Trump didn’t just know Epstein. He attended the parties repeatedly. Repeatedly. At the very least, he knew what was going on. Release the Epstein files.

If you are wondering why Susie Wiles gave Vanity Fair unfettered access and the inside scoop on the chaos in the White House, you only needed to watch Trump’s latest bizarro-world press conference. Just like MTG, wily Susie Wiles is maneuvering. 1nadinesmith.substack.com/p/wiley-susi...

Walmart, who on your staff will be pretending they didn’t understand what was wrong with this image?

Sick coal miners deep in Trump country fight back, saying they are being suffocated by government policies aimed at helping industry while stripping away worker health and safety regulations written in blood over decades.

Imagine just not showing up to work but expecting to get paid and keep the job.

The Gilded Age collapsed under its own corruption. A backlash is building, but ending this administration is not enough. We need a vision for the future, not a return to some imagined past, but a future that builds prosperity, safety, and hope for all of us, not just the people in the ballroom.

Chicagoans are rightly furious about what ICE is doing here as it tries to sow chaos in this otherwise peaceful city.

Trump is once again using the White House as a personal piggy bank. trib.al/dmMVJFY A Florida-based drone manufacturer, which Don Trump Jr. joined as an adviser in November 2024 (around when his father was elected president), just received its largest-ever contract to supply parts to the Pentagon.

Defending public education is about defending democracy. Classrooms are where our kids learn critical thinking and collaboration—essential tools to being engaged citizens. My full conversation about "Why Fascists Fear Teachers" with @nadinesmith.bsky.social below. www.wmnf.org/wide-awake-a...

A man who worships himself will eventually demand a temple. When democracy grows weak, a vain man will always try to crown himself. The next President should pledge to dismantle this monument to vanity and turn the White House into what it ought to be, a home for a servant of the people.

They said Red America would stay silent. Then it roared. Millions rose in peaceful rebellion from small towns and city streets to defend democracy and reclaim their power. Read the story of a nation awake and unafraid. #NoKings 👉 open.substack.com/pub/demcastu...

Trump is bailing out Argentina with $40 billion while leaving American farmers twisting in the wind. At this point, it’s obvious he doesn’t want them to succeed. I’m calling it now: this is going to turn into a land grab for pennies on the dollar.
