Daily reminder:Release the Epstein Files👇🏻

To be fair this is a photograph of my actual doctor.

its good to see this happening somewhere and it needs to be happening everywhere

This week, I will be forcing a vote on legislation to block the sale of nearly half a billion dollars worth of bombs and bulldozers to the Israeli military. The extremist Netanyahu government that has committed genocide in Gaza does not need more military support from American taxpayers.

From new Hungarian Prime Minister Péter Magyar's acceptance speech tonight. This is the absolute BARE MINIMUM platform for any Democrat running for President in 2028.

JD Vance is on a historic roll: He campaigns for AfD in Germany - they lose. Invited the Pope to come to US for Trump’s big event - Pope refuses. Leads peace negotiations with Iran - fails miserably. Campaigns in Hungary for Orbán - who gets smoked.

Is the fact that the Iran war wasn’t congressionally authorized something we no longer talk about? Seems like the reporting/discussion now just assumes that Trump can just do whatever he wants wrt the use of force

Tens of thousands chant “Russians, go home!” at tonight’s anti-Orbán concert in Budapest’s Heroes’ Square ahead of Sunday’s Hungarian election.

Melania choosing now to speak publicly about Jeffrey Epstein is interesting…

This Guardian story from 2020 asked: "Why would a man in his 40s, whose main business was real-estate development, want to host a beauty contest for teenage girls?" I think we know the answer. Release all the Epstein files. End the Trump cover-up.

Bravo to Pope Leo, for denouncing Trump’s threat to destroy Iran’s ‘whole civilization.’ We need those with moral authority to speak out against our president’s abuses of power.

At 11:30a: House Democrats will attempt to pass a war powers authorization by unanimous consent It’s expected that Republicans will block the effort That could jam up Republicans with constituents who oppose the war

7. There hasn't been regime change. 8. U.S. casualties are over 800. 9. There's no secret new 10-point Iranian peace plan, just the old one. 10. Regular Iranian missile strikes continue. 11. U.S. and Israeli interceptors arsenals are in a dire state. 12. This war has wasted tens of billions.

1 Iran has two navies; only one—the far smaller one—was destroyed. 2. Half of Iran's launchers are intact. 3. Iran held back its small air force—it wasn't destroyed. 4 There's been no impact on Iran's nuclear capabilities. 5. Only 0.3% of Iran's army was neutralized. 6 The Strait is closed.

NEW: Since Donald Trump waged war on Iran, Americans have paid over $8 BILLION MORE for gas.

🔥 @rokhanna.bsky.social to Democratic leadership: “Get out. Let a new generation lead. You’ve been ineffective. The base doesn’t like you. The base wants fighters.”

She’s right

This is a clarifying and revealing moment for many “leaders” in Washington. Remember who spoke out and who laid down.

Remember when Dan Quayle misspelled a word and it was the end of his political career?

Erratic. Can’t finish sentences. Often confused. Illogical train of thought. Word finding difficulties. Developing and worsening gradually over time. The President is exhibiting all the signs of dementia.

He means it this time.

By the way trumps unhinged “praise Allah” post did one thing: extended his deadline again. He’s super serious THIS time

Happy Easter

The last 24 hours marked the highest number of U.S. aircraft shot down in a single day since Vietnam Trump did that.

I heard someone say that we should be registering voters at gas stations.

Trump is right, we can either pay for “daycare, Medicaid, Medicare all these things," or we can pay for more war. Every dollar we spend on this illegal war of choice, is a dollar that could have helped improve life right here at home. He's telling us what he cares about more.

Our bipartisan subpoena requires Pam Bondi to appear before our Committee, whether she's Attorney General or not. She has an opportunity now to give us the full truth about the Epstein files, and we look forward to her testimony.

A reminder that last week, Pam Bondi accidentally released a Jack Smith memo revealing Trump’s motive for stealing and illegally retaining classified documents.

Everyone needs to stop what they’re doing and watch this video. “It seems like there’s a lack of diversity here today, and it’s mostly people who look like you and me, and I just…?” This lady’s response is🔥

Consider this: In a nation with a population approaching 349 million, the participation of 8 million people means that more than one of every 50 U.S. residents joined a No Kings rally. Stat seen on @usatoday.com

The NY Times saves its harshest skepticism for progressives. Instead of being impressed by 3,000+ coordinated protests, NYT dismisses the value of “hitting a number” and asks if No Kings will be “a primal scream that fades into a whimper.” F off, NY Times. We'll defeat fascism w/o you. (Gift link)

Exactly 5 minutes BEFORE Trump announced a 5-day delay in bombing Iranian power plants, someone purchased $1.5 billion worth of S&P futures in a single trade. Someone also sold $192 million in oil futures. Trump and/or his cronies are engaging in market manipulation and insider trading.

Maybe throw a few ICE agents into the air traffic control towers? Couldn’t hurt, right?

How is it possible that Congress and much of the media just shrug at Trump’s months-long chokehold on Cuba—a country that poses no credible threat to us? And now he’s openly talking about overthrowing its president. It’s reckless, it’s dangerous, and the silence around it is staggering. WTF??
