Bill Clinton demands the immediate release of any remaining Epstein files materials "referring to, mentioning or containing a photograph of Bill Clinton."
Trump should make a similar demand of Bondi.
(But by law, she should have already released ALL the files anyway, only redacting victims).

For those of us warning about democracy's potential disintegration, the decision by CBS to pull an exhaustively researched 60 Minutes piece, critical of Trump, is another red alert moment.
When truth disappears as the media gets coopted by the regime, there's little left.

DOJ broke the law today by refusing to produce all the Epstein files. It also broke the law by redacting information other than to protect victims. Yet, the corporate media is acting that DOJ did us a huge favor.

A future Congress should pass the “Status Quo Ante” Act that wherever practicable unwinds President Trump’s actions — from White House and Kennedy Center changes to tariffs to wrongful firings and deportations. Keep a publicly accessible draft of the bill that is updated each time he does something.

No. It’s a great time to be a violent criminal in America. Our most sophisticated law enforcement agencies are busy hunting landscapers & housekeepers.
Is there any precedent in modern history for a mass shooting occurring in a public setting with 10+ casualties and the perpetrator not being apprehended? It's really hard to fathom.

Make your calls. Go to your town halls. Ask your state and local officials what they are doing under state and local law. Rest. Hydrate. Make soup for the hungry. Don’t let people tell you that you’re doing it wrong. Not a sprint. Not a marathon. A relay. Find your team. Thank you.

This column on Vox is the biggest pile of steaming AI crap I've seen this year. Human's aren't running out of ideas. Instead, those with power and money don't want to listen to ideas that threaten their power and money.
Ideas are plentiful. Putting those ideas into action is the hard part.

will say this over and over but the message from the republican party is that we need to go backwards, everything was better in the past, human progress is bad, and you should make less money, buy fewer things, and enjoy nothing. but minorities will also suffer and that is the most important thing.
Trump: "You can give up certain products. You could give up pencils. Because under the China policy, every child can get 37 pencils. They only need 1 or 2. They don't need that many. You always need steel. You don't need 37 dolls for your daughter. 2 or 3 is nice. So we're doing things right."
