Since we can't do polls here on bsky, let's try this... If you believe that Donald Trump is guilty of child crimes in relation to Jeffrey Epstein - repost this.

The fact that random people on the Internet are outsmarting Trump's DOJ in detecting the removal of Epstein Files shows just how amateurish Pamela Jo Bondi and her D-list team are.
There are competent coverups and sloppy, easily detected coverups. This is the latter.

Goldman: This guy is so clearly trying to follow the Putin model—using the government to make money, making sure his allies control the most important companies in the country, including our media companies, doling out money by deregulating their industries, and taking money from them in return…

The DOJ broke the law. The only possible way to rectify the situation is to impeach the Attorney General, then demand the DOJ release all the files in accordance with federal law.
If Congress is unwilling, they're complicit.

I have a question for Constitutional scholars.
If power to declare war is reserved to Congress, and...
A naval blockade around a nation is an act of war, and...
#ConvictedFelonTrump placed a naval blockade on Venezuela...
There was no Congressional approval...
Did he just commit a High Crime ?

A President has no power to declare war, but Donald John Trump just did that by declaring blockade on Venezuela.
In international law, such a declaration is equivalent to a declaration of war.
If the GOP wants an escape, they could use that and impeach him before the weekend.
As if.

Koch-backed lobby groups have spent over $1.1M pressuring GOP lawmakers to let 20M Americans' health insurance costs go up.

I don't think people are really processing the fact that the sitting U.S. President and his team — and maybe the Supreme Court — and maybe half the Congress — want to force us to accept that we should obey the President and not the Constitution.
I don't know what news would be bigger than that.

It's unbelievable how corrupt the Supreme Court is. It's insane that we are letting them get away with it. They are taking away all of our rights.

Marco Rubio knew the truth 9 years ago, but he sold his soul for power. Yet he was correct: He will one day have to explain his support for Trump, and this is not going to end well.

Just completely, shamefully embarrassed by America - in every arena that Trump has influenced.
