'Epstein bomb about to drop': Dem lawmaker claims House Republicans ready to abandon Trump

Damn I hope this is true. I know JD is worse, but he doesn't have the cult following. I don't believe he'll be able to do as much damage.

Make no mistake. This nonsense about Antifa is directly tied to the 2026 and 2028 elections. It’s the “crisis” they will use as justification to shut down key voting centers.

Most of Dem Senators did not attack Bondi yesterday as they should have. Among other things they should have said, "You're lying again, Ms. Bondi" and "That's a bald-faced lie, Ms. Bondi."

The rapid rise of authoritarianism is no place for etiquette.

This administration is flooding the zone so furiously that people have largely lost track of the lethal attacks on boats in the Caribbean, the gov’t shutdown, the economy, failed release of the Epstein files & so much else. It’s a tactic of would-be strongmen.

So, so glad she's seen this. There can be NO excuses now to deploy the NG or military.

This is literally the protest they're calling a "war zone." #Portland

Best thing is for us to stick together, stay weird and nonviolent, and make a mockery of this administration.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

Keep it up, #Portland!

Nonviolent protests such as the morning pj party at #ICE is showing the truth about the city and the truth about the administration.

Thanks @parkroseperma.bsky.social for continuing to be a steady voice.

Last year they claimed “illegals” were voting, without any evidence.

They used fear mongering to push for voter suppression laws.

Now they claim “illegals” are getting free healthcare, again without any evidence.

So they can make healthcare unaffordable for millions of Americans.

Enough.

Judge Immergut, appointed by Trump, lives in Portland and called bullshit on the claims that it's a war zone.

George Takei @georgetakei.bsky.social · 2d

Thanks to the quick work by the judge here to stop this out of control White House.

The image is an X post by Kyle Cheney (@kyledcheney
) on X.com, reporting: "BREAKING: Immergut has granted Oregon and California's motion to block the new call-up of Guard troops to Portland. She says this effort to bring CA and TX troops to Oregon is in 'direct contravention' of her original order." The post includes a verified badge.

Welcome! I hope it gets off the ground because tbh it's what we have to do. Too many of us, though, are still too angry with maga voters, even though those voters are changing their minds. But once we united, we fight and we win.

You must stop thinking the absence of law & due process, cruelty & incarceration will only affect “them.”

Under fascism, everyone is eventually “them.”
