House Dems released emails where Epstein calls
Trump “the dog that hasn’t barked,”
says he spent “hours at my house” with a trafficking victim,
and writes in 2019 that Trump “knew about the girls.”
New 23k docs deepen ties despite denials.

This morning, the president ordered states to not distribute full SNAP benefits for November, and demanded that states “undo” any benefits payments that have already been sent to working families for food.

Read our statement in response.

Congratulations to Governor-elect @abigailspanberger.com! Virginians turned out in force to reject Trump’s regime. We’re proud of every Indivisible group who poured their hearts into this campaign to win back the Governor’s Mansion.

Just a reminder that — in the middle of a shutdown — House Republicans are on a paid vacation solely to avoid releasing the Epstein files and lowering your health care costs.

@agdanrayfield.bsky.social knows what he's doing, y'all. This is a breaking story. I'm sure they anticipated this ruling and are ready with their counter move. En banc appeal?

Deep breaths with breaking news. Take a break if this is freaking you out. Let's give events a beat or 12 to unfold.

Maria Greeley is a U.S. citizen who was detained by ICE and told her passport “isn’t real” and that she “doesn’t look like” her last name.

What do they think an American should look like?

This racial profiling happens every day under Trump’s lawless regime. It’s un-American.

Some of my colleagues who are currently crying online about TX Democrats leaving the state are the same ones who left D.C. early so they wouldn’t have to vote on releasing the Epstein Files.

Kind of interesting how that works, huh?

While researchers have found microplastics to be tied to cancer and infertility, the full scope of their impact is still unknown.

That’s why this week, 170 countries are gathering to discuss regulating the production, consumption, and disposal of plastics.

We need to explore the techniques we have to make sure the story of the LA Protests get told.
What techniques are available to you?
Where are your points of influence or leverage?

Consider both new media as well as corporate media.
Use your voice.
People in Los Angeles have been protesting 24 hours for 2 weeks straight and no news outlet is covering it!

According to sources, you can't move someone with a Public Safety Factor (PSF) designation - which Maxwell had - without waiving it. That's what happened here.

NY Times and Democracy Docket cover the same hearing. Notice the difference in framing.

This is why -- right now-- we need independent, pro-democracy media.

Epstein made $$$ billing himself as a tax wizard. Here's the catch: he wasn't an accountant or lawyer. His financial advice was ordinary at best. It looks like a cover story to hide his sex trafficking. My question: why didn't investigators follow the money?

BREAKING: New documents and testimony make it clear that Emil Bove urged DOJ officials to defy court orders – then misled the Judiciary Committee about it.

The facts are disqualifying. And the timeline is damning.
