Slingshot News: Trump delusionally claimed that people want to move on from the Epstein files. "I thought this was finished... a lot of people are very angry that this continues."

Nope, we're not finished.

And the lies just keep rolling out. Now claiming a “million more documents” have suddenly been discovered, the DOJ warns it’ll take weeks to turn over everything.

I connect the document dots & track the lies back to Jan of 2025, proving the obstruction is the point.

Be reminded. We have a rapist in the WH. All those in Congress, his Cabinet, & the DOJ who attempt to cover his crimes is complicit. They all deserve consequences. And, most importantly, the survivors deserve justice.

Phang: If that happened in January, how in the actual hell is Blanche now telling the American people that they suddenly discovered a million more documents?

GTFOH. As far back as January, the entirety of the Epstein files were transferred to Main Justice at DOJ…

I’m old enough to remember when CBS News would never have surrendered to a demagogic president or any other politician. Remember Edward R. Murrow?

From 2018 to 2024, the tax rate paid by eight major retailers was slashed from 30% to just 17.5%.

The CEOs of those major retailers were paid a collective $1.3 billion.

Meanwhile, the average worker at those stores was paid less than $32,000 in 2024.

Nothing trickled down.

Bill Clinton just called on Trump to release the full Epstein Files, including all documents mentioning both Trump and Clinton.

“Refusal to do so will confirm the widespread suspicion the DOJ’s actions to date are not about transparency, but about insinuation.”

Today, Trump declared that the nation will host the first-ever “Patriot Games,” an “unprecedented four-day athletic event” featuring high school athletes, one boy and one girl, from each state and territory.

If you think this sounds like The Hunger Games, you're not alone.
Trump just announced his own Hunger Games
In case you needed a reminder that we're living in a fascist hellscape.

NEW: Without USAID funding to help buy food for refugees, the World Food Program rushed to prioritize families based on need, determining that only half the population would get food.

Refugees learned which half they were in from a number stamped on the back of their ration card.

FYI, this booing is because the GOP passed a procedural vote on the GOP "health plan" (which doesn't include ACA subsidies) and they iced out Dan Goldman's no vote because he was late. The ACA discharge petition vote won't happen until 2026 because there's a 7-day waiting period once you hit 218.

Urgent update.

Our bipartisan petition to force a vote on a straightforward extension of the Affordable Care Act tax credits now has 218 signatures.

Mike Johnson should bring the bill to the floor immediately.

Massive defeat for Mike Johnson. Still has to clear the senate, but this is what Dems wanted all along. Johnson has essentially lost control of the gavel after Epstein and now this. Weakest speaker in history.

ICE is going after people who commit fewer crimes than U.S. born citizens. They're robbing people, hurting people, using racial profiling, violating due process, hurting children, and going after American citizens while they do. This is an illegal criminal enterprise from head to toe.

Rep Jim McGovern (D-MA) is a national treasure!! Watch as he drops receipt after receipt about how Trump promised us a great, phenomenal, tremendous new health care plan and has delivered nothing. Premiums are about to skyrocket and Americans are sick and tired of it!!🔥💥🔥

218 members signed the discharge petition to force a vote to extend ACA tax credits.

If Speaker Johnson refuses to bring forth the vote, he’s telling the American people loud and clear that rising health care costs are acceptable to him.
