I spent the last few months talking to people across the political spectrum, and to people who want nothing to do with politics at all. Here is what I learned.
We are not a divided country. We are a country being divided, on purpose, by an American oligarchy that profits from the fight. They’ve captured our government, denied our healthcare, looted our treasury, and saddled us with crippling debt.
I believe in a New New Deal. Healthcare as a human right. The right of every family to a decent home, and an end to endless wars.
And a dividend paid to every American from the AI economy, because these machines were built on the whole of human inheritance. That inheritance belongs to all of us, and not just to the handful of men playing God with our very existence.
And none of it happens if we just move on. Donald Trump, his family, and his administration are robbing us blind, not just of our money, but of our faith in one another, and they have to answer for it. Truth and reconciliation, not revenge. Then we break the system that let them do it.
The question is not whether we will lose our democracy. The question is whether we will fight to take back what has already been stolen.
I learned in recovery that you can’t heal what you won’t name. Neither can a country.
The ex-wife of ICE agent David Brouillette speaks out: “He’s like, ‘I need you to lie about my character because what it comes down to is my character, I don’t want you talking about any of the abuse in our relationship.’ I told him I was not gonna lie for him, that I’ve waited years to speak my truth, I’ve been silenced long enough and now I need to come out with everything because a man lost his life. It was abuse not only to me, but to our daughter. Even being divorced from him, I’ve dealt with harassing phone calls, threats of him wanting to kill me. I believe this man was murdered. I believe David’s mental health played a part in what happened”
Putin
Last night Donald Trump released a declassified document that says his own intelligence community identified Putin as personally running an operation to defeat my father in 2020, built around a fake Burisma corruption scandal centered around me and executed through prominent Americans.
Trump tasked his personal lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, to fly to Kyiv and meet a known Russian agent.
The Americans who ran, laundered, and legitimized the operation:
Donald Trump. Rudy Giuliani. John Solomon. Joe DiGenova. Victoria Toensing. Lev Parnas. Igor Fruman. Chanel Rion. Sean Hannity. Steve Bannon. Miranda Devine. Ken Vogel. Ron Johnson. Chuck Grassley. James Comer. Jim Jordan.
To name a few.
An operation formally sanctioned by Trump's own Treasury Department on September 10, 2020, and expanded to include more named actors on January 11, 2021.
Oh, and don't forget the Russian-linked FBI informant Alexander Smirnov, who later pleaded guilty to making the entire Burisma bribery story up.
The record exists and we have all the receipts, and more.
🚨BREAKING: This is the unearthed video Senator Adam Schiff repeatedly demanded Todd Blanche to answer for during today’s hearing.
Blanche literally ADMITS he fired DOJ attorneys who prosecuted Trump, his own client - a staggering and obvious breach of ethics.
Epstein survivor: Mr. Blanche said he would meet with survivors. Well, we're here and we are ready to meet. You were asked if you were Donald Trump's friend. You responded and misspoke, 'I'm his lawyer.' You are the American people's lawyer. We call on every senator who values justice to vote against confirming Todd Blanche as the Attorney General. To every senator, especially Tillis and Cornyn preparing to vote, please listen to us.
Hey Senate, did the due diligence for you on Todd Blanche. Here are 16 questions you should ask him on Wednesday.
The deep dive is up on Substack (link in bio).
1. Joseph Tirrell, the department’s senior ethics lawyer, advised you in March 2025 to recuse from Trump matters. You told this committee under oath you would follow the ethics experts. Why didn’t you? And was Mr. Tirrell removed after giving that advice?
2. You testified in February 2025 that you had no knowledge of the Adams dismissal decision. Ms. Sassoon’s letter says Mr. Bove may have spoken with you about it two weeks earlier. Ten senators have asked the Inspector General to investigate your testimony. Will you commit, under oath, that you had no communications about the Adams case before that hearing, and will you waive privilege over any that exist?
3. You signed the April 7, 2025 crypto enforcement memo while holding up to 485,000 dollars in crypto, in apparent breach of your own ethics agreement. The department says this was "cleared in advance." Who cleared it? Produce the written clearance.
4. Why did you personally interview Ghislaine Maxwell rather than assign line prosecutors? Was any FBI agent in the room? Did you discuss her custody placement, her habeas petition, or clemency in any form? And why was her transfer to minimum security, in tension with BOP policy, never documented to Senator Whitehouse in eleven months?
5. Judge Sullivan found you conceded violating the Epstein Files Transparency Act. You told the public you were "not sitting on a single piece of paper." Which statement is true? And why is the National Security Division redacting a sex trafficking file?
6. Judge Crenshaw found you "started the investigation to implicate Abrego" to justify the deportation. Your office’s own emails are in the record. Do you dispute the emails? Will you produce Ben Schrader’s objection memo, the one that never reached Washington?
7. Body camera footage shows a federal agent arresting Mayor Baraka "per the deputy attorney general of the United States" while ordering cameras off. Did you order that arrest? Did you know about the camera instruction? You have had ten months to answer.
8. You signed a document permanently barring tax enforcement against the family whose PAC paid your firm nearly ten million dollars, without court approval and without recusal. Will you rescind it in writing? If the fund is truly dead, why did the government refuse Judge Brinkema’s request for sworn declarations, due July 17?
9. Your financial disclosure lists a confidential client in a pending grand jury proceeding. An Attorney General cannot supervise a grand jury matter involving his own secret client. Who is it, and from what will you recuse?
10. Ms. Oyer says you fired her within hours of her refusal to recommend restoring Mel Gibson’s gun rights, then sent armed marshals to her home before her testimony. What is your account, and will you produce the directive that sent them?
11. You testified in May that Maxwell went "from a low-security prison to a low-security prison." FPC Bryan is a minimum security camp and her placement required a waiver of BOP policy. Do you correct that testimony today?
12. Your February 14, 2026 letter certified to Congress that no Epstein records were withheld for reputational or political reasons. NPR then documented withheld and quietly removed FBI interviews concerning an allegation that mentioned Trump. Was your certification accurate when you signed it?
13. Judge Brinkema said one sworn declaration that the fund is dead would end the litigation. You testified it is dead. Why won’t you swear it? Will you sign that declaration before this Committee votes?
14. New Mexico is running the only active criminal investigation into the Zorro Ranch. Its attorney general says your department has withheld the unredacted records for more than 130 days while statutes of limitation erode. Will you produce them this week? If not, name the legal basis, in writing.
15. Senator Wyden says the DEA administrator was ready to hand Congress the unredacted 2015 OCDETF memo naming Epstein and fourteen others in a drug and prostitution financial investigation, and that you stopped him. You called that fabricated. Then release the memo. Will you commit to releasing the unredacted memo to this Committee, and to answering Senator Whitehouse’s Operation Trip Knot letter, before the vote?
16. You eliminated OCDETF over the objection of both parties’ appropriators, transferring 5,000 cases to an organization that did not yet exist. Under what authority did you decline to spend funds Congress appropriated, and did you seek an Impoundment Control Act opinion first?

This is Todd Blanche’s corrupt Justice Department.
Dozens upon dozens of ignored oversight requests. This is EVERY SINGLE ONE.
He only believes in answering to Trump… not Congress… and not YOU.
I publicly and privately urged the last administration to address the public’s concerns with the former president’s health. I’m calling on Sen. McConnell to do the same and provide voters an update on his own health. Let’s end the crazy speculation. Just tell us what’s going on.
Mamdani: I want to open up 5 test markets to lower food prices in New York.
Fox News: That's communism!!
Trump: I want to open 25 gas stations to lower gas prices for some people.
Fox News: That's genius!!🤦♂️
@goingfastkeepup@NYCMayor Serious question. Do you know what you are saying is wrong but dont care because you want Mamdani to look bad? Or do you actually believe everything you read on the internet?
