Amsterdam has it's Anne Frank House with it's warning against fascism, Berlin has it Topography of Terror on the site Nazi, Gestapo and SS headquarters, could we convert Mar-a-Lago into a memorial museum about sexual abuse, trafficking, power, impunity, and the exploitation of women and children?

The Maine Senate Race In One Post:

[Congressman Robert Garcia @RepRobertGarcia]

We should be talking about the massive fraud going on at the White House: Apparent pay-to-play schemes, pardons, the $2 billion slush fund. But we’re not. They are not serious about fighting fraud.

No other president in US History has ever been this rude, insulting or ignorant!

[House Judiciary Dems @HouseJudiciary]

RM @RepRaskin slammed Republicans’ vindictively partisan investigation into ActBlue, a donation platform used by Democratic candidates.

Republicans continue to ignore the rampant fraud and ripoffs on their own fundraising platform WinRed.

Republicans are targeting ActBlue despite significant improvements they made to much lesser problems while failing to protect their own constituents who are being cheated out of their life savings by WinRed’s predatory and deceptive practices.

First-time voters say they’re voting for @JamesTalarico:

“The fact that Talarico doesn't plan on taking any PAC money… He's free to actually be a servant of the people rather than the billionaire.”

“He's not about like the big corporations, and he really cares about people.”

“My school district got sued last year by Paxton. So to know that his first bill is going to be an anti-corruption bill is very important to me.”

"It's a race against time. ... People like @realDonaldTrump, narcissistic sociopaths like the ones we've seen throughout history—the Hitlers and the Stalins—they blow themselves up in the end. And the question is the blast radius, and the longer we let this go on the bigger the blast radius is."

Warning: Buzzwords.

I led 20 Senators in raising the alarm on staff shortages at the Fish and Wildlife Service, with no answer.

The response I got today under oath was one of the most dense word salads I've ever heard.

Listen for yourself:

“They told us voting is a privilege, not a right.”

That’s what I heard from students at North Carolina A&T who are fighting to protect access to the ballot.

These young leaders are organizing, speaking out, and refusing to let anyone take their power, and I am so proud of them.

It’s like poetic justice how there’s a double rainbow outside the John Kennedy Center as Trump’s name is being removed.

She confirms Donald Trump bought UFC stock while hyping the White House event to personally profit. He throws lavish parties while Americans suffer from his disastrous inflation!

[Jesus Freakin Congress @TheJFreakinC]

🚨BREAKING: A U.S. citizen in, Vancouver, WA, was pulled over by FIVE police cars for legally observing and documenting ICE agents… then had to explain the Constitution to the officers detaining him…

And it was all caught on video.

In the video, an ICE agent didn’t like being watched, called local police…

Then suddenly, the U.S. citizen, exercising his constitutional rights, was surrounded by FIVE cop cars.

And most ridiculous part?

The officers who claimed “reasonable suspicion” for detaining the U.S. citizen, could not even answer this simple question…

Is it legal to observe and record law enforcement?

After refusing to answer, and arguing about the First Amendment for several minutes, the officer finally admitted…

Yes. It is legal to observe and record law enforcement.

So, if it’s a legally protected activity… then why was this U.S. citizen detained?

Federal courts, across the country, have repeatedly recognized that the First Amendment protects the right to record and observe government officials… including law enforcement performing their duties in public… as long as you aren’t interfering with them.

That means, local police, and ICE agents, don’t get to decide when that right applies… They don’t get to ignore the Constitution because they’re uncomfortable with public oversight.

But this isn’t the only incident.

Across America, we’re watching local law enforcement work alongside ICE, while ordinary citizens, journalists, and legal observers are being questioned, detained, and intimidated for exercising their constitutional rights.

And the fact that a U.S. citizen had to educate the officers, who were detaining HIM, about the Constitution… should outrage every single person.

Because if the people enforcing the law don’t understand the constitutional rights they’re sworn to protect…

That puts every American in danger.

BREAKING: Shocking new reporting from CNN reveals how Donald Trump has once again been duped by the Iranian regime. Donald Trump is possible the worst negotiator ever.

[BrooklynDad_Defiant!☮️ @mmpadellan]

Bragging that you dropped $250 million dollars worth of bombs on Iran IN ONE NIGHT, while people are starving and struggling to pay bills and can't get health insurance, is NOT the flex you think it is.

IT IS OBSCENE.

[Brian Allen @allenanalysis]

BREAKING: CNN Just Highlighted A Pretty Devastating Number.

84% of Americans say the Epstein files reinforce their belief that powerful people are rarely held accountable.

Think about that.

Not 84% of Democrats.

Not 84% of Republicans.

84% of Americans.

The breakdown was even more striking:

- 82% of Republicans
- 80% of Independents
- 90% of Democrats

Prediction markets have reportedly lowered the odds that Todd Blanche becomes Trump's next Attorney General.

The Epstein controversy isn't creating distrust.

It's validating distrust that was already there.

And now it's starting to affect people connected to the administration.

[Emoluments Clause @Emolclause]

#BREAKING: Psaki: “One official described one of the Situation Room meetings as surreal, after the whole thing devolved into a LENGTHY discussion about NIPPLES. Again, this is a meeting that took place in the part of the White House where Barack Obama watched the strike that killed Osama bin Laden, and Trump’s team used it to talk about nipples, which tells you kind of everything you need to know.”😂🤦‍♀️

[Occupy Democrats @OccupyDemocrats]

BREAKING: GET HIM! Congressman Robert Garcia BLASTS J.D. Vance for taking part in the Epstein coverup after bombshell reporting revealed his central role — and demands he be subpoenaed.

This creep should kiss his dreams of the presidency goodbye...

“I think for the first time in this whole Epstein investigation, we have the Vice President of the United States that is now part of this massive coverup,” Garcia told reporters.

He vowed to investigate Vance's role in the coverup, citing recent New York Times reporting which revealed that Vance led the "task force" that convened in the White House to discuss damage control as Trump was buffeted by his Epstein storm.

“I mean, the fact that JD Vance is hosting meetings in the Situation Room, which is designed for national security issues, multiple meetings, he’s leading those meetings, he’s talking about protecting the President," said Garcia.

"He’s talking about strategy on Ghislaine Maxwell … she exonerates Donald Trump. That’s a huge, that’s huge bombshell reporting,” Garcia added. He said it "confirms for the first time that JD Vance has been a part of the strategy, we’ve not learned that until the reporting from yesterday.”

Garcia stated that he's going to ask House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer to ask Vance to testify in the next 24 hours "or so" to discuss the Times' reporting. Comer has been surprisingly aggressive in pursuing the Epstein issue, and recently moved to interview Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche and Alan Dershowitz about the late billionaire pedophile.

“Why are we having meetings in the Situation Room about Epstein strategy?” Garcia asked. “I think it’s pretty, pretty crazy reporting."

It's hard to imagine a more disqualifying revelation than this. Vance is so desperate to be President that he's willing to help an alleged child rapist massage the PR fallout from his scandal.

Please ❤️ and share if you would NEVER vote for Vance!
