"I'm proud to represent Team USA. But we'd be remiss if we didn't mention what's going on in Minnesota and what a tough time it's been. What's happening is wrong. There's no shades of gray."

This! Every bit of this Clear, concise plan of action. Reasonable in all its aspects. Consistent with how a just society handles treason.

A "Zahltag" Moment, in a United States of “On To Cincinnati”
The crimes of Trump & Epstein are heinous, dark, and deep—but the perpetrators walk free. To survive as a democracy, we can't "turn the page." We must hold the traitors to account. Here's how.

I’m thinking it’s time to petition the UN and NATO to provide independent observers to our midterm election…the way we used to do for countries who, like us now, were facing the threat of corruption and rigged elections. It would provide some level of truth in the aftermath of whatever happens.

America has never been perfect … not even close … but overnight we have gone from a reliable partner in the world, to a dangerous pariah.
I, for one, resent the hell out of it; and a majority of Americans do as well.

This expresses so simply and so well the fundamental position the normal, average American finds themself in right now. It’s certainly how I feel. “We don’t have a choice.”

The Epstein Files Transparency Act, gave the Department of Justice until Dec. 19, 2025, to turn over investigative documents related to Epstein. Khanna and Massie wrote that the court should appoint a special master or independent monitor to make sure the department complies with the law.
