mask has slipped.

Donald Trump is no longer just talking about subverting elections โ€” heโ€™s laying the groundwork to do it. As the 2026 midterms approach, the threat to our right to vote has never been more explicit.

GOP fast tracks monster voter suppression bill that could disenfranchise millions by requiring proof of citizenship at polls In the past few weeks, passing the legislation has been a unifying rally cry for Republicans, a welcome distraction from the partyโ€™s cratering public opinion polls.

A massive new voter suppression bill could disenfranchise 21 million Americans before the midterms.

The GOP-led campaign to create barriers to voting follows a series of alarming White House statements telegraphing its intent to interfere with the 2026 midterm elections.

James Comer spent years and millions of taxpayer dollars trying and failing to prove that there was a policy connection between Hunterโ€™s appointment to the Burisma board in 2014 and his VP dad. But Comer wonโ€™t spend a day or a dollar investigating this.

AI anxiety often misses the key margin: itโ€™s not โ€œhumans vs machines,โ€ itโ€™s โ€œhumans who use machines vs humans who donโ€™t.โ€ The tech shifts whoโ€™s productiveโ€”and who gets paid.

The SAVE Act is currently before Congress -- this bill would create another barrier to voting by requiring unnecessary citizenship documentation to register.

Voters don't need one more barrier to making their voices heard. Tell your Senators to oppose the SAVE Act!

Little kids donโ€™t have concepts of racism and xenophobia. That has to be taught. Or imposed.

Epstein gave Russians insight into Trump

Epstein attempted to arrange meetings, proposing to bring figures like Bill Gates to dinners
