Here's a direct link to House Dem's Judiciary Cmte report. The executive summary begins: "A growing body of evidence demonstrates that Donald Trump was an active participant in
Jeffrey Epstein’s sexual abuse of young women during the mid-to-late 1990s." democrats-judiciary.house.gov/sites/evo-su...
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...
Flávio Bolsonaro had his passport confiscated by the Brazilian fed police as his brother Eduardo told him to flee to the US.
He is tied to paramilitary gangs, is being investigated & lost his legislative immunity when he left the Senate to run for president.

Pretty grim footnote to West's career that he ended up serving the richest man in the world's successful attempt to restore white nationalism to the US government.

NEW: "Donald Trump was an active participant in Jeffrey Epstein’s sexual abuse of young women during the mid-to-late 1990s," per new House Judiciary Dem report.
Report has new allegation that Trump raped a 24-year-old and then promised the victim a visa & NYU admission, demanding she stay quiet.
"Ingram was just rebuilding from a devastating flood when its tiny police department enrolled in ICE’s 287(g) deportation program. Within a year, cops would hand over the equivalent of 10% of the town."
Terrible people.
Kansas Dem Sen. nominee Adam Hamilton on trans rights:
“I don’t think we should take a small group of people and bully them, pick on them, and hurt them. I understand one thing really clearly when it comes to transgender people, and that is Jesus told me I was to love my neighbor as I love myself”
Why wouldn’t he admit it? The Supreme Court immunized this kind of stuff. It’s why Jack Smith had to take the Jeffrey Clark/DOJ/Trump conspiracy out of his Jan 6 indictment.
BRENNAN: The DOJ lawsuit demands the Alaska result not be certified if voters are confused. The confusion is defined as Sen. Sullivan not winning.
BLANCHE: That's not what it says
BRENNAN: I'm quoting from it. You are telling them not to certify it. What right does the federal govt have?
Mike Johnson: "When I'm in these big arenas, I ask for hands -- 'Show me your hand if you've answered a poll in the last six months.' There will be like three hands among 300 people. I'm telling you, these polls are off. All of them."
Bash: "We could be in a situation where President Trump tries to overturn the election."
Blanche: "You got to stop it with that. You are not a real person "
Bash: "If you're laying the groundwork for the president to try to overturn an election…"
In his new book (of course), Senator Thom Tillis says that top NC Republican leaders together told him directly that Trump's "One Big Beautiful Bill" would cost North Carolina almost $2 billion per year, every year, for a decade.

NEW: Blanche claims DOJ's Alaska lawsuit doesn't seek to block certification of the state's election results. The actual complaint says it does.
His attempt to reframe the lawsuit is a bid to push back against how it's been correctly interpreted: a dangerous effort to subvert the midterms.
Well, well, well….
An analysis of voter registration records reveals Republican operative Scott Presler had 3 out-of-state voters use his Pennsylvania address to vote in the 2024 election.
This is what voter fraud looks like.
WSJ: "Polls show that government corruption has shot to the top of voters' concerns."
Trump: "Democrats are corrupt…Who do you write for? You guys are worse than anybody…You ought to look at the real corruption, it's Democrat corruption. And that includes Jeffrey Epstein—all Democrats involved."
This is literally the end of the rule of law.
If a President can pardon people committing crimes on his behalf - and the Supreme Court says he himself can't be prosecuted for crimes committed as part of his job - then the government becomes a lawless entity able to violate our rights without limit.
New: White House attorneys are evaluating whether to issue mass pardons to junior staffers.
https://www.washingtonsun.com/whitehouse/white-house-weighing-mass-pardons-for-junior-staff
“Several conservative organizations …— including the Heritage Foundation and American Moment — have pressed White House counsel to either prepare pardons or put in place funding for the legal fees necessary to defend junior staffers from criminal and congressional probes or potential lawsuits.”
President Donald Trump blurted out Friday that he personally ordered the Justice Department to sue Alaska, so he can block the certification of Alaska’s Senate race if Republican candidate Sen. Dan S. Sullivan loses.
HOLY SHIT. In a sworn statement yesterday, an ICE agent told a federal judge that an ICE flight to Equatorial Guinea had been cancelled and so couldn't be used to bring Ahmed Soliman back to the United States.
The plane just landed in Equatorial Guinea.

BREAKING:
The Trump Justice Department has moved to preemptively block certification of the results of Alaska's Senate race if Republican incumbent Sen. Dan S. Sullivan loses.
Total respect for NBC's Monica Alba, who asked Trump exactly the question he needs to answer. By refusing to answer, and attacking her, he has effectively told the world that no, sexual abuse allegations do no mean a thing to him. Imagine if she wasn't there. We'd be the poorer for it.
😳
WOMAN REPORTER: Do sexual abuse allegations mean nothing to you, sir?
TRUMP: Wait. Wait! Wait wait wait. Slow down. Who are you with?
REPORTER: NBC, sir. But they are very serious sex abuse allegations
TRUMP: Quiet! Isn't she a fresh person? You're a horrible little reporter, aren't you?
NEW: Attorney General Todd Blanche said the Department of Justice is looking into launching more California-style lawsuits to block “a number of states” from counting ballots for the midterm election.
Under the Constitution, states — not the president — run elections, including counting ballots.
Today marks 2 years since I started HRT. 2 years since Ken Paxton and the rest of the Texas GOP lost the control they had over my life and I was finally allowed to be myself.
I’m proud to say that I voted against my attempted killer today.
Fuck you, Ken.
I’m a Texan trans kid who almost died because of Ken Paxton. The world should know what he’s done.
This was very difficult for me to write, but given what's at stake, I cannot bear to stay silent about what I went through at Paxton's hands.
He must not be rewarded for what he's done to trans kids.

AOC: "What the Trump administration is doing in targeting trans people is to get everyone on board with supporting defunding their own civil rights ... understand that when they attack trans girls in sports, they're also attacking all women's ability to stand up against their abusers"
Trump: "Ramaswamy put up a very powerful Ad about a mother saying that her daughter, Acton, is a liar, and much worse. The Press is trying to get him to 'take down the Ad.' Frankly, anybody whose mother spoke about daughter that way would normally lead to the daughter being precluded from serving"
NBC: I just saw a report that said you were asking your supporters for gas money for your bus? I mean, is that how bad things are?
ASHLEY HINSON: No. I'm out there -- uh -- campaigning through the state, um, on my bus. What I'm hearing from Iowans is they want a leader, a common sense mom.
Ramaswamy has produced an attack ad weaponizing the rape of his opponent, Amy Acton, when she was 12 years old. It features Acton’s mother, who abandoned Acton after she was raped by her step-father, fleeing the state with her husband.
Here is the corporate money helping fund that ad.
