⚠️ | This massive list has now been significantly updated. You'll be shocked by how many violations of federal law the Trump Administration has already been caught in as to its hoax release of—we're now learning—only 1% of the Epstein files.
There's a reason many are talking DOJ impeachments.

PROOF EXCLUSIVE: Itemizing Every Violation of the Epstein Files Transparency Act By the Trump Administration
Major media reports confirm that (a) Trump is personally overseeing the case—and thus all violations of federal law now known—and (b) those running the show day-to-day are all his lawyer-agents.

Ww have an example of this in Oxford today. Fewer than 15 far right people on a pathetic march compared to 150 anti-racist counter-demonstrators. And what does our local paper do? This biased reporting focused on one of the far right. 1/2

If you’re giving the president of the United States a cognitive test to identify animals that a kindergarten class could identify then we have a serious problem. We are in extreme danger.

Basically, they are completely bungling this. They cannot do a coverup properly, if that’s what they’re trying to do. A partial release of documents, more redacted than they should be, with a clear political slant to what’s in batch one, and then deletions…all of that keeps the story going.

Since his appointment, RFK Jr. has pursued a brutal vision of American health that several experts liken to a sort of eugenics. Kennedy has made it clear that certain deaths are acceptable or even preferable to a world where every child is vaccinated.

I lived thru the end of public smoking. Early in my career I presented to city councils who were smoking, in front of audiences who were smoking.
Smoking in restaurants, airplanes, hospitals…
All of that seems insane now, but it was very controversial when we DID change it.
We CAN change things.

There was strong pushback from Bregman in the final Reith lecture when Anita Anand challenged him that democracy had voted in Trump.
As he said, it’s manifestly not a democracy when vast sums of money are used to boost a candidate & influence the electorate.
