I am furious that DOJ ignored the new federal law requiring release of the Epstein Files. I am equally angry that so many in legacy media seem not to care.

Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

So, Congress passes a law requiring the release of ALL the Trumpstein files. Any redactions to protect ONLY the victims

Trump DOJ releases a highly redacted and incomplete batch after working on them for months, citing various lame excuses for their non-compliance

This is what a coverup looks like

DOJ broke the law today by refusing to produce all the Epstein files. It also broke the law by redacting information other than to protect victims. Yet, the corporate media is acting that DOJ did us a huge favor.

Now, more than ever, help build independent, pro-democracy media. hubs.ly/Q03CbHTt0

The White House has been caught.

The administration inserted a photo of Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson, and Diana Ross into the Epstein files and falsely implied it showed them with victims.

In reality, it’s a publicly available fundraiser photo featuring Jackson and Ross’s own children.

This is obscene.

Marco Rubio (together with Trump & Musk) is to blame for the the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people already this year (& millions more to come) through disease & malnutrition because of the USAID shutdown.

Say that, not this.

Putin to NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte:

What nonsense is he saying? I'd really like to ask him: Listen, what are you saying about a war with Russia?

You can read, right? Then read the new US National Security strategy. The USA is the key player in NATO, the main sponsor of NATO.

Remember this if nothing else: Every shouted lie in Trump’s outburst tonight was an effort to cover up a Trump failure or crime. Every single one.

73% of ICE detainees have no criminal convictions, according to govt data.

Don’t fall for Trump’s lies about targeting the “worst of the worst.”

As ICE terrorizes cities to fill up detention centers, remember that some of Trump's major donors are private prison corporations.

So Trump’s big primetime “address to the nation” is just him struggling to read a psychotic script full of lies written by Stephen Miller about how great he is.

This is fucking embarrassing.

I can’t wait for our next POTUS to throw all this shit in the trash.
Trump has added new plaques under his ‘presidential walk of fame’ in the White House.

On Obama: “Barack Hussein Obama was the first Black President…One of the most divisive political figures in American history.”

On Biden: “Sleepy Joe Biden was, by far, the worst President in American History...”

Biden took over a shutdown economy in the middle of a global pandemic that brought on global inflation. The economic headlines leading up to the 2024 election were mostly about how our economic recovery was the envy of the world.

I'm getting really tired of hearing these whiners tell this lie.
JD Vance lies that Biden "gave us the worst economy in the world"

“He is not unstoppable and you are not without power”

Remind yourself of this every day.

Especially on the bad days.
Buttigieg on Indiana: "The big part of how Trumpism works is to make you feel totally disempowered. To make him feel inevitable. And yet the clear takeaway from this is he is not unstoppable and you are not without power."

All Republicans in Congress are faced with a choice. They either stand with Trump, Vance and Putin, or they stand with Ukraine, Europe, most Americans, and the civilized world. Of course, there is also a 3rd option which most of them usually choose - cowardly silence.

Tyson Foods over the last few months:

• Approved 43 MILLION shares in stock buybacks
• Spent $196 million buying back its own stock to juice up the price
• Announced closure of Lexington plant: 3,200 workers in a town of 11,000 people

Reporters who fact-check Trump to his face are not “stupid”, they are not “piggies”, and they are not “ugly”. They are doing their jobs, and doing it under pressure most of us will never experience.

We should be grateful for their service. I appreciate their courage now more than ever.
