Today we heard from survivors of sexual abuse by Epstein and his “power friends.”
Yet, within minutes, President Trump called it a “hoax.” Why?
When children are sexually abused, the American people are not so willing to fall for his usual con game.
No lie can live forever.

So after the Epstein survivors themselves said this matter wasn't a hoax and told their stories, the President told them they were lying. That's the headline every reputable media outlet should be running.

A Black woman in Indy faced down a mob of Nazis and told them she still loves them. That’s courage they’ll never know.
But let’s be clear: she shouldn’t have to stand alone against cowards in jackboots.
America needs to rise up and crush this fascist rot before it spreads any further.

They recovered over 180 bullet shells at the CDC. Debris from shattered glass is still being cleaned up. I am completely stunned at how quickly the news cycle has moved on. This was an act of terrorism targeting public health experts, and the response seems to be a collective shrug.

Caroline Kennedy went on national television to warn America about her cousin...she called him a "predator." Always a private person, her speaking out was a significant step into the public eye for her. RFK, Jr.'s siblings did the same.
