Remember when Donald Trump hesitated about releasing the Epstein files in an interview: “There’s phony stuff in there.” He was surely referring to the fact that his name appears in the files 1,000,000 times.

TRICKLE UP!!!💯💯🤬🤬🤬💯💯 tRumpstein's budget chief Russell Vought reportedly DIVERTED MILLIONS OF DOLLARS EARMARKED FOR USAID!!! THE FEDERAL AGENCY THAT ONCE PROVIDED GLOBAL HUMANITARIAN AND ECONOMIC AID 😪 IN ORDER TO PAY FOR HIS SECURITY DETAIL!!! 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

“Raskin also said that he saw ‘references to 17-year-old girls, 16-year-old girls, 14-year-old girls, 11-year-old girls, 10-year-old girls, and I saw a reference today to a 9-year-old girl. So it is a really gruesome and grim story.’“ www.nbcnews.com/politics/tru...

Family and advocates are seeking answers after 32-year-old Dametria McDile died in City Justice Center, one of at least 22 deaths there since 2020. Lawmakers are pushing for greater oversight and reforms.

This is the ad that Fox News does NOT want you to see. Fox News rejected our newest ad, which demonstrates that Trump has “gone too far” with ICE. But we will not remain silent in the face of these attacks. Share our ad and follow @usjewishdems.bsky.social to join us in the fight.

🚨 EXCLUSIVE: Our investigation finds that Trump's actions in Venezuela and Greenland are the product of a long-running Russian influence campaign that began during his first term. Read + share the complete report. america2.news/the-russian-...

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition. Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

When the US welcomed a foreigner.

"Four hours after his arrest, he was taken to a hospital emergency room in Edina with swelling and bruising around his right eye and bleeding. A CT scan revealed at least eight skull fractures and life-threatening hemorrhages in at least five areas of his brain..." apnews.com/article/immi...

Dump claimed he didn’t have Epstein killed. Why would he offer that comment? Humm

🚨 Pritzker: The monsters responsible for unleashing this havoc on American cities, whether they were firing at civilians in the streets or calling the shots from their cushy offices in Washington, need to be investigated and prosecuted.

Talking to @stuartpstevens.bsky.social about why we need more political division and must embrace this fight against MAGA fascism instead of coddling them. thelefthook.substack.com

In between all the fascism, it's also a MASSIVE crime wave.

Ian Austin, an Army veteran, was arrested for protesting ICE in Minneapolis. But he’s continued protesting. Senior reporter @julialurie.bsky.social spoke to him. “When they say, ‘Why would you be out here?’ How the fuck could I not be out here?” he says. “My nation is under attack."

This is a balanced and mature Call of the Wilde from @bwildemtl.bsky.social. It’s been a while, so here is Lori Answers the Call ☎️. #GoHabsGo 🧵

Van Hollen: "They really think the American people are stupid. I mean, we can all see the video. We saw the video with Renee Good. We saw the video with Alex Pretti. The real domestic terrorists are in the White House right now."

The people who spent years defending and even lionizing Kyle Rittenhouse and Ashli Babbitt now want us to believe that an unarmed mother in her car and a disarmed nurse were domestic terrorists who deserved to be murdered by law enforcement.

Walz: "To Americans who are watching this, I've got a question for you: What side do you want to be on? The side of an all powerful federal govt that can kill, injury, menace, & kidnap its citizens off the streets? Or on the side of a nurse at the VA hospital who died bearing witness to such govt?"

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

Sam and Adrian were terrific this morning both on what happened yesterday and on the possible significance of this moment. www.youtube.com/live/wiZlogl...

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

Reminder: The Epstein files aren’t delayed. A law is being broken. We’re still missing 99%.

Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey: "To everyone listening: Stand with Minneapolis. Stand up for America."

In the off chance that people were still wondering why Donald Trump is attacking Jack Smith on social media, this should pretty much clear things up: If the stolen documents or election interference cases ever went to trial, there was ample evidence to prove that Trump is GUILTY GUILTY GUILTY

1/20/26 Watch this before telling healthcare workers to stay quiet. ICE presence inside hospitals puts patients, clinicians, and entire communities at risk. When people are afraid to seek care, health outcomes worsen, and lives are endangered. Civil rights violations in hospitals affect all of us.

I flew down to south Texas today to do my job - investigate why people are dying in ICE detention centers. I was just illegally denied entry to Dilley Detention Center. Because they have something to hide.

Still waiting for those Epstein files to be released

"The notion that Donald Trump claims this is somehow making the country safer is absurd. It’s making the country more dangerous… The domestic terrorists are ICE!"

"I will not be f*cking gaslit by these people. I will not calm down the rhetoric and tone it down....Jonathan Ross murdered her." @timmiller.bsky.social on the new footage of the Renee Good shooting:

The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension said Thursday it was told the FBI is now in sole control of the investigation around the killing of a woman in Minneapolis Wednesday by an ICE agent. The BCA has been denied access to evidence.

X basically industrialized the creation of fake porn of women who don't consent. Others did it first, but Grok made it normalized and centralized: publicly visible, instantly creatable by anyone, regardless of who's being targeted and dehumanized. Only question now is will X suffer any consequences

Walz: "If they have emails showing that I have committed fraud, you should get those! Why aren't they putting them out there? Why aren't they turning them over to prosecutors? Right now they're hiding behind a veil of innuendo. They're protecting the biggest fraudster in the White House."

Trump regime launched a bogus website about January 6th today. It is just amazing how these people live in an alternate reality. I don’t care how many websites they make. I know what I watched in real time.

Eva Schloss, an Auschwitz survivor who dedicated her life to speaking out against prejudice and to preserving the legacy of her stepsister, Anne Frank, died on Saturday in London at 96. trib.al/NZEPlL6

The Epstein files must be epic for him to start unnecessary wars. Don’t get distracted.

Under President Trump, the GOP & the Justice Department have tried to erase or change history, deleting a database of charges & convictions for assaulting police & seditious conspiracy. @npr.org tracked every prosecution in a database & published an account of the riot for us to access, & remember.

Venezuela now sells oil to India and China—both BRICS nations that just launched a new payment system threatening the petrodollar. If oil trades in their digital currency instead of dollars, we lose the ability to fund trillion-dollar deficits. Watch the full video: youtu.be/bY5f_VQhy84
