Trump is the leader of Epstein Class

Ron Filipkowski@ronfilipkowski.bsky.social

Trump doesn’t care about the general public. His only concern is walling off public lands into private enclaves and business opportunities for himself and wealthy cronies.

BREAKING: Our grassroots campaign raised $64 million in Q3 — the most of any Senate campaign in American history. All without taking a dime from corporate PACs. Our people-powered movement is going to change this broken, corrupt political system.

Ken Paxton voted against a bill making animal abusers pay to treat the animals they hurt. Paxton went on to protect a research lab that tortured 400 puppies.

When you’re applying for the job of U.S. Senator, you should show up for the job interview. Ken Paxton showed up in London on the 4th of July to party with the British. He showed up in Dubai to party with fugitives. He’ll show up anywhere but a debate stage in Texas.

🚨 NEWS: Ken Paxton kept taking money from a longtime political ally accused by at least eight men of sexual abuse, even after the allegations became public. The disturbing ties span more than a decade. Receipts below.

Trump again shows us that he doesn't work for the American people.

🚨 President Trump has cancelled the signing of the largest housing affordability bill in decades unless Congress passes his voter-suppressing SAVE Act.

A proposed rule fueled by Trump’s conspiracy theories would require the USPS to keep a list of voters it believes should be allowed to vote by mail—and give them the power to hold those ballots hostage. Urge them to say NO and help protect voting by mail: act.standupamerica.com/letters/cte-...

Q: What progress have you made in getting America's allies to assist the US in escorting those oil tankers through the Strait of Hormuz? TRUMP: Well, we don't need too much help. We don't need any help, actually. In fact we just put out a notice.

Netanyahu sucks, AIPAC sucks, but "we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby" is just code for "blame Jews." Trump wasn't forced to do this. Trump's supporters—like Kent—weren't forced to elect him and embolden him. They're not absolved of any responsibility.

Wealth inequality has never been so bad. While 60% live paycheck to paycheck, 938 billionaires got $1.5T richer in 2025. Justice Brandeis was right: "We can have democracy in this country, or we can have great wealth concentrated in the hands of a few, but we can't have both."

Nurul Amin Shah Alam was a blind refugee, unable to speak English. DHS improperly detained-but finally released him Instead of bringing him home, they dropped him miles away-without regard to his disability or notifying his family Unable to find his way, he died on the streets of Buffalo Alone

These released Epstein "files" are depraved. The wealthiest & most powerful men among us who could do anything chose to hurt little girls. Hold them accountable! And do you wonder as I do: which of them took over Epstein's network.

Let's ask the question: How many times do the following people show up being named in the Epstein Files: President Joe Biden: 0 President Barack Obama: 0 MN Governor Tim Walz: 0 President Donald Trump: 4,500 Does any Republican not see the problem?

Keith Ellison: "The president is openly promoting authoritarianism and tyranny. That is what's happening in America. Most of us thought we would never see it, but here it is right in front of our eyes."

It's our job & our sacred duty! "They" distracted us into believing that we have no power. We the people are sovereign! It's time we act like it.

There’s one guy in the Epstein files who isn’t talked about enough… Alex Acosta was the U.S. Attorney who gave Epstein that sweetheart deal. It allowed Epstein to avoid federal prosecution for sex trafficking and abuse of minors. He served only 13 months in county jail with work release. 1/2

Congratulations to my friend and our newest State Senator from Tarrant County, Taylor Rehmet! I met Taylor years ago through labor organizing. Don’t tell us what can’t be done in Texas. When we show up #TexasTough, we change the game. Today we proved what we’ve known all along: Texas is in play.

Abott delayed this election to help Johnson pass the disastrous bill that took from we the people & gave to the wealthy. Congrats to Menefee! Houston Democrat Christian Menefee wins special election to complete Sylvester Turner’s term in Congress www.texastribune.org/2026/01/31/c...

Congrats to Rehmet, outspent but not outworked. “Tonight, this win goes to everyday working people,” he said to cheers and chants of his name. Democrat Taylor Rehmet wins solidly red Texas Senate seat in stunning special election upset www.texastribune.org/2026/01/30/t...

ICE and CBP agents seem to enjoy gratuitously breaking glass—from car windows to store fronts to homes. It’s an expression of unchecked power and dominance: “We’re in charge. We break and shatter what we want.” And nights of broken glass have been a harbinger of worse to come.

If this is the same Peter Attia MD who was just revealed as one of Bari Weiss's big new additions to CBS News, he can just tell the stories about the "outrageous" life Jeffrey Epstein led on the Evening News. Think of the ratings!

Dr. Jen Gunter@drjengunter.bsky.social

And Peter Attia MD telling Epstein the biggest problem with being his friend is he can’t tell anyone about the life he lives. Nice.
