Look, we can use Bluesky as a tool for catharsis -- vent: post about the despicable, crazy stuff Trump, Musk and their minions are doing, adding appropriate emojis 🤬😪. Or we can use this platform to plan our response, form our army, and coordinate our actions. I'd like to be involved in the latter.

Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."

The Treasury Department has its own Epstein file containing thousands of bank records. My investigators reviewed a portion of those records last year. I've demanded the Secretary Bessent produce the file for further investigation. He has refused repeatedly.

If I hadn’t watched this livestream as it happened I would’ve assumed this clip was fake.
I can’t begin to imagine what it’s like for normal people to parse this stuff in an environment flooded with AI video.

"We the people" waited for Robert Mueller to save us, waited for the 34 felony counts to disqualify Trump, Jack Smith charges on conspiring to overturn the 2020 election results to see him impeached, the classified documents in Mar-a-Lago bathroom to flush him, and so on ad nauseam. I have bad news

Fox News on Sept. 4 used footage from the 2020 protests after the police killing of George Floyd and said it was from 2025. We found two clear cases from that night as well as one that seemed to match a scene filmed at a key site of the 2020 protests.
