For the last month, I've been posting examples of Trump's authoritarianism that I call "Dictator Move of the Day." If you search that phrase, you'll see that the fascist president is constantly trying to undermine our democracy.
I'm going to keep doing these posts. We've got to stop him.
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.

Trump pardoned a foreign billionaire indicted for bribery.
Months earlier, the billionaire’s daughter donated $1.5M to Trump’s super PAC and pledged $2.5M to his ballroom project.

Mohamed al-Fayed, the late owner of Harrods department store, engaged over many years in widespread trafficking of dozens of women with whom he had sex, investigators told British lawmakers.
It's as if he is TRYING to lose the midterms.
With historically low approval ratings, it would be wise to avoid the press altogether.
Instead, he gives TIME magazine this bonkers, unhinged & l-e-n-g-t-h-y stream-of consciousness interview, pathologically lying throughout. shorturl.at/PMvVB
I went to the grand reopening of the African American Civil War museum this week and the timing is just right — its mission to preserve Black history is more relevant now than ever

The president tried covering his own event on YouTube & you couldn't hear a word
That's what you get when you ban Politico & CNN & the whole pool, even Fox, walks
A trampling of the First Amendment. But the courts WILL stop it

With 50 days until the midterms, I urge you all to:
1) Help get out the vote.
2) Protect our electoral machinery from interference.
3) Not succumb to complacency, defeatism, or cynicism.
We are the only ones who can end this nightmare.
We are the leaders we’ve been waiting for.
In the past, the rich used to pay higher taxes.
Now, the government pays the rich interest on a swelling debt, caused largely by lower taxes on the rich.
