BREAKING: Texas Democrats drop a bombshell on Donald Trump by pushing for an amendment to the state's redistricting maps that would require MAGA Attorney General Pam Bondi to release the Jeffrey Epstein files before the changes can take effect.
This is a brilliant chess move...
“Trump is in those files, and that’s why he’s fighting to keep them hidden,” stated Texas House Minority Leader Gene Wu.
“At the same time he’s demanding Abbott ram through racist maps, he’s making sure Congressional Republicans block the release of files that could expose his decades-long relationship with a child sex trafficker,” Wu added. “This amendment forces Republicans to choose between their loyalty to Trump and their obligation to expose sexual predators.”
The amendment, which is being introduced by Wu, states that the new maps can only be adopted once Bondi "makes publicly available in a searchable and downloadable format all unclassified records, documents, communications, and investigative materials in the possession of the Department of Justice, including the Federal Bureau of Investigation and United States Attorneys’ Offices, that relate to Jeffrey Epstein."
Republicans are planning to ram through a vote to add five new Republican-leaning districts, a move that would dilute the votes of Black and Latino voters and give Trump a better chance of holding the U.S. House in the midterm elections. Trump himself requested the electoral assistance.
While Republicans will almost certainly vote down the amendment, even that would be a victory for Democrats because it would once again force the Republicans to admit that they're covering up the Epstein files.
Please retweet and ❤️ if you think that Democrats should not stop until the files are released!

Trump said he was going to Russia (instead of Alaska), and he may as well have done that. Putin just rolled all over him. The American people and Congress must stand strong for Ukraine against this humiliating appeasement. https://t.co/nKTus0YFsT
Trump wants another probe into J6–great! Let’s review how he organized extremist groups, Christian white nationalists and MAGA politicians to attack an election he lost 306-237 in the electoral college and by more than 7 million votes. Let’s start by hearing from 140 wounded officers whose lives changed that day.
In Alaska, we saw a lawless president who excuses the bloody imperialist invasion of Ukraine roll out the red carpet for a lawless president who ordered the bloody imperialist invasion of Ukraine.
The democratic world must stand against the dictators.
SHOULD THIS DISQUALIFY HIM?
Ryan Reilly, Trump's nominee to lead the Bureau of Labor Statistics, is shown in photographs on January 6 as part of the mob trying to overthrow the government.
Your thoughts?
Lawrence O’Donnell didn’t hold back last night: “Tomorrow Donald Trump will fly to Alaska to meet with a war criminal who he has called a genius in order to avoid questions about a pedophile who raped children while Donald Trump was calling him a terrific guy. It won’t work.”
DONALD IS FINISHED — HE IS NO LONGER “HOT.” FIRST THE HANDS (SO TINY) AND NOW ME — GAVIN C. NEWSOM — HAVE TAKEN AWAY HIS “STEP.” MANY ARE SAYING HE CAN’T EVEN DO THE “BIG STAIRS” ON AIR FORCE ONE ANYMORE — USES THE LITTLE BABY STAIRS NOW. SAD! TOMORROW HE’S GOT HIS “MEETING” WITH PUTIN IN “RUSSIA.” NOBODY CARES. ALL THE TELEVISION CAMERAS ARE ON ME, AMERICA’S FAVORITE GOVERNOR. EVEN LOW-RATINGS LAURA INGRAM (EDITS THE TAPES!) CAN’T STOP TALKING ABOUT MY BEAUTIFUL MAPS. YOU’RE WELCOME FOR LIBERATION DAY, AMERICA! DONNIE J MISSED “THE DEADLINE” (WHOOPS!) AND NOW I RUN THE SHOW. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER! — GCN
BREAKING: As Putin enters US airspace, multiple Russian ballistic missiles HAVE JUST BEEN FIRED AT Desna, Ukraine.
That’s how much Putin respects Trump.
BREAKING: Tom Cruise, the world's biggest movie star, enrages MAGA world by rejecting a lifetime achievement world from Donald Trump and his fascism-tainted Kennedy Center.
This is a powerful slap in the face to the celebrity obsessed Trump...
According to The Washington Post, Cruise's team stated that the megastar could not attend the award ceremony due to "scheduling conflicts," which is the excuse often provided when a star wants to avoid an event without causing waves.
Trump had been hoping to announce Cruise's name on Wednesday but had to settle for washed up conservative "stars" like Sylvester Stallone and KISS. By rejecting the so-called "honor," Cruise will avoid tying his name to Trump's or giving tacit support to his authoritarian regime.
The president also announced that he will be hosting the televised event himself because apparently he has nothing better to do with wars waging around the war, rising inflation due to his tariffs, and an ever-escalating Jeffrey Epstein scandal. Trump's fixation on fame is well-documented and he deeply resents that Hollywood now despises him.
In fact, Trump even alluded to giving himself an award next year since he has never received one from the Kennedy Center. The award "recognizes and celebrates individuals whose unique artistic contributions have shaped our world," which of course Trump has never done.
"I waited and waited and waited, and I said, ‘The hell with it, I’ll become chairman and I’ll give myself an honor,’" said Trump. "Next year, we’ll honor Trump, okay?”
Trump also said that he was "98 percent involved" in selecting the honorees, so one can safely presume that selecting Cruise was his idea.
Trump's takeover of the Kennedy Center has proven deeply controversial as he has stocked the board with MAGA loyalists. Republicans have even suggested renaming the prestigious Center to the "Trump Center for the Performing arts."
Everything that Trump touches withers and dies and unfortunately the Kennedy Center is proving no exception. Accepting an award from the institution while it's being controlled by a man as tasteless, venial, and cruel as this is a stain on an artist's legacy, not a feather in their cap.
Please retweet and ❤️ to thank Tom Cruise!
