Well...isn't this interesting. Not surprising, since I believed Epstein had "useful" secrets anyway...
When people show you who they are, believe them.
BOMBSHELL update on Epstein files: Oversight Dems received new emails from Jeffrey Epstein’s estate between Trump & Maxwell and Trump & Michael Wolff.

That's a lot of effort to turn someone, acting like it's WAR, if there's NOTHING THERE.
It should give EVERY SINGLE AMERICAN dome pause, even the MAGA.
I'm sure Trump's there but maybe more than "relations w/" underage girls (like, that's not bad enough). Maybe financial deals w/ foreign entities?

🇺🇸Before the failed Nov.12 White House Situation Room meeting with Boebert, AG Pam Bondi, DAG Todd Blanche,and FBI Director Kash Patel,Trump personally called Boebert and Rep.Nancy Mace(R-SC) on Tuesday morning,urging them to remove their signatures from the Epstein files declassification petition

I like what Ezra has to say. We need to pay attention to the Primaries, and in the end, still vote Blue. I hope Indivisible can do what they plan to do.

Hey all, I know it hurt. But the answer isn't giving up or clamming up. Despite the betrayal, the two parties are NOT the same.
Had Harris won, ICE wouldn't be roaming the streets, terrorizing people - immigrants as well as citizens who LOOK like immigrants.
DOGE wouldn't have happened.

Well...now it's harder for EVERY PERSON trying to make a Blue Wave happen. It's such a depressing day.
BUT not voting, voting third party or going Republican will sink us further into fascism, and even more people will get hurt.
Blue wave, not for the politicians but as a minimal start to healing

We had a great Tuesday. So many of us got out there, only to have the Senate Dems COMPLETELY CAVE, with "safe" sacrifices voting "YES."
All the we do trying to convince skeptical Dems to go out & vote, all of us shouting "VOTE BLUE, NO MATTER WHO," trying to encourage turnout to save the nation...

Interesting take. I was initially furious and worried when I heard that Chuck Schumer had offered a deal. I did think "OMG capitulation!" Perhaps instead, it was strategy. I do hope so and that it will help out the Democrats (and the country) overall.

I'm sure many who voted for him and Republican Congress will suffer because of this. What mental gymnastics will they perform to feel good about it? Probably blame Biden, Obama, Harris, Clinton (both Clintons), DEI, Gay people, independent women . . .

Our fascism will affect (and has already) other countries in the world. And the world really needs to watch. Other fascist nations caused a lot of havoc - deaths, destruction. I have no doubt the U.S. will too.
You can smell the G&T's on his breath. Here's Hegseth promising war, war and more war. A generation of it. Where will we start? Venezuela, Mexico, Canada, Greenland, Panama, Colombia, Nigeria... South Africa. Such an embarrassment of choices...

There are less and less sources to trust while mainstream media capitulate to Trump's regime.
The Washington Post editorial board can collectively go fuck themselves.

Listening to Heather Cox Richardson, she brought up some interesting points. IF Trump is out of it, WHO is making some of those decisions? I'm not saying he's not a terrible, evil person - he is. BUT how much is this unhealthy, possibly dementia-afflicted person a puppet?

So, right now, there some some MODERATE Senators trying to come up with a way to NEGOTIATE with the GOP on the shutdown. On one hand, MANY are going to literally starve (and we all, including BUSINESSES, need to help feed them), but if they capitulate, it could mean no healthcare or VERY HIGH COST.

Sad that we live in such a country now.
Multiple abductions and ongoing sightings across Rogers Park/West Ridge reported just now.
As many eyes will be on court downtown today, there are early indications ICE may be active in this area again.
Agents reportedly snatched a daycare worker in Roscoe Village this morning.

Relax a little, breathe a sigh and smile. And get a good night's sleep. 😄☕🛌
But we need to keep the momentum going. We need to ensure that we will have FAIR elections in 2026 and 2028, and TURN UP FOR THE MIDTERMS! We can't stop till we get our country back. No complacency!

Hey Americans. WE have a job to do. I don't know that the regime is going to do - voter suppression, cross-check purging, finding excuses (making up rules) on why some Democrats didn't win, etc. We know they are gerrymandering more.
We need to show up in RECORD NUMBER for the midterms. Vote BLUE!

Corporatocracy
Kakistocracy (have you SEEN the cabinet & WH staff?)
Plutocracy
Kleptocracy
Christo-fascism (or Fascism in general)
SO sick of the Sadopopulism
We had a great 200+ year old (almost 250) experiment going with representative democracy. Let's get back to it.

Keep a watch for all of the ways they are grabbing power and the great possibility of undermining, suppressing or canceling future elections. Also, Trump is evil, but certainly far from the only one in the regime that's evil, e.g. Stephen Miller, Steve Bannon, et. al

Trump is horrible and evil. But remember that behind him are people who are also taking advantage of him, using his position for their own agenda. Stephen Miller is one of the most dangerous people right now. ANYONE responsible for creating Project 2025 is a horrible, evil human being. Watch them.

Welcome to fascism.
While we didn't know the details of how it would happen MANY OF US saw that it would happen. But not enough people listened to us. The media lied (or omitted important things) to the people. And now we are living this fucking nightmare.
Thank you media, thank you voters. 🤬

This story is insane. A man who posted a meme of Trump saying “we have to get over it” in a discussion about the CK shooting has been in jail for 2 months with a $2M bond. Meanwhile, the man who actually threatened to kill Hakeem Jeffries is out on bail.

Cowardly bullies. Like their boss.
Watch this.
Open your eyes to this brutality.
ICE beats up, drags & abducts this disabled visually impaired man.
Now share this.
Everyone must see the brutality of this administration & ask themselves what they are doing to push back.
You have power.
Even sharing this video exerts that power.

Trump is a convicted felon. He pardons other convicted felons. He and his family PROFIT from his office. Those who support him (such as cabinet members) PROFIT from their offices. He wants to spend our money for an ostentatious and gauche ballroom in our home. The house does NOT BELONG TO HIM.

HEY! This is the one I went to. Don't be fooled by the park not looking very full. MOST of the action took place on the sidewalks AROUND the park, with MANY people holding signs toward the road as a ton of cars honked. There were also No Kings protesters on sidewalks across the street from the park.
