I think we are going to have a Democratic-controlled Senate.
And all we will need for the leadership of that Democratic Senate to do is hold actual, real, impeachment trials.
As the Constitution requires.
Not the bullshit fake trials like the ones that the Senate held in 2020 and 2021...

The astonishing amount of fraud, deception, and graft that will be associated with the so-called Board of Peace is going to BLOW YOUR HAIR BACK.
I doubt humanity has ever encountered as dark and diseased an operation as this one will be, if it even survives the decade.

Trump promises billions in aid to Gaza as Israeli airstrikes reportedly kill 12 Palestinians
Trump's Board of Peace does not mention Gaza in its charter, instead hinting at a way to swerve accountability to the United Nations.

Democratic Congresswoman: “Ms Bondi, there are a number of Epstein survivors in the room today. Could you turn around and acknowledge their presence?”
Bondi: “The Dow is up over 50,000! Acknowledge that!”

Today’s performance by Pam Bondi was not only unacceptable, it was clearly a smoke screen for a coverup, and her anger is at herself because her shattered moral compass still has a pulse.

I’m not sure people outside the Twin Cites realize the prevalence and the fear ICE is causing in Twin Cities. They are dining undercover pretending to be couples at restaurants, they are going to businesses and checking the license plates of cars to find employees. Every public place is compromised.

No—it's even worse than this. And I'll tell you why.
Trump knows that if he invades Greenland, no future Democratic president would do anything but give it back. He can't allow that. Which means invading Greenland is also him deciding that there'll *be* no future Democratic presidents.
Get it now?

The first thing Virginia Spanberger did after being sworn in as Governor of Virginia was repeal Youngkin’s executive order requiring state and local law enforcement to cooperate with ICE.
This is the kind of leadership Democratic governors nationwide should be emulating.

Multiple survivors claim Epstein dangled admission to top universities to ensnare them in his sexual abuse network
A New York City artist who said Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell shopped her around to men is among the survivors claiming that Epstein used the lure of a university education to ensnare her in their sexual abuse network.
Rina Oh was a 21-year-old art student when she was introduced to Epstein in 2000 by Lisa Phillips, a model and Epstein survivor who has since emerged as a powerful voice in the survivors’ network pressuring for full accountability in the long-running money, sex and power scandal.
