Why does everyone keep calling it “The Epstein Ballroom?” Please stop repeating “The Epstein Ballroom” because it is not called “The Epstein Ballroom!” Don’t tell the news that it’s called “The Epstein Ballroom” and please don’t repost this!!!!!

We must now start calling this what it is: Trump’s Invasion. It started with federal agents, it will soon include deploying federalized members of the Illinois National Guard against our wishes, and it will now involve sending in another state’s military troops.

Dems should be clear that post 2026 election any political prosecutions ordered by Trump will be investigated, line prosecutors called to testify, and if warranted, impeachment of AG and any other senior DOJ involved. There have to be consequences.

We don't yet have any idea what the ideology of the Kirk shooter was.

But we do know that the Denver school shooter was a far-right white supremacist.

‘Radicalized’ Evergreen High School shooter appeared to hold antisemitic, violent views in online accounts

Armed with a revolver, the 16-year-old shooter systematically reloaded and fired as he wandered the school, trying to find new targets, police say.

Or…Trump admits US is going to have to back down from embarrassing trade deals and America will suffer greatly when it is proven Trump’s manufactured tariff crisis is illegal.

J.B. Pritzker says he's heard intelligence that Trump is "staging" the Texas National Guard to invade Chicago. It's hard to believe this is really happening, but Trump seems to be recreating the war between the states.

As many as 100 survivors of Jeffrey Epstein and other victims of sexual abuse are expected to attend a rally Wednesday in Washington, D.C. as a bipartisan Congressional effort gains steam to force the U.S. Department of Justice to make public its controversial files on the disgraced sex trafficker.

As many as 100 Epstein victims will attend Washington rally Wednesday

The rally comes as lawmakers Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) and Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA) want a vote in the U.S. House of Representatives to force Attorney General Pam Bondi to release Epstein files.

BREAKING: The Pentagon has authorized up to 600 military lawyers to serve as temporary immigration judges.

This is a blatant expansion of military power into a civilian judicial process, a dangerous erosion of the separation between the two.

Every day, we inch closer to fascism.

Rural communities and people with disabilities will have even more limited access to health care. Families with low incomes who rely most heavily on community clinics and health departments will have fewer resources available to them. Children will lose access to lifesaving vaccines due to cost.

He wants to have military in locations he knows will be a problem for him during the mid-terms. The Republican led senate & house are allowing this unhinged behavior to remain in power. They will be responsible for this country’s downfall. They are active participants in this hostile takeover.

There were only two witnesses in the Epstein grand jury; further confirmation that AG Bondi asking for transcript release is nothing but a smoke screen: wapo.st/3GPfVjn

Epstein grand jury transcripts include testimony from only two witnesses, feds say

The disclosure raises questions whether the Justice Department’s attempts to unseal the transcripts will satiate the appetite for more information.
