“For instance, media reports suggest that groups are spending significant amounts of money on paid influencers. These payments are easy to hide on campaign finance reports and the influencers themselves do not have to disclose who is paying them.”

Per a new report from House Democrats, Trump's DOJ is withholding evidence of his ties to Epstein and slow-walking the complete release of the Epstein files. It's time to end the cover-up and expose the truth. Remember this when you cast your ballot. www.ms.now/news/house-j...

A message from the Heavenly Father: “For my people are foolish; they know me not; they are stupid children; they have no understanding. They are ‘wise’—in doing evil! But how to do good they know not.” ~ Jeremiah 4:22

Justice for victims! Release the full and unredacted Epstein files! Arrest and prosecute the offenders! Justice for victims! #epsteinfiles

The Catholic Church is naming names. Why won't the Trump DOJ? substack.com/@katiephang/...

House Judiciary Democrats have released a 50-page report examining Trump's ties to Jeffrey Epstein, including accounts involving 11 women and a new rape allegation that the White House denies. With just 8 days until the midterms, the report is raising explosive new questions.

The allegations against Donald Trump for sexual assault seem to have a common denominator: He is physically violent and intentionally inflicts pain on his victims. He likes to slam women and girls up against doors and walls as he roughly manhandles them. Donald Trump is a sick and twisted person.

EXCLUSIVE: “It was patronizing.” That’s how one survivor described the closed-door meeting with Todd Blanche. I spoke to survivors who were in the room, participants who joined remotely, and others with direct knowledge to reconstruct what happened during the 90-minute meeting inside the DOJ.

“Mattress Girl” was my Jane Doe when I broke her story in 2013. She decided to come forward with her name and tell the world. 13 years later we reconnected and she told me she’s still paying for it. The Jane Doe in the Cornell 7 case had that anonymity ripped from her last week.

Bondi. Noem. Guilfoyle. Every Trump official pushed out this term has been a woman, and Hegseth, Lutnick and Patel are still standing. Is Susie Wiles next? @ChrisWhipple, who wrote the book on chiefs of staff, joins me on Trump’s coming post-midterm purge.

🚨 Gov. Josh Shapiro rips into JD Vance in a new interview. “The only smart thing it seems like [Trump] did was not endorsing Vance. That guy is just a profoundly and PATHETICALLY WEAK human being who wants to preach morality every day.”

I noticed Bec Griffin’s posts have no attention here on Bluesky and I’m not sure why exactly that is? It looks like she is doing some good journalism on important topics like human trafficking. Maybe people just have not heard of her work?

“After a two-year investigation, Argentinian federal prosecutors have taken on their case, accusing senior leaders of Opus Dei in South America of overseeing the exploitation and trafficking of girls, adolescents and women between 1972 and 2015.” www.theguardian.com/global-devel...

“There’s no mild way to put this, so let’s say it: Josemaria Escriva was a Fascist, a cult-leader and a willing puppet of the Franco dictatorship. Opus Dei is an extremist (some would say sinister) organisation. Unquestionably, it has a right-wing agenda.” www.theolivepress.es/spain-news/2...

“critics say Opus Dei seeks to influence the powerful and wealthy in order to increase its own access to the levers of power within the church and society. This blending of faith and political lobbying has been particularly strong in the United States and Spain.” www.ncronline.org/culture/book...

Although accused of elitism, secrecy, and cultlike practices, the organization remained popular, and Escrivá moved rapidly toward sainthood. After one of the shortest waiting periods in papal history (27 years), Escrivá was canonized by Pope John Paul II in 2002. www.britannica.com/biography/St...

This has been devastating for this small town in Texas, and the other towns in the area watching this happen.

In August, President Trump announced he had signed the “biggest oil deal in world history.” ProPublica reviewed the deal and found it gives a small group of people largely handpicked by the Trump administration long-term control of the enterprise.

“Opus Dei is an international lay Catholic group whose core ideal is the sanctification of work. But critics and some former members have accused the group of having cult-like practices and promoting a right-wing agenda.” www.npr.org/2005/11/28/5...
