⛔️ Todd Blanche is illegally and deliberately withholding 2.5 million Epstein Files from the American people‼️

[MP Arizona☀️🏳️‍🌈💙🌵🐕🐕‍🦺🫂💦🏜🐟🌴🎙🌎🌻♍️🌊 @AzPetrich]

If you knew someone that pleaded the 5th 97 times in court, had 34 felonies, 91 criminal charges, 28 sexual assault allegations, 6 bankruptcies, 5 draft deferments, 4 indictments, and a fake university and charity shut down for fraud, why the FUCK would you make him PRESIDENT????

@SecRubio Good thing the war is over. This could have been really bad.

MAJOR BREAKING: Video of the Kuwait International Airport after Iran attacked it.

But don’t worry…. Trump says the war is over and we won.

[The Shallow State @OurShallowState]

One hour ago, Republicans Thomas Massie, Warren Davidson, Tom Barrett, and Brian Fitzpatrick BROKE from Trump and voted with Dems. And lo and behold, the House passed a War Powers Resolution to rein in Trump’s war of choice in Iran by a vote of 215-208.

[CALL TO ACTIVISM @CalltoActivism]

BREAKING: Donald Trump calls JB Pritzker a “dumb, stupid slob.”

Just a reminder that JB Pritzker just balanced the Illinois budget with a $0 deficit AND has signed relief for groceries and gas.

Trump is a 5th grade bully who apparently needs to look in the mirror.

@covie_93 Funny, because most of America has seen him sleeping.

@SecRubio Tagging you so hopefully you won't continue to look ridiculous.

[Covie @covie_93]

The same man that told you he has never seen trump sleep also told you that the war with Iran is over.

[Rep. Jim McGovern @RepMcGovern]

Our joke of an acting AG @DAGToddBlanche—who “happens” to be Trump’s former personal attorney—just gave his boss a lifelong get out of jail free card (which also applies to Trump’s family and businesses.)

Doesn’t get any more corrupt than that.

I cried today… I had a young girl come in with a family member with “vaginial” issues. She is 8. By the end of the appointment we were contacting to appropriate authorities for suspected sexual abuse. 8! She looks lost and terrified at 8! 8 fucking years old.

If this outages you, then so should the files. If it doesn’t then you are one of them.

Release the Epstein Files and take everyone down with them.

@realDonaldTrump You look ridiculous when you say stupid stuff like this.

Here’s a fact check of some of President Trump’s claims, including a bunch of long-debunked lies, from a single softball New York Post interview released this morning.

Claim: “We're the only country in the world that has mail-in ballots.” Truth: Dozens of countries have mail-in ballots, including Canada, the UK, Australia, Germany, and Switzerland.

Claim: The 2020 election was “rigged” and has “been proven to be rigged.” Truth: Not rigged, there’s no proof for Trump’s assertion more than five years later, and he lost fair and square.

Claim: Trump won “three” presidential elections. Truth: He won in 2016 and 2024, lost in 2020.

Claim: In the 2024 election, “There were areas that were just rigged…rigged against me.” Truth: Nonsense again; he won that election fair and square but lost some areas of the country fair and square.

Claim: Democrats “could not win” “if they didn’t cheat.” Truth: Democrats, like Republicans, clearly win various elections legitimately.

Claim: California mails out “38 million ballots," and while "some people get three, four, five ballots," "Republicans get, oftentimes, none.” Truth: California mails a ballot to all active registered voters, of which there are 23 million, not the “38 million” figure Trump has used repeatedly; while there are occasional errors by county elections offices and the postal service, there's no general anti-Republican bias in ballot-mailing in the state.

Claim: “I inherited the highest inflation in the history of our country…Biden had like 9, 10% inflation. And I inherited that, and we have it way down.” Truth: The inflation rate the month Trump returned to office was 3.0%, lower than the most recent rate of 3.8%; Biden-era inflation did peak at 9.1%, but that was in mid-2022, and it wasn’t close to the all-time record of 23.7%. Regardless, it had fallen substantially before Trump’s inauguration.

Claim: “We have $18 trillion being invested in the country in just 11 months.” Truth: This is a completely fictional figure. The White House’s own website says there have been $10.6 trillion in “major investment announcements” this term, and even that’s a massive exaggeration that counts vague pledges, not-even-pledges, and pledges that are about mutual trade rather than investments in the US.

Claim: Trump had gas prices at “$1.85 in Iowa” on the day he visited there in January. Truth: The Iowa average gas price that day was $2.57 per gallon, per AAA; GasBuddy found four stations in the state out of 2,036 selling for $1.97 that day, none at $1.85; the station outside the venue where he spoke was at $2.69. (Ethanol-gas blend E85 was around $1.85, but that can only be used in a small percentage of cars, and he didn’t say that was what he was talking about.)

Claim: Democratic Texas Senate candidate James Talarico was still wearing a mask “a couple of months ago.” Truth: I've found no evidence for this; the Talarico video many Republicans have mocked shows Talarico wearing a mask in 2022, not 2026.

Claim: Mitch McConnell was “losing by a lot” in the 2020 Senate election in Kentucky but then Trump endorsed him and got him elected. Truth: McConnell, running in a state that hasn’t elected a Democrat to the Senate since 1992, led in all but one public poll in that race, and that one exception was a poll conducted for a pro-term-limits group in which he trailed by just one point; he was always the overwhelming favorite.

Claim: The Jan. 6 attack was “nonsense” in which “the FBI said, ‘Go in. Go in.’” Truth: That was a riot perpetrated by Trump supporters, and there's no evidence the FBI ever told rioters to illegally enter the Capitol. DOJ’s inspector general found the FBI had zero undercover agents at the riot…and Trump was president at the time and had personally appointed the FBI director.

Claim: Former VP Harris “was the border czar” but “never went.” Truth: She went to the border twice as VP, and the Biden administration repeatedly emphasized she was never “border czar” but had a narrower assignment focused on the “root causes” of migration from Central America.

Claim: Under Biden, “25 million people” poured over the border. Truth: This is a further exaggeration from the wildly exaggerated “21 million” figure Trump used to use; even counting “gotaways,” it’s not even close to correct.

Claim: Democrats are so dumb that “we had 11,888 murderers, most of whom committed more than one murder, allowed into our country.” Truth: The federal data it appears Trump is referring to is about people who entered the US over the course of multiple decades, *including during Trump’s own first administration.*

Claim: Under Biden, countries emptied their jail populations into the US – “the whole jail was emptied into our country.” Trump and his team have never substantiated this claim even though he’s made it for years, and experts on global prison policy and on the countries he has previously identified as the supposed culprits have told me they’ve seen no evidence for it.

Today @SecMullinDHS yet again tried to defend ICE’s lawless deportation dragnet by asserting that they are going after the “worst of the worst.”

Nobody is fooled by this flat-out lie.

In fact, ICE has been violating their own policy for a year by arresting people at immigration court.

But Secretary Mullin didn’t even know that.

DHS does not get to make up their own laws and it’s time Sec. Mullin learns what they are and follows them.
