I’m sure there are notaries all over the country willing to swear in Adelita Grijalva. Release the Epstein files.

It's going to be a dark day when we finally learn the full extent of Trump's crimes with Epstein. Bracing for the most vile Trump evil yet

Andrea Chalupa @andreachalupa.bsky.social · 56m

Trump has gotten away with violently trying to overthrow the government. Whatever Epstein and his accomplices had on him must be far worse than what we already know and what's in the Epstein files. Trump has gotten away with so much yet he's terrified of Epstein. The truth will come out eventually.

Greg Abbott is a lackey of Donald Trump.

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

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.

The doctor probably told the truth, it was Trump who lied about what he was told, as par for the course.

Is MAGA Mike not going to call Congress back in session until Trump’s term is over and is placed in a home for the mentally incompetent? #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles

When people are hired, not for their honesty or competency, but for their ability to be snarling trolls on TV for the delight of their immature and unpleasant boss, you get an AG like Pamela Jo Bondi.

The only appropriate time when Trump should have invoked the Insurrection Act was on himself for causing one on Jan 6th.

If Trump was playing baseball and struck out, he would refuse to leave the plate, throw dirt at the umpire, demand an appeal, call SCOTUS and wind up being carted off to the looney bin.

Journalist Edward R. Murrow used his platform on CBS to criticize the witch hunts led by Senator Joseph McCarthy in the 1950s.

This is what real journalism should do — hold power to account, not capitulate to it.
