The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands it now deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Thomas Paine

2. Details in today's Popular Information:

1. Not sure when a new, on-the-record rape allegation against a sitting president isn’t considered news — especially considering Trump was found liable by a jury in a similar case — but it was ignored by most mainstream media outlets

Kudos to TIME for getting it right time.com/article/2026...

i am inviting anyone from a legacy media organization to explain to me why the house judiciary dems report on trump’s epstein’s ties and multiple allegations of rape isn’t worthy of extensively reporting on. i’m serious. i want to understand.

You’ve got to remember, this guy has exactly zero principles. His entire life is about obtaining more power for himself. There is no line he will not cross and he proves it every chance he gets.

Nobody motivates an electorate more than DJT. Both for and against!

Ukraine was winning the war, so Trump kneecapped Ukraine to help Russia. I wish it weren’t that simple, but it is. Our president is in bed with our enemies.

Bless Dr. Abdul El-Sayed for absolutely DESTROYING this bigot.

She done lost her damn mind.

Looks like Trump’s new “steel plant” in IA, announced to shore up support in midterms from people his policies have crushed, where he said construction has already begun, is nowhere close to happening and contingent on Iowans giving tax breaks & incentives to a company in India.

Two Schmitt staffers realizing this might be their last day.

Can't recall ever seeing anything quite like this during a Congressional hearing. And I've been in and around politics for 50 years.

Jack Smith: "Our investigation developed proof beyond a reasonable doubt that President Trump engaged in serious crimes against our nation ... rather than accept his defeat in the 2020 election, he engaged in a criminal scheme to overturn the results and prevent the lawful transfer of power"

The Independent has a photo of the slide we weren't able to see during the Smith hearing. No texts from Smith in it.

Ted Cruz: “You signed subpoenas like you signed Denny’s menus.” What the fuck does that even mean?

this gaffe should follow Eric Schmitt around for the rest of his political life (Jack Smith was actually in Maryland at a HAWKEYES game, not in Atlanta colluding with Fani Willis as Schmitt alleged) (Win McNamee/Getty)

Jack Smith: “it’s inconceivable to me how you can pardon people who beat police officers… and then vilify the officers”

When Biden tripped, the media replayed it, analyzed it, and talked about it for months. When Trump falls asleep in the Oval Office every day, networks don’t even cover it. It’s only on social media. Same presidency, very different media coverage.

Vaccines were once so uncontroversial that McDonald’s restaurants put the childhood immunization schedule on their tray liners. Now, as the U.S. government sows doubt, preventable diseases could come roaring back. (Published March)

Of Course, We Know Their Game...

🚨🚨 NEW IOWA POLL SHOWS JOSH TUREK IN THE LEAD IN THE SENATE RACE: #IASen Josh Turek 47% Ashley Hinson 43% Rob Sand 51% Zach Lahn 41% TRUMP IS UNDERWATER IN IOWA 57% of voters in Iowa disapprove of Trump 41% approve of Trump d3nkl3psvxxpe9.cloudfront.net/documents/io...

Is “The House” ok?

Where is the U.S. investigation? Release the Epstein files! Prosecute the abusers!

JD Vance REALLY THINKS he's going to Heaven. Hopefully Jesus and I have cleared things up for him.

TODAY’S CHALLENGE: Which of these men do *not* appear in the Epstein files? (ANSWER: It’s a trick question. They ALL do.)

Hasan Piker isn't part of the Abdul El-Sayed campaign. Lorenzo Sewell is a member of the Mike Rogers campaign. And he's a proper extremist and bigot who the media isn't covering. I brought receipts in the Guardian today: www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Justice Department withheld thirty-seven pages of FBI notes from interviews with a South Carolina woman who told agents that Donald Trump orally raped her at 13 to 15. #opdeatheaters www.yacnews.com/doj-withhold...

Trump is reducing the price of Steak Substitute™️ and Beef Substitute®️ by over 600%.

@zachlahn.bsky.social Why do you continue to air an ad provably false claiming @robsandia.bsky.social is a billionaire? This is a lie! If you can’t be honest while campaigning, you certainly won’t be honest if elected!

Welp — we’ll let Republican Rep. Massie handle this one 👀

@iowapublicradio.org, @iowacapitaldispatch.com, @iowastartingline.com Why is the Zach Lahn commercial falsely accusing @robsandia.bsky.social of being a billionaire still on the air? Blatant lie! Pretty rich from a guy flying private from his home in Kansas to campaign for governor in Iowa!

You can’t talk about debt without talking about how we got into a bad predicament, and there’s only one correct answer: tax cuts enacted this century

Leaving aside the accounting incompetence on display here, on Congress has the power to impose those tariffs, as SCOTUS affirmed. So Bessent not only wants to steal your money, he also wants to ignore the Constitution.

This is low-key one of the most insane things any Trump administration official has ever said.

If the president votes by mail, then EVERY CITIZEN should be able to vote by mail.

Rep. (Speaker?) @rokhanna.bsky.social responds to @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social saying he doesn’t 🤔support Medicare For All — “Medicare For All is arguably the most important priority.” #MedicareForAllNOW

Another Christian conservative. This keeps happening.

I'm going to KEEP talking about how Senator Rick Scott, the RICHEST man in all of Congress, DEFRAUDED Medicare & is trying to CUT Social Security. Will you join me?🤚

Nothing more radical than an election denier!

He was sitting on his sofa in Florida while recording this. VOTE 💙💙 @abdulelsayed.bsky.social

Once more Cassidy had the deciding vote. Once more he folded.
