NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen.
Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

I think Trump has shown us time and again that he can’t do anything normally. He wants all of us to think he is someone “special”. He is special all right, a special narcissistic, sociopathic megalomaniac. Yep, he is special. We just need to get him out of public anything.
Get a load of Trump’s one-armed clapping. Forget about drinking water normally, can this guy do ANYTHING normally?

I love this idea! The DNC should have on staff, a press secretary who would come on and address the lies put forth by the Trump administration every day. Don’t let the Trump admin control the narrative like they are doing now. Put forth the counterpoint, every day.
Karoline Leavitt does almost daily press briefings. There should be equal and opposite briefings from Democrat spokespeople to counter her lies. God knows there would be plenty of material to counter.

Wait a minute, isn’t this the same guy who promised to greatly refuse the H1-B program so that American workers could take these jobs. Did I totally misread what he said during his campaign? He also decried how many foreign students were being enrolled in our universities. Who paid him off?

It would be fantastic if all the major and minor news media were to broadcast this live. Ms. GrijLva has had to wait much too long for this due to Speaker Johnson giving his caucus paid vacation to avoid a possible vote on the release of the #EpsteinFiles.
🚨BREAKING: At long last, Mike Johnson will swear in Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva on Wednesday at 4 pm ET.

What has she done, besides stay out of the news and only show up when absolutely necessary to be by Trump’s side? Thankfully, we haven’t heard much from her, much like Trump 1.0, we didn’t hear or see that much of her then either, except for the Rose Garden debacle. Fox is trying to suck up.

Poor little Mike Johnson, he just can’t bring himself to do what is right for his constituents or the country. He has to obey his dear leader and Trump just doesn’t want the #EpsteinFiles released and he doesn’t want the #EpsteinShutdown to end just yet.
Adelita Grijalva now holds the record for longest delay between winng a special Congressional election and being sworn into office.
Why the delay from Mike Johnson?
Perhaps it's because Grijalva would cast the final vote needed to release the Epstein files.

Citizens United is the worst thing that could have ever happened to the country in regards to politics. Get corporate money out of our political system, we will be much better off. Get rid of lobbyists as well. Too much money buying politicians.

The fact of the matter is that helping people costs money and that is just not popular with corporations that, for all practical purposes, own a vast number of congresspersons.
Get money out of politics and we can move onward and upward

This says it all about his cult and what he thinks of them. He is telling the world they are just as dumb as rocks and his Trumplican Party in Congress is along for the ride so they can stay in power by rigging the voting systems and thus the elections.

How true, sadly enough, the instigator of the January 6, 2021 hate America rally was not punished for his actions that day and those who were held accountable were later pardoned by the felon in chief. I don’t understand how Trump convinced people to elect him again after all his criminal actions.

Democracy did die at the Washington Post, they bent the knee and paid their tribute to their new dear leader, so yes, democracy died in silence at WaPo. Definitely not the same paper as the one that broke the Watergate scandal.
Imagine being the largest newspaper in Washington, DC with the motto "Democracy Dies in Darkness" and thinking to publish this today.
You might think WaPo editors would look out the window and realize something more important is happening. But perhaps democracy already died over there.

Be safe out there today, and by all means, stay peaceful and don’t give Trump the reason to declare an insurrection so he can militarize the place. That is exactly what he wants. His secret police may incite violence just to achieve Trump’s goal.

I guess Rick Scott didn’t get the memo from Trump blaming the “No Kings” protests on Antifa. Maybe Scott figured out that the Antifa organization doesn’t really exist so he is finding someone else to blame. The Trumplicans just can’t keep their story straight.

Does anyone really believe the Trumplican Party will negotiate on the ACA credits if the Dems go along with this very flawed CR to reopen the government? The Trumplican Party has shown time and again they will only do what their dear leader tells them to. Stand firm Democrats!!!!
Translation: If Dems vote for the CR, Thune will allow a vote on extending ACA subsidies then Mike Johnson will kill that in the House.

One more Republican effort to suppress voter turnout. The Republicans know that if people vote in large numbers, they won’t win the midterms or the general election in 2028. Trump talked about the system being rigged and that is exactly what they are doing, rigging the system to favor them.

A very good read and an accurate summary of what actually happened yesterday in the WH. As other countries have done, they played to Trump’s narcissism to get him to accept, or at least to think about, the other side of the Russia/Ukraine coin. Trump needs to stand with our allies, not with Russia!!

Crimes against humanity are exactly what the Trump administration has done with their illegal detention of people by ICE! The illegal use of military forces to “bring law and order” to LA and DC when it wasn’t warranted. Miller is projecting what Trump has done onto Newsom and Bass.
Stephen Miller just accused Ca Governor Gavin Newsom and LA Mayor Karen Bass of “CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY."
