This Jack Smith deposition makes one thing abundantly clear:
If Donald Trump wasn’t re-elected, he’d be spending the rest of his life in prison.
And he should be.

DOJ broke the law today by refusing to produce all the Epstein files. It also broke the law by redacting information other than to protect victims. Yet, the corporate media is acting that DOJ did us a huge favor.

We all need to fight Trump's plan for voter suppression and election subversion. We need to recognize that it has multiple dimensions. We need to educate ourselves and our communities and then take action.

Trump ordered a show of force on Oct 18th, directing the military to fire rockets over a California highway to intimidate US civilians. A rocket malfunctioned & detonated, damaging JD Vance’s security detail. Governor @gavinnewsom.bsky.social's decision to close the highway saved lives.

I am sounding the alarm that the GOP is engaged in an all out attack voting rights and free and fair elections. Voter suppression, gerrymandering, and troops in blue cities are just some of the ways they are using to try to rig the rules to keep power in 2026 and beyond.

Spencer Kuvin, Epstein's victims' lawyer, says the FBI interviewed 40+ girls, some just 14, and prepared a 54-count indictment. Then came the secret plea deal that let Epstein walk. Those interviews are in the files. Kuvin says Alan Dershowitz scoured the girls' MySpace pages to smear them as liars.

She says neither she nor other survivors have heard a word from the DOJ.

Dems should fight on every front.
If Texas steals 5 seats, Dem states should redistrict 30 GOP members out of their districts.
We should insist DOJ release the entire Epstein File.
Not only shouldn't we bring knives to a gun fight, if they bring pistols, we should bring machine guns.

BREAKING: Trump says he’s firing the head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics—because he doesn’t like the latest jobs report and revisions showing his cratering economy. The numbers were bad, so naturally, he’s blaming someone else and demanding loyalty over accuracy.
