We’re about to enter our LAST WEEK of our livestream fundraising experiment.

I wanted to prove that campaign fundraising can be fun and transparent instead of being reliant on rich people.

ICYMI, here’s how it’s been going:

MSNBC is reporting that the DOJ is seeking an indictment of John Bolton.

I can’t stand that guy, and still: THIS IS SO WRONG.

Great point from @mjtoma.bsky.social: Millions of us absolutely do see what's happening to the USA.

"We are horrified, shocked, enraged, and ashamed. We are acting, in a thousand ways, to oppose it. This cannot, and will not, be how the United States ends."

QUESTION: Why do we need Mike Johnson to "swear in" Rep Grijalva? Who gives a f**k about their traditions? She's elected. Call a locksmith, unlock the office, get to work, release the Epstein files. 💯 The p*dophiles don't follow rules. Why should we?

Trump announces he's putting a bajillion percent tariff on China

It has just been learned that China has taken an extraordinarily aggressive position on Trade in sending an extremely hostile letter to the World, stating that they were going to, effective November 1st, 2025, impose large scale Export Controls on virtually every product they make, and some not even made by them. This affects ALL Countries, without exception, and was obviously a plan devised by them years ago. It is absolutely unheard of in International Trade, and a moral disgrace in dealing with other Nations.

Based on the fact that China has taken this unprecedented position, and speaking only for the U.S.A., and not other Nations who were similarly threatened, starting November 1st, 2025 (or sooner, depending on any further actions or changes taken by China), the United States of America will impose a Tariff of 100% on China, over and above any Tariff that they are currently paying. Also on November 1st, we will impose Export Controls on any and all critical software.

It is impossible to believe that China would have taken such an action, but they have, and the rest is History. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

DONALD J. TRUMP
PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

I refuse to let hopelessness prevail. This may just be one essay, by a lawyer few have heard of, in a newsletter read by a fraction of the public. But I will not stay silent.

Does Qatar have the Epstein files or its equivalent? Is Qatar blackmailing Trump in exchange for building an air force base on US soil? It's either this or billions of dollars.

Release the Epstein files. Now.
