This week has been a lot. It’s overwhelming.
But what is in those files the DOJ released today is a scandal of monumental proportions. People fear that it is “too big to fail.” Maybe.
But Congress must act.
Yes! we need all the files. But what has been released is already a four-alarm fire.

You know what's really gross?
It's women like Kristi Noem, Karoline Leavitt, Megyn Kelly, Laura Loomer, Maria Bartiromo, and Laura Ingraham who know damn well that Donald Trump is a rapist and a pedophile...

Imagine being in Congress and letting your nation get destroyed by a serial child rapist who measured the vaginas of little girls.
This is literally where America is at.
Our legislative bodies were willing to go to war against a British king but happy to hand everything over to a child rapist.

Auctioning off 13 year-old girls to rapists at Mar-a-Lago seems like it’s going to be a tough story to bury without dropping a few bombs this weekend.

Fuck yeah Chicago! ❄️🌨️
It's near-white out conditions in Chicago as the snow comes down, and tonight's anti-ICE/CBP rally is wrapping up in front of city hall.
But not before the crowd bounces and chants, "I believe that we will win!"

I might believe these Epstein allegations about Trump if he was accused in the past by 27 different women of sexual assault, found liable for it, bragged on tape/video about grabbing women, going backstage while girls were changing at pageants, and how hot his daughter was.

Yes, there’s hell ahead. But Minnesota is reminding the country: the hate-filled fascists won’t prevail. Democracy will. The Constitution will. The rule of law...and the people who defend it...will.

Between seizing ballots in Georgia, trying to leverage Minnesota to turn over its sensitive voter data, and political prosecutions, the DOJ is laying the groundwork to subvert the 2026 elections. I created Democracy Docket for times like this. Help it grow by supporting it now. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

If what we’ve seen of the Epstein Files so far—heavily redacted and with 3 million pages still missing—is bad, keep in mind that the *Files in full* are a *hundred* times worse.
That’s how this works.

Tom Homan says he wants to do things differently, but we have yet to see meaningful change.
The only way to ensure the safety of the people of Minnesota is for the federal government to draw down their forces and end this campaign of brutality.

The Supreme Court announced it will hear arguments on April 1 in a case challenging the constitutionality of Trump’s executive order aimed at ending birthright citizenship. The order was swiftly blocked by lower courts and seeks to overturn that anyone born on U.S. soil is automatically a citizen.

In Chile under Augusto Pinochet, political dissidents killed by security forces were labeled extremists or terrorists. The government praised the military and dismissed killings as unavoidable even when victims were unarmed or already detained.

This is how authoritarian narratives work you smear the victim, praise the armed agent, and ignore the killing. No video justifies an execution. No insult erases due process. This is propaganda, not accountability.
