Trump has done enormous harm to the country.
He is a deeply corrupt and venal man.
He is wildly unpopular, his agenda more so. He's lost the consent of the governed.
He is old, infirm & clearly no longer mentally competent to run a nation.

It is time now to start talking about him moving on👇
Growing list of reasons Trump should step down:
- Cover up of his involvement in notorious sex trafficking ring
- Unprecedented corruption, self enrichment
- Tariffs are historic, unprecedented abuse of power
- Illegal desecration of most important global symbol of American democracy
Mike Johnson is really committed to covering up for Trump and Epstein

Republicans: Some tips for ya -

➡️ Child molestation is bad. Always. Stop hiding your perps.

➡️ Shutting down a government is bad.
For workers, families, small businesses, public health (if you care about that), public services, research, our economy, our global standing, our DEMOCRACY.

On January 6, 2021, Donald Trump refused to order the National Guard to DC when then *were* needed.

On August 11, 2025, Donald Trump orders the National Guard to DC when they are *not* needed.

Both instances are examples of Trump's disregard for law, order, decency, and democracy.

While we're all waiting for the Epstein files to be released, here's the five volume bipartisan set of the Russian interference and collusion reports.

We should probably call them the Marco Rubio files.

Treasury Department files reviewed by Senator Ron Wyden’s staff members show 4,725 wire transfers, adding up to nearly $1.1 billion, associated with just one of Mr. Epstein’s bank accounts. Follow. The. Money.
"Epstein clearly had access to enormous financing to operate his sex trafficking network, and the details on how he got the cash to pay for it are sitting in a Treasury Department filing cabinet." https://trib.al/ZTn3IyO

Please focus on amplifying the accounts of the Trump/Epstein victims instead of the Trump lying distractions.

Watch this space.
Apparently people On Here are oblivious to ways HJC, Oversight, & others have been hammering on Epstein consistently. But this, from @wyden.senate.gov, is one even I haven't given due attention.

Bessent is withholding financial docs abt who FUNDED Epstein.

Just heard Bill Kristol, former chief of staff for Dan Quayle, say he thinks ICE should be defunded and that the entire DHS should probably be disbanded, which puts him to the left of maybe the majority of elected Democrats. Truly wild times we’re living in.

Trump lied.

He said he was going after the “worst of the worst” — but instead he’s sending masked men after U.S. citizens, kidnapping and disappearing people, and eliminating all of our due process rights.

Trump signed an executive order to blow up the 2026 election: decertifying voting machines, blocking mail ballots, demanding citizenship papers to vote. This isn’t about “election integrity”—it’s voter suppression on steroids. This is how authoritarians rig the game.

Trump bombing Iran was illegal and unjustified.

I ran for Congress to make sure our leaders consider the true costs of war.

And I will be in the Senate, standing on my titanium legs, demanding answers from Trump.

That one person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress, or our allies, or fully explaining to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers.

Reminder that Congress has the power to stop all of this. Where the hell are they? Hello?
