Thomas Massie tonight says DOJ is citing laws that don’t apply to hide key parts of the Epstein files: “They’re still trying to protect billionaires, politically connected people, and trying to obscure the involvement of our own intelligence agencies.”

For whatever it's worth... we've reached the statute of limitations on most Jan 6 crimes today

Trivial.... because Trump Admin shuttered the Jan 6 investigations and prosecutions, after the pardons were issued

Last night I wrote to you about Trump’s desperate efforts to rewrite history. Today, on the taxpayer funded WH website, he’s using our resources to pursue Orwellian 1984ish revisions. It’s our job to stop him. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

Make no mistake: this has nothing to do with supposed "fraud" or any other excuse Trump whips up. This is about enacting revenge on states that stand up to him and his cruel agenda.

GOP senator: Bombing another nation's capital and removing their president is an act of war. Anybody who argues otherwise has a very difficult argument. The Constitution indicates this should go to Congress first.

In the last several weeks Trump and his regime have essentially announced that they now view Trump as Emperor of the Americas, including the United States of America; and they are no longer bound by Constitution, domestic US law, the UN Charter, International Law, and Senate-ratified treaties.
Here is the Trump Doctrine, as articulated by Stephen Miller in his truly frightening interview with Jake Tapper this afternoon. It is very much like the doctrine of the dictators we fought and defeated in World War II and of Putin today. It is un-American at its very core.

Secretary Rubio basically said the use of military force would not occur without first coming to Congress to get authorization.

He needs to explain why he straight up lied to Congress.

Inside Stephen Miller’s Dark Plot to Build a MAGA Terror State
He is descended from Russian Jews—you know, the kind of people who were once denounced as alien and unassimilable. Today, his project is to unleash government persecution of those he deems alien and unassimilable. How far will Miller’s sadistic designs go?
