🚨 A bombshell new House Judiciary Democrats report details allegations from 11 women linking Trump to Jeffrey Epstein, including five who accuse Trump of sexual assault. The report also alleges a sweeping DOJ cover-up. We broke down the explosive findings.
There are ways out, America, and some of them are really fun! #meidastouch #booksky #firehoseoftruth @meidastouch.com

"As a Man Of God, I'm shocked that I'm bleeding after blindly jamming my hand into The Box of Sharp Pointy Things."
Christopher Hale: Archbishop Jeffrey Grob of Milwaukee apologized on Sunday for praying over President Trump in the Oval Office last week, and he accused the White House of posting video of the prayer without the bishops’ consent
If the Bishops did not anticipate at this point that this craven and blasphemous administration would manipulate their sacred prayer, then they are incredibly naive or ignorant: www.ncronline.org/news/milwauk...

Revelations about WH's involvement in Epstein memo in files pried loose by @democracydefendersfund.org lawsuit Trump was briefed his name was in the files--Weeks later his deputy chief of staff was editing the DOJ-FBI memo that declared the matter closed Patel sent the draft: "Here you go"👇 -TN

🚨 EXCLUSIVE: MeidasTouch obtained NEVER-BEFORE-SEEN photos and videos revealing devastating damage to U.S. bases from Trump's Iran war. Troops and military families describe being abandoned by their own government. “It’s so much worse than people realize.”

As someone who publicly came out against Trump 8yrs ago, and ended my career as a Republican by doing so, and have endured hate & threats from the MAGA base these past 8yrs, I have zero sympathy for, and utter disdain for, all 3 of these groups of cowardly former Republican colleagues of mine.👇
BREAKING: A GOP senator asked for anonymity to reveal that "everyone in Congress knows Trump's second term is a disaster," but 1/3 of Republicans are grifting his supporters, 1/3 are afraid of Trump ending their careers, and 1/3 are afraid his cult is a danger to their families.

This is incredible @abdulelsayed.bsky.social not just b/c it’s a principled defense of American pluralism, not just because Abdul trounced him. It’s deeper b/c Abdul chose not to dismiss, perform outrage, avoid the uncomfortable, but to engage him as an equal and to struggle for what’s right.
This is Tommy. Tommy had a question about my allegiances. Listen to the end to hear about his.

Now what we need is severe punishment, so that it never happens again and so that we can believe in our government again. Elected Dems better be ready…
As we approach the midterms, voters are grasping the reality of the sickening scale of corruption by Trump and his so-called government—and they’re mad as hell about it. A whopping 88 percent of voters polled said they are extremely or very concerned about it. open.substack.com/pub/america/...
Some of us have been saying this since 2016….
It’s been really amazing this past week to watch so many people FINALLY waking up to the fact that Trump is on Putin’s side, that Trump is actively trying to help Putin win the war, that Trump is a Russian asset. It’s ALWAYS been the case, but I’m glad people finally get it.

😬 Katie Zacharia's first press briefing was brutally bad 😬 Trump managed to find a press secretary who can barely read, but she does have the number one qualification -- looking like Ivanka Here's a supercut from Zacharia's first briefing, which made Karoline Leavitt seem like Ronald Reagan
Oh my, we are at scraping the very bottom of the talent barrel stage of this authoritarian rule by vacuous sycophants. This is just painful for our country.

Utterly clueless Axelrod et al. going after @abdulelsayed.bsky.social @troyjackson207.bsky.social @ossoff.bsky.social on “aggressive” debating. Wrong era. Total oblivious it’s not about left, progessive, center. It’s about fighters; we need fighters to save this democracy and these folks are it.
Impeachment now. “If Congress refuses to utilize its explicit constitutional powers of removal, the piece warns, it establishes a dangerous modern precedent: that the foundational rules of American democracy are completely non-enforceable.” www.alternet.org/trump-impeac...
