The NY Times interviewed over 30 of Epstein’s former employees, victims, & associates. The result is one of the most revealing looks into Trump’s sex crimes and friendship with Epstein seen in years.

We’ve condensed the massive story into a TIMELINE of some sex crimes related to Trump . . .

The person who made the decision to hold this story has never been a news reporter or a news editor. Really sickening.

As we prepare to (probably not) release the Epstein Files, let’s talk about the evidence we already have that shows Trump is a sleazebag and, oh yes, a rapist.

ICE is arguing in court that US CITIZENS can be detained, handcuffed, and biometrically screened unless they can prove citizenship on the spot. And that a REAL ID isn't enough. This isn't border security. It's a "papers-please" America where freedom is conditional and innocence comes last.

These nominees are poised to be lifetime-appointed federal judges. And they’re officers of the court who have an obligation to tell the truth.

But they’d rather eat a huge slice of stupid, dishonest pie than admit the truth.
PAINFUL to watch. There’s a clear Trump judicial nominee loyalty test.

They must forever deny, deny, deny that he lost the 2020 presidential election.

Fragile.

Notice how there's no response from Trump, Rubio or any other US leader to Putin's temper tantrum... which is not even being reported in major US media.

Is President Donald Trump fighting a lonely crusade to restrict mail voting, taking on a Republican Party that’s staunchly protecting it?

Um, obviously not. But you might think so from how much of the Beltway press covers the issue. www.democracydocket.com/analysis/rep...

The president continues to preach austerity and hate to people struggling to make ends meet. No wonder voters are turning on him.

Trump says we need to go after drug cartels.

Meanwhile, he disbanded a DOJ task force that took them on.

And he pardoned a former Honduran president convicted of drug trafficking.

Trump doesn't care about drugs — he wants to be able to declare war on anyone he labels an enemy.

It's a power grab.

It's a long read but definitely worth. Fantastic journalism. Many of these people are alive and have a lot to answer for.

Looking at you, Jamie Dimon, Leslie Wexner, Leon Black, Ehud Barak, and others.

If Trump announces a new war with Venezuela, three things must happen immediately:
1. Congress move to impeach him for declaring war without approval
2. US military announce their refusal to comply with illegal orders
3. UNSC resolution to condemn war, even against US opposition.

Trump’s immigration agenda is rooted in racism. Ending Temporary Protected Status for predominantly Black and Brown nations tells you exactly who this administration is targeting. Racism is not immigration policy, and we deserve better.
