In a world where Trump is actually innocent of everything Epstein-related his people would be investigating/arresting/charging powerful people implicated and making themselves the heroes of the story.

Administrative Burdens: Policymaking by Other Means
The so-called Save America Act will force 21 million American citizens to produce passports or birth certificates just to register to vote. Most do not have them ready. Turning paperwork into a barrier is a poll tax by another name. #HandsOffHerVote social.demcast.com/s/L9X3k1fQ

The Dems should invent a board game where voters get their donor lists and a list of predators from the Epstein files and see how many matches they can make. Voters can play it on the kitchen table so it's a "kitchen-table issue".
I cannot stress enough this is a totally made up conundrum and you do not actually need to field test if talking about how our entire government is controlled by child rapists is interesting.
Democrats Are Field-Testing New Ways to Talk About the Epstein Scandal
How much do the Epstein files have to do with kitchen-table issues? The Democratic Party is debating ahead of the midterms.

Considering the previous "draw down" was purely symbolic, I'm skeptical about what this will functionally mean. That said, for the sake of the people of Minnesota, I pray it's true and that this campaign of terror will soon be over.

The fix is part of Patch Tuesday, so update your systems.

This is a huge deal. After years of leading in fundraising, Dem small donors are (rightly) pissed off at the spam texts and emails, as well as at congressional leadership. Meanwhile, GOP billionaire money is hitting record levels. Perfect storm.

It’s tough not to see this as an attempt to appease Trump, given that it’s happening against the backdrop of his record low approval ratings. But the thing is, that ship has sailed. If Gallup has published its last approval rating, then Trump will forever be the worse President in its history.

This is how CBS Evening News depicted data showing that less than 14% of ICE arrests involved those accused or convicted of violent crimes, and less than 2% had homicide or sexual assault charges or convictions.

Trump's promised kinder, gentler Gestapo.
This is the aftermath of an ICE kidnapping a few blocks from my home in St. Paul—an hour ago. A quiet street full of broken glass and at least three wrecked cars. The target of the kidnapping was taken away by ambulance. He was on a stretcher and covered by a sheet, though a cop said he was alive.

There is literally no better example of textbook fascistic thinking than "Who cares about human rights when the rich are doing so very well"
Bondi crashes out over Epstein: "The Dow is over 50,000 dollars! I don't know why you're laughing. You're a great stock trader as I hear, Raskin. The Dow is over 50,000 right now. The S&P at almost 7,000, and the Nasdaq smashing records. That's what we should be talking about."
