Dark thoughts this morning…how must it feel to be Europe right now with Russian aggression ascending and Trump back in power. There will be no USA to storm the beaches this time…they will stand with the enemy. What has America done?

You don’t “move on” from the largest sex trafficking ring in the world. You expose it. #StandWithSurvivors

Ghislaine Maxwell was an equal participant in Epstein's horrifying child trafficking operation, participating in the sexual abuse, "training" the girls, and gathering CSAM. She's just as guilty and should be in prison forever.

That was clever of Bad Bunny to remind MAGA that they only *pretend* to speak for America, but America is much bigger than them and their hate. They only speak for an angry, small-minded part of the United States, not America, which is already great.

The MAGA regime has orchestrated the biggest criminal cover up in U.S. history by hiding the Epstein Files because the orange felon and many in his orbit are GUILTY AF.

I repeat, hiding the Epstein Files is proof alone that the orange felon and many in his orbit are GUILTY AF.

That is the operative question. How did she know that she'd face no legal jeopardy from speaking to the personal attorney of Donald Trump, but then perceived legal jeopardy in speaking to Congress? Also, she pleaded the fifth despite telling Blanche she never committed any crime.
Ro Khanna: " Who were the other men who raped these underage girls? Did [Ghislaine Maxwell] have any conversations about a deal with Donald Trump?…She's pleading the Fifth…Why did she not plead the fifth when Blanche asked her questions?"

"Raskin also said that he saw "references to 17-year-old girls, 16-year-old girls, 14-year-old girls, 11-year-old girls, 10-year-old girls, and I saw a reference today to a 9-year-old girl. So it is a really gruesome and grim story."

Enough! They belong in jail. Impeach to get out of power now.

Anyone who read Project 2025 knows that.
The Heritage Foundation has released a 250-year roadmap to “save America.”

The document is a how-to guide for subjugating girls & young women: a detailed plan to push them out of college, funnel them into early marriage and motherhood, and then trap them there.

🚨 BREAKING

After the Ghislaine Maxwell deposition, Rep. Melanie Stansbury warned:

• 30+ Trump-linked names in the files

• Active U.S. government cover-up

If you find yourself getting angry over the words "THE ONLY THING MORE POWERFUL THAN HATE IS LOVE" . . . you are probably a horrible, hateful person.

Epstein wrote he was “going into a SCIF” — that’s a secure facility used for classified conversations.

In another conversation, he says his house is like a SCIF. I’ve been reporting on the sites the Epstein network operated.

The exchange from the male driver was, ‘I’m gonna arrest three more families today, just for you, ha ha ha – and this evil, sinister laugh,” Brennan said. “We were both stunned and shocked.”

Brennan rejected claims from Senator Collins that the operation had ceased.

RFK Jr. and Mike Tyson want you to believe that MAHA is just about eating healthier.

But in reality, MAHA has been focused on firing the food and medical research experts who actually make America healthy.

Federal prosecutors in Minnesota were preparing to start a civil rights investigation into Renee Good’s shooting.

Then top administration officials intervened and ordered them to stop, triggering a wave of resignations in the process.

What is the regime trying to hide from us?

This document alleges the FBI erased survivors reports, used them and alleges survivor attorneys were part of the cover up.

If true, that isn’t negligence. It’s bigger than that.

Reports don’t disappear by accident.
Victims don’t erase themselves.
Release the complete Epstein files.

Wow, someone really did not think this through.

"I can 'exonerate' you for a price"—made as a public offer—is essentially an acknowledgment that the person being offered the bribe is in fact...

...a criminal who did exactly what they have been accused of.

Rep. Raskin: “I think that the DOJ has been in a cover-up mode for many months and has been trying to sweep the entire thing under the rug…There's no way you run a billion-dollar international child sex trafficking ring with just two people committing crimes.”

Everyday Trump finds another part of the American way of life he disdains (which was on display with his halftime show meltdown.) Everyday he rages against the United States & its beliefs.

He hates a diverse population
He hates democracy
He hates freedom
He hates equality
He hates laws
