A US citizen hoping we can stop the fascists and pre-obedience cowards from turning the US into Putin's Russia.

I keep thinking back to one time ~6 to 8 years ago when I made small talk with a journalist at a trade show. He was from Russia. He told me how in Russia cable news / TV networks liked how US media companies were gaining viewership and revenue with bullshit "news" programs that blurred facts.
The control Putin has over the US goes far beyond Trump and some Republicans in Congress. We need to purge this insidious, dangerous filth from political positions at least.
Exxon swiftly dropped a couple of its longtime lawyers earlier this month after the attorneys’ names were revealed in the Epstein files, the sprawling investigation into prodigious child sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein.

Why was there a draft statement about Epstein's death created the day before he died? Seems prescient!
Newly released Epstein files include a draft statement attributed to federal prosecutors that is dated the day before Jeffrey Epstein was found dead. The draft appears among at least 23 documents in the disclosure labeled as statements from the Southern District of New York’s U.S. Attorney’s Office.
Epstein Files Reveal Prosecutors’ Announcement Dated Before His Death
The file dump includes multiple draft statements from federal prosecutors about the sex trafficker’s death, one of them dated the day before Epstein died.

This seem pretty sus. They were drafting Epstein's death announcement before he died? And we learn this after Epstein's former cellmate says he thinks Epstein was left unprotected, and that someone wanted him dead. Sort of looks like he didn't kill himself, so who was behind this and who knew?

Trump is actively making our goods more expensive by blocking a piece of key infrastructure - apparently all because his most Epstein-linked Cabinet Secretary conveyed a request from a billionaire GOP donor. America does not have to tolerate this kind of corruption.

RULE VOTE FAILS, 217-214.
Three Republicans- Thomas Massie, Kevin Kiley, and Don Bacon - buck the party to allow floor consideration of measures to end Trump's tariffs.
The first such measure, likely on Canada tariffs, could come up as soon as tomorrow

Republicans have been holding this vote open for 40 minutes or so, but the holdouts- Massie, Kiley, Bacon, reportedly left the Capitol. The absent Republican is Greg Murphy (R-NC), who has missed a lot of time since a mid December surgery.

So far, Trump is mentioned about one million times (1,000,000) in the Epstein files. There's more to go.
Trump is in the unredacted Epstein files over 1,000,000 times.
One fucking million.
And those are just the DoJ redactions that were unredacted. Not the FBI’s.
One fucking million.
And those aren’t all the files. They refuse to release the rest.
