The “Where are the protests?” lament after Trump’s inauguration was always based on a (willful) misperception – a myth propagated by a punditry vying for relevance, hellbent on presenting grandiose reckonings and sweeping narratives rather than careful empirical assessments.
Overall, we have tallied 4x more protests through Jan 31, 2026 than we had through Jan 31, 2018

I told him: “We already have class warfare in this country — billionaires are waging war on the rest of us.”

Pam Bondi couldn’t look Epstein’s survivors in the eye while dodging questions about what they endured.
Her office couldn’t even give them the time of day in the investigation.
The AG works for the American people — not for Donald Trump. This is shameful and disqualifying.

Pam Bondi broke laws at her Oversight Committee appearance
Text SIGN PLMRWV to 50409 — Pam Bondi perjured herself multiple times while showing complete contempt for the Oversight committee. In addition, photos of her "burn book" showed members of Congress were surveilled on their review of the unrelated Epstein files. Where is the accountability? The AG can just break laws now?
