NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen.

Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

It's unsurprising but nonetheless disturbing and disgusting to see how many "Christian" men are out here doing their damnedest to justify the rape and abuse of teenage girls.

Amazon announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year.

UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year.

Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M.

This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

Epstein’s key conspirator Ghislaine Maxwell was arrested in July 2020 and charged with crimes of enticement of minors and trafficking of underage girls.

Additional charges were added later including perjury, which required a separate trial.

She filed numerous appeals challenging her arrest

To be clear: Trump is only calling for the GOP to release the Epstein files because he was told he’s about to lose 150+ republicans on this vote.

Thank you to the seven incredible witnesses who joined our Chicago shadow hearing last month.

Their powerful testimonies, advocacy, and organizing are all critically important pieces of the puzzle in the fight to protect immigrant communities. Listen to their stories:

After months of fighting the release of the Epstein Files, Trump now realizes he’s going to lose the vote in the House so he tries to pretend he wants the House to vote to release it.

If Trump wanted the files released, he could RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES TODAY. He doesn’t have to wait on Congress.

In CNN’s latest poll, just 20% of Latinos approved of his job performance, down from 41% in February. This 21-point drop far outpaces the 4- and 9-point drops among Black and White Americans and the 10-point drop in his approval rating overall.

The Trump regime has blown up 21 boats and murdered 83 people without providing any evidence that they were doing anything wrong. If this keeps up, their next step will be to blow up Americans too. You watch. And they won't provide any evidence that the Americans were doing anything wrong either.

Tragically, we are now seeing utterly kooky, damaging, dangerous, anti-science, anti-vaccine animus from governmental officials (folks like RFK Jr, Marty Makary, Jay Bhattacharya, Vinay Prasad, Tracy Beth Høeg) 😢
“We are seeing a very familiar playbook, but we are now seeing it from the highest levels of our government’s health agencies rather than the margins of the anti-vaccine conversation.” www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...

I think researchers and policymakers in prominent positions who pushed mass infection with SARS-CoV-2, said the pandemic was over, and claimed Covid was a flu/cold, helped to embolden the anti-science and anti-vax movements they decry. A bit late to speak up now.

They are snatching people off the street and sending them away to brutal prisons in foreign lands with zero due process - and they won't even bring them back when they realize a mistake was made.

That's frightening stuff for any American who actually loves their country.

This gives me hope.

Since Election Day—and especially after Schumer announced he was voting yes on the Republican CR bill—there’s been a surge of people stepping up to run for office. 🔥

Check out these numbers.
