😱😱😱 And just like that, it’s completely VANISHED from the media.

A sitting congressman, Ted Lieu, said on the record the Epstein files are being blocked because they show Trump raped and threatened to kill children.

Lets make this viral again 👇

DEAR DONALD,

HAPPY 99TH ANNIVERSARY TO YOUR DAD. HE HAD THE GUTS TO MARCH FOR WHAT HE BELIEVES IN, THE KKK. HE MUST BE SO PROUD AS HE LOOKS UP AT YOU FROM HELL. EVERY DAD PASSES ON HIS GENES, BUT TO PASS ON GENES WITH LITTLE HOODS ON, NOW THAT'S SOMETHING TO WHITE HOME ABOUT.

This is nuts!

Thousands of people show up for @jamestalarico’s rally in Ken Paxton’s home county — Collin County — in deep red Texas!

He’s gonna win!

[Graham Platner for Senate @grahamformaine]

There hasn’t been a draft in over 50 years. Every single one of the 7,000 young men and women Susan Collins sent to die in Iraq and Afghanistan enlisted.

What a disgusting slap in the face to their families and a callous disregard for their sacrifice.

I’m proud to endorse .@DarializaforNY for Congress. The daughter of a single mom and case worker, Darializa has dedicated her life to fighting for people too often left behind by government. She’s helped free neighbors wrongfully detained by ICE and has long believed in a politics rooted in affordability, dignity, and community. Her campaign is powered by working people ready to reject a politics of big money and demand something better. Let's go win this.

Samuel Alito’s son has worked as a lawyer inside Trump’s Treasury Department since early last year. The administration hid it.

No public resume, no LinkedIn, no mention on the Treasury website, outdated bar listings. Four former officials confirmed it.

The public was never told.

Here is why that matters.

Philip Alito served as an attorney-adviser in Treasury’s general counsel office, briefed on department matters across the board, while the Supreme Court took up a case in which the Treasury Department was a named defendant.

The department never disclosed the connection in court.

Justice Alito did not recuse.

The federal recusal law is plain. A justice must step aside in any case where his impartiality might reasonably be questioned.

That is the test.

Not whether anyone can prove influence but whether a reasonable person looking at this would doubt it. A justice ruling on cases involving the very agency that employs his son fails that test on its face.

And Treasury sits at the center of many upcoming issues, including the fight over Trump’s $1.776 billion dollar fund to reward the January 6th rioters he pardoned. That fight could be headed to the Court too.

This is exactly why the honor system has failed.

The Supreme Court is the only court in America with no enforceable code of conduct. I support withholding funding from the Court until the justices adopt a binding code with real recusal review.

Congress holds the power of the purse.

We should use it.

🚨This is one of the most disturbing ICE brutality videos I’ve seen in a long time…

Another angle of this incident shows ICE agents suddenly rushing protesters outside the Newark ICE Facility, then continuously shoving U.S. citizens toward the wheels of a MOVING TRUCK…

until an activist’s LEG is run over.

And the most disturbing part?

The protesters are not charging the agents… The agents are the ones creating the escalation.

And not only that, they are forcing civilians backward toward a MOVING VEHICLE, escalating a situation that was not violent until THEY made it violent.

That is reckless, dangerous force.

So, let’s go over the obvious constitutional violations happening in this video…

1. First Amendment violations, because Americans have the constitutional right to peacefully protest the government.

2. Fourth Amendment violations, because federal agents cannot use excessive or objectively unreasonable force against nonviolent civilians.

3. Fifth Amendment due process concerns, because the government cannot arbitrarily target, intimidate, or assault citizens exercising protected rights.

4. Federal officers can also face liability under 18 U.S. Code § 242 for depriving people of constitutional rights “under color of law.”

When armed federal agents create chaos themselves, then use that chaos to justify violence against civilians, that is an abuse of power.

Call your representatives.
Demand accountability.

[Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani @NYCMayor]

Three months ago today, a war began that no one voted for — and the cost has been paid by people who had no say in it.

Thousands of civilians have lost their lives. Thirteen U.S. servicemembers will never come home to their families.

Americans across this country and our city have watched prices rise at the pump and the grocery store, their budgets strained by a conflict launched without a single vote of Congress.

Every life lost abroad and every dollar squeezed from a working family here is part of the same reckless bill, handed to the people who could least afford it by those who will never pay it themselves.

I opposed this war from the first day. I oppose it still. It must end.

@RepThomasMassie you have nothing to lose sir. Let it rip...

Every taxpayer needs to read this DoJ produced document that signs off on this unprecedented “settlement.” Just stunning how the political appointees at DoJ conspired with Trump to create this $1.7B slush fund which literally can be used to pay anyone Trump desires. https://t.co/blI8Vn65Yr

Mayor Zohran Mamdani mocks Ronald Reagan’s infamous quote.

“I can think of nine words more terrifying than ‘I’m from the government and I’m here to help…’”

“I worked all day and can’t feed my family.”

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

Donald Trump just stole $1.7B from us — and he's creating a slush fund to reward his political allies.

I've never seen anything like this in my 50 years in politics.

It makes Nixon look like a boy scout.

🚨 ICE DOES NOT GET A FREE PASS 🚨

If you are standing still, peaceful, and not resisting and an ICE officer shoves, strikes, or grabs you, https://t.co/du9bv2U4pY explains that may violate your Fourth Amendment rights.

Masks and hidden badges make accountability harder. That is why we witness.

🎥 FILM EVERYTHING.
Stay calm. Do not retaliate.

You have rights. PAXIS helps people understand them and take lawful action.

Report abuse. Protect each other. Stay nonviolent. Stay ready.

Today marks Nakba Day, an annual day of remembrance to commemorate the expulsion of more than 700,000 Palestinians between 1947 and 1949 during the creation of the State of Israel and the year that followed.

Inea is a New Yorker and a Nakba survivor. She shared her story with us — one of home, tradition and memory over generations.
