We've had enough of cowardice. We're way past the point of strongly worded letters. Every citizen and especially every elected official should be outraged 100% of the time until this regime is gone. Buck up Democrats! Fight!

“The United States” is not its officers. The United States is its *laws*. A republic is “an empire of laws, not men” (John Adams); “in America, the law is king” (Thomas Paine). ICE is an assemblage at war with our fundamental laws; they are at war with the United States. bsky.app/profile/samh...

Think about it. If you violate federal law in order to defraud people of $100 million, you can just give $5 million to Trump in exchange for a pardon, and keep the other $95 million. Not one member of Congress has written up Articles of Impeachment for selling pardons.

of course, they yawn. there are no stakes. nobody is gonna impeach him for it. so the coverup will go on unpunished. boring news gets ignored.

This report is genuinely overwhelming, in terms of the evidence both against Trump and of a ham-fisted cover-up. Including one instance in which Ghislaine Maxwell was actually about to mention one of Trump's young accusers and Todd Blanche told her to stop talking. The media response is "yawn."

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.

Just to be clear... Prop 40 is a ONE-TIME retroactive tax. It applies ONLY to billionaires and would tax just 5% of their wealth — which grew 30% in 2025. California's billionaires would still be worth $2T+ AFTER the tax. The revenue will fund healthcare for millions of Californians. Vote YES.
