🔥 There is little to be gained and much to lose from inviting Donald Trump to a civil rights national convention -- it's like inviting an arsonist to a barn-raising.
The NAACP reports it has drawn a line and DJT should not cross it. He is un-invited, as is appropriate.

“Both parties have really betrayed rural America, but the Republican Party got very, very good at seeing people and expressing solidarity and saying, ‘You’re right to be angry,’”
This is where the Democrats need to improve to start flipping rural districts.

Democrats spy rare opening in rural America
President Donald Trump's unpopular tariff and health care decisions have created an opportunity for the Democratic Party to court a GOP-loyal bloc.

The regime has announced two proposed rules intended to make it extremely difficult (if not impossible) for trans youth to receive the healthcare they need.
We expect robust legal challenges to these hate-filled proposals and are actively engaged with organizations on the frontlines of this fight.

And where is the associated investigation file and conclusions?
TW: This is an allegation of a conspiracy to murder a Trump rape victim & cover it up.
In the Epstein files, a former DFW Limo driver relays info about his experiences driving Trump, who was speaking about “Jeffrey” & “abusing some girl,” & him telling a Trump/Epstein victim to report their abuse.

At least 16 files have strangely disappeared from the Justice Department’s public webpage for documents related to Jeffrey Epstein — including a photograph showing Donald Trump — less than a day after they were posted, with no explanation from the government and no notice given to the public.

Why push for impeachment?
Because politics is an exercise in moving public opinion as much as counting votes in the senate.
The Jan 6 Hearings were not a criminal proceeding against Trump that would end in jail, but they focused public attention.
Performative public investigations matter

That’s a LOT of redactions to hide behind!
Here's a quilt of Volume 4 of the Epstein document dump. Gives you a 10,000 foot view of the redactions. that's 2,704 docs.

Nothing but “Epstein” should be shouted at him from the streets, by reporters, by Congress, until he follows the law or resigns in disgrace.
WOW -- Trump announces he's not taking questions today, which is highly unusual, saying "I think we have to just stop right here"
(the Epstein files are supposed to be released later today)

So is Trump just helping his good friend and convicted sex trafficker Ghislane Maxwell, or is he personally implicated even more than we’ve already seen in the Epstein files?
Either way, failure to follow the law he just signed is an impeachable offense. Which is why Johnson has recessed.

Phang: If Maxwell is so worried about the grand jury records coming out, can you imagine the treasure trove of information against Maxwell, Epstein, and others that’s being held in the total Epstein files?
