DEMENTIA ALERT: Early this morning,Trump posted an insane accusation to Truth Social, charging Biden with ordering FBI to infiltrate insurrectionist mob that attacked the Capitol on 1/6. Problem is Biden was NOT president on 1/6. Trump, who directed mob to attack Congress, was president on 1/6.

@sanders.senate.gov: "No, Speaker Johnson, the #NoKings Rally on October 18th is not a 'hate America' rally. ... It’s a rally of millions of people who believe in American freedom and are not going to allow you and President Trump to turn us into an authoritarian country."

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

There are reports that the *entire* office of special education at the US Dept of Education has been cut. These hardworking folks ensure kids with disabilities get equal access to a quality education.

America’s children deserve better than this.

Speaker Johnson attacks the NO KINGS rallies that are planned all across the United States on October 18th. Be sure to attend the rally closest to you on the 18th. Let MAGA Mike know that the vast majority of Americans support our democracy and the right to conduct peaceful protests.

The narcissistic sociopath announced he's going to start punishing Americans by ONLY making permanent cuts to "Democrat programs" with no cuts to "Republican programs." There are no Democratic or Republican programs. Once programs become law, they benefit all eligible Americans regardless of party.

Adelita Grijalva won her election fair and square.

Now House Speaker Mike Johnson is refusing to swear her in because she would be the final signature to release the Epstein files.

Mr. Speaker, respect democracy. Obey the law. Swear Representative Grijalva in immediately.

Epstein died while Trump was President… while he controlled the DOJ. Trump knew that Epstein had information that would be catastrophic for his presidency and reputation. Trump is also a narcissistic sociopath. Do the math.

Federal investigation into the death of convicted sex-trafficker Jeffrey Epstein was marred by significant lapses, including the failure by investigators to interview potential witnesses, properly preserve certain evidence and run basic forensic tests.

In cell where Jeffrey Epstein died, a scene of disarray that never underwent thorough inspection, experts said

Photos of Jeffrey Epstein's cell show a scene of disarray that never underwent a proper inspection, according to experts.

NO KINGS

According to a recent Stephen Miller interview, “King” Trump has plenary power which essentially means he has complete, unlimited power.

King George III of England also believed that he had plenary power over the American colonies. He was ultimately disabused of that notion.

Whether or not Swalwell’s accurately reading the room, Pam Bondi never denied anything about Epstein when given chance yesterday. A simple NO when asked about photos of Trump with nude girls could’ve ended discussion. Her performance is proof that the regime believes Epstein is kryptonite for Trump.
