#releasetheepsteinfiles Believe the victims and prosecute the abusers, whoever they are!

A federal judge rejected the DOJ's effort to unseal grand jury transcripts and exhibits in the Epstein case. He wrote that the government itself is the “logical party” to make the Epstein files public and criticized its motion as a “diversion” tactic.

Bad ass act of resistance!

A Yosemite National Park ranger has been fired, and others could still face charges, after a massive transgender pride flag was hung from El Capitan earlier this year. Shannon “SJ” Joslin, a bat biologist, received a termination letter last week citing “unacceptable conduct.”

What the actual f&@$ is going on in Texas???

Eight House Democratic members will be forced back onto the floor tonight after publicly tearing up the Republican-mandated “permission slips” required to leave the chamber. They will remain there, held against their will.

North Carolina Republicans have introduced a bill that could ban election officials from encouraging voter turnout. If passed, that means: ❌ No voter education from election offices ❌ No public outreach to boost participation ❌ No PSAs reminding people to cast a ballot

Wow….just covering up all around…collusion between the DOJ and the White House to protect him.

BREAKING President Trump's Justice Department and FBI have concluded they have no evidence that convicted sex offender and disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein blackmailed powerful figures, kept a "client list" or was murdered. Full Story: bit.ly/3Tm9Hdk

Dismantling these departments that warn us about the weather is in Project 2025, and the core reason is they say these departments (RIGHTLY) drive “climate chang alarmism”, which “is harmful to future prosperity” (aka BIG OIL PROFITS)

If the Senate's budget is enacted, millions will lose health insurance, millions will fall into poverty, and the national debt will increase by $3.3T. All of this to provide a major tax cut mainly to the rich and big corporations. There is no justification for this.

What????

Miami just canceled its November election & pushed it to 2026. No public vote, just canceled. Mayor Suarez & Joe Carollo get to stick around an extra year. This feels like a power grab. If one city can delay elections for “participation,” what’s to stop others from doing it to silence opposition?

Act of war but where is congressional approval? Anyone? He thinks you drop a bunch of bombs and it’s all done! Nah…he and Netanyahu have just kicked the hornet’s nest. All to distract from both of their various idiotic issues that they’re dealing with.

A Democratic Mayor arrested. A Democratic Congresswoman indicted. A Democratic Senator tackled and detained. A Democratic State Representative killed. A Democratic State Representative in critical condition. We can all see where this is going.

Nothing Free Speech about this. Only fear and intimidation because TFG is so fucking insecure!

CNN’s Jason Carroll was zip-tied and escorted away—for reporting the news. But they claimed he wasn’t under arrest? Why are they shooting rubber bullets at and silencing journalists? We still have a First Amendment.

When President Johnson activated the Nat'l Guard in Alabama in 1965 over Gov. Wallace's objection he did it to protect protesters advocating for voting rights for Black people who had previously met violence at the hands of state troopers. Very different situation.

Hell yes, Air Force Veteran Gina Ortiz Jones has defeated her MAGA Republican opponent and has been elected the next Mayor of San Antonio, making history as the city’s first openly LGBTQ+ mayor. Love this. 💙👊🏳️‍🌈

Are we clear now a private businessman shouldn’t be in a position to control the space program—that this richest man in the world fueled by drugs, ego & hate shouldn’t be partnering with a malignant sociopath in the WH immunized by the SCOTUS & bent on pocketing billions & flouting the Constitution?

I think we’ve reached a boiling point when it comes to ICE. Today in Minneapolis, a militarized task force raided the beloved Lake Street taqueria, Las Cuatro Milpas—and the community was not having it. Agents from ICE, the DEA, FBI, ATF, IRS and HHS rolled up looking like they were ready for war.

Unbelievably horrified by this attack in Boulder. We don’t know the full story of the attacker, but no matter what it is, let me be clear: Senseless, antisemitic attacks do not help Palestinians, Jews, or Israelis. Committing terror attacks against people standing for hostages is disgusting.

Please read, this is important. Sorry it’s long. Trump’s move to have Elon Musk step aside wasn’t a retreat. It was a distraction. With Musk’s name out of the headlines, many assumed the controversial Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) had quietly ended. It hasn’t. It’s just changed hands.

RFK Jr. is reportedly going to forbid government scientists from publishing in the world’s most respected medical journals — the Lancet, The New England Journal of Medicine, JAMA, etc. It’s going to take decades to repair the damage done by this administration.

A viral post is spreading fear on all platforms, supposedly from Liz and Me, about a nonexistent bill—just like the far right used to do. We cannot become what we’re fighting. The truth still matters. We win by being better, not louder. adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/dont-fight...
