Day 93 of the Trump-Epstein Files Cover Up!

Is the dam breaking—do the Repubs no longer want to be associated with protecting sex traffickers & pedis?
Will ALL of the files be made public? Only time will tell.

Missing The Point @missingthept.bsky.social · 3h

President Trump: “Give me the Nobel Peace Prize!”

Nobel Prize:

Democracy is a precondition for lasting peace. However, we live in a world where democracy is in retreat, where more and more authoritarian regimes are challenging norms and resorting to violence.

Maria Corina Machado – awarded the 2025 #NobelPeacePrize – has spent years working for the freedom of the Venezuelan people. The Venezuelan regime’s rigid hold on power and its repression of the population are not unique in the world. [Highlighted sentence:] We see the same trends globally: rule of law abused by those in control, free media silenced, critics imprisoned, and societies pushed towards authoritarian rule and militarisation. In 2024, more elections were held than ever before, but fewer and fewer are free and fair.

Guys, every person you see on Fox News in a mask is just Robert O'Neill, retired Navy Seal and occasional Fox News contributor. He's the former Antifa, former Gazan, former gang member. His eyes are very unique.

Y’know, silly me, I’ve always wanted and expected my leaders to be smarter, more knowledgeable and better informed than me.

The current Repubs from the top down are a bunch of incurious incompetents.

The DOJ is currently arguing in court that the president can deliberately provoke unrest and incite chaos in a city and then can use that turmoil as justification for deploying the National Guard.

Heather Cherone @heathercherone.bsky.social · 22h

Perry: How do you respond to the plaintiffs' contention that any unrest, any violence is the fault of how federal agents are interacting with members of the public? Does it matter if their conduct is why they can't execute federal laws?
Hamilton: No.

Trump’s version of “making a peace deal” is the stronger party to the deal starts bombing the crap out of the other side. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Thank you, Governor Pritzker and Will Bunch!

Will Bunch @willbunch.bsky.social · 4d

Every crisis is an opportunity. This is the moment for Dems on Capitol Hill to call a news conference and make clear: Not one dime to fund the federal government until Trump withdraws his unlawful orders and agrees not to send troops to occupy Democratic-run cities

Governor JB Pritzker @govpritzker.illinois.gov · 4d

The brave men and women who serve in our national guards must not be used as political props. This is a moment where every American must speak up and help stop this madness.

We are in the second week of the Republican shutdown.

Where are House Republicans? On vacation.

Went looking around the Capitol to see if any Republicans had the common sense to come back. Featuring @mcbride.house.gov.

Eff Kegsbreath and the Pentagon — they need the press to be amanuenses for trump propaganda more than the press needs them.

The only media I care to read & watch refuse to be stenographers for propaganda.

This is an important point.

Everyone one of these people has been asked to leave their home, their family, and their job to work without pay bc of the shutdown. We're better off thinking of ways to make this backfire on Abbott than to treat them poorly.

Texas National Guard troops arriving in Chicago (via ABC News)

Remember: These are not MAGA stormtroopers. These are everyday teachers and accountants who signed up to serve their country with their spare time. They're being used as political pawns by venal, un-American, draft-dodging president
