The Republican #PedoProtectorsCaucus

Start calling them that, brand them with it until they demand the full release of the #EpsteinFiles, redacting the victims of course.

Because they're not on side of Epstein Maxwell child rape victims, but on the side of #Pedo rapists like Donald Trump

If states can be invaded why even have states anymore? This is a huge threat to the Union.

Stephen Miller and the Trump regime are deliberately provoking violence in American cities so they can blame it on a vast terrorist conspiracy of “Antifa” and “radical left Democrats.”

Greg Abbott is a lackey of Donald Trump.

He’s going against exactly what he said he would do last year.

Day 261

Adelita Grijalva is waiting in to be sworn in.

Mike Johnson won’t do it.

Even though he did TWO pro forma swearing ins for Republicans.

Why?

Well, Grijalva would be the last vote needed to release THE EPSTEIN FILES.

This is Johnson again protecting a pedophile.

You are all caught up.

Captur test. Picture of Trump. Check all the squares containing someone in the Epstein files. All boxes are checked.

Don’t stop talking about the Epstein Files. I feel like the tides are about to shift over this. Let’s hope it happens soon. Epstein isn’t going away.

Donald Trump is in the Epstein Files and everyone knows it.

Making people feel they need to carry citizenship papers.

Invading our state with military troops.

Sending in war helicopters in the middle of the night.

Arresting elected officials asking questions.

His masked agents already are grabbing people off the street.

Separating children from their parents.

Creating fear.

Taking people for “how they look.”

What else is left on the path to full-blown authoritarianism?

Never in the history of our great country has another President threatened to jail a Governor for disagreeing with him. I stand with Governor Pritzker and hope all Americans do as well. This is authoritarian insanity.

Donald Trump’s not fighting crime, he’s abusing power to attack opponents.
