Mike's shutdown was all about stalling until aircraft carrier group U.S.S. Gerald R. Ford could reach Venezuela and was ready to end talk of Epsetin, by throwing us under martial law.

Trump and Pete Hegseth just killed three more people in another bombing, this time in the Pacific. The dead were said to be part of a "designated terrorist organization," which is itself utterly absurd. No evidence provided.
Trump's illegal murders in the Caribbean just got worse. An internal DOJ memo on the bombings says the victims are waging war on the US, but per NYT, it extensively cites the WH's *own claims* to this effect as evidence!
It gets even darker than that. 1/

Public education IS indoctrination & MUST be if the public is paying for it. It MUST teach FACTUAL history, science, math & language from as neutral a bias as possible while building a loyalty to the NATIONAL interest. That is legitimate indoctrination.

ATTN GOP would be survivors: put word out that if the President vetos release of Epstein files; fulsome Impeachment Articles will follow.
Too, for their complicity; Vance and Johnson should not be spared.

The Senate will need a veto-proof majority to get the files released, and I don’t know if that’s possible.
