Social media companies are suppressing terms like “Epstein” and “ICE” and “voting” because they don’t want you thinking about those things. Like and share everything you see.

I’m on the Senate floor right now with @booker.senate.gov @schatz.bsky.social and @gallego.senate.gov to talk about the crisis of our disappearing democracy. Never before has a President tried to indict Members of Congress for their political opposition to the President.

This is surveillance of Democratic lawmakers as the review the Epstein files, and it is chilling.

The Trump family built a crypto machine that converts presidential power into billions in cash for insiders.
