“The Epstein files must be so damaging to Trump that after only releasing a small fraction of them by the legal deadline, they still had to delete some files they had released in way that would be obvious to the public. How much worse are the files they haven’t released?” @ac-californian.bsky.social

“Epstein coerced her into attending 4 parties at Epstein’s home. Trump attended all 4, the woman said. At 2 of them Epstein directed her to have sex with other guests… She feared for her family’s safety after Trump said some of his critics could be executed for sedition.” NYT link: archive.ph/O3YaQ

“‘I was never on Epstein’s Plane, or at his ‘stupid’ Island,’ [Trump] posted in January 2024… Trump has also insisted that he knew nothing of Epstein’s criminal activity—critics questioned how that could be true given their close relationship…” @sfifz787.bsky.social No paywall: archive.today/L5M3U

“Todd Blanche ADMITS he had a hand in moving Ghislaine Maxwell, which required a waiver of her sex offender status… Epstein survivor Annie Farmer says there are likely ADDITIONAL FBI reports about Trump that were NOT released.” @muellershewrote.com bsky.app/profile/muel... bsky.app/profile/ronf...

“‪Earlier this year, Kash Patel testified under oath that internal files contained no credible information Epstein trafficked young women to anyone other than himself. Today, DOJ released internal emails referring to ‘10 co-conspirators.’” @sarahlongwell25.bsky.social bsky.app/profile/empt...

“Here’s the reason we can’t give [Bondi’s DOJ] the benefit of the doubt… Anyone who has talked to the survivors or the survivors’ lawyers knows that there are critical [Epstein files] documents that American people should see.” @rokhanna.bsky.social @chrislhayes.bsky.social bsky.app/profile/cweb...

“[Pam Bondi and Blanche and their DOJ] suddenly ‘discovered’ a million more documents?! … They expect us to believe they suddenly found a million more documents even though the entire [Epstein] file was transferred to Main Justice in January of 2025? Stop! Stop the insanity.” @katiephang.bsky.social

“We were supposed to have had all the documents at once… An 86-page memorandum on the 10 co-conspirators that was as fresh as December 2019 after Epstein’s death — the fact that file exists is new and potentially very important.” @rgoodlaw.bsky.social @billkristolbulwark.bsky.social @thebulwark.com

NYT: “During a trip to the bathroom, they ran into Mr. Trump’s new wife, whom they had met earlier. Ms Maples clasped her hands, Ms Coleman recalled, and looked her in the eye. ‘Whatever you do, do not let her around any of these men, and especially my husband,’ she told Ms Coleman. ‘Protect her.’”

“[Trump] is in the [Epstein] file. We know he’s in the file... was on his plane...

“The extremely simple fact is that Jeff Epstein was the most notorious child sex trafficker in history, and the President of the US was his close personal friend for decades… The man knew what Epstein did, didn’t care, and participated… It’s exactly what it looks like.”‬ @whstancil.bsky.social

“Mar-a-Lago spa’s practice of dispatching workers to Epstein’s home has not been previously reported... Mar-a-Lago bosses told her Epstein preferred spa services in the privacy of his home, and warned the employee Epstein sometimes exposed himself during massages.” WSJ www.wsj.com/us-news/trum...

“I had an MRI. The doctor said it was the best result he has ever seen as a doctor. That’s it… The result was outstanding.

The best thing to have is enough.

Lessons are repeated until they are learned.

Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it’s the only thing that ever has. Margaret Mead

All the lessons of history in four sentences: Whom the gods would destroy, they first make mad with power. The mills of God grind slowly, but they grind exceedingly small. The bee fertilizes the flower it robs. When it is dark enough, you can see the stars. — Charles A. Beard

“The America I love, the America I’ve written about, that has been a beacon of hope and liberty for 250 years, is currently in the hands of a corrupt, incompetent and treasonous administration… Rise with us, raise your voices against authoritarianism.” @brucespringsteen.net bsky.app/profile/bruc...

“It is not just the corruption of Trump pardoning someone who was making him richer. It is also a two-tier justice system where the rich can buy freedom.
