🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️ And just like that, Epstein / Trump completely VANISHED from the media.

But 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 & again 👇👇👇

Unacceptable behavior.

[Maria Shriver @mariashriver]

I’ve been thinking a lot about the extraordinary outbursts of the President of the United States against female journalists... well, actually against journalists in general and journalism. But it feels like he saves his most childlike behavior and irrational language for female reporters, calling them all kinds of names that kids in kindergarten are given times out for. It’s stunning to me to witness such behavior from any leader, any CEO, any person of influence or importance. I’ve never witnessed someone like this raging, this weekend with @meetthepress host @kwelkernbc, just last week in the Oval Office with @cnn’s @kaitlancollins, calling women stupid or piggy, telling them to “smile”, calling them darling, demeaning their credibility. Every good man should denounce this behavior. Every person should be able to stand up for their colleagues and say “No more.”

Imagine this man screaming like this at your daughter, your wife, your sister, your mother... would you stand for it? No, you wouldn’t! And neither should any of us. It’s unacceptable and undignified. Period. End of story.

🚨 WOW! MS NOW host Mika Brzezinski delivers a brutal reality check. She demands the media completely run over Donald Trump's lies and fight back with facts.

She warns that failing to do so turns networks into nothing more than state-run mouthpieces for the administration!

🚨NEW: Federal Judge Leonie Brinkema has blocked Donald Trump’s $1.8 billion “anti-weaponization” slush fund to pay January 6th insurrectionists.

RETWEET to thank Judge Brinkema for standing up for our democracy!

[DevilDog Diaries🇺🇲 @cjdelgross]

Daily reminder of exactly what January 6th was—and what it wasn't.

What it WAS:
• A violent breach of the U.S. Capitol building.
• An attempt to disrupt the peaceful transfer of power.
• An assault that left over 140 police officers injured.
• A multi-million dollar path of destruction to historic property.
• A federal crime resulting in over 1,000 court convictions.

What it WASN'T:
• A peaceful, patriotic, prayer event.
• A "Deep State" setup staged by undercover federal agents and Nancy Pelosi.
• A fabricated media event with "faked" audio and video.
• An inside job instigated or led by Antifa operatives.

The insurrection was fully documented by the rioters themselves through their own livestreams, text messages, and social media boasts. Facts Matter

The corruption is unreal.

The Reflecting Pool. A gold-plated ballroom. A multimillion-dollar arch.

As you struggle to get by, Trump takes your tax dollars and enriches his friends.

U.S. Army veteran Jon Gundersen on Trump's Arc: "This is not a monument to veterans. This is a monument to the ego of one man…It's disrespectful for veterans. It's not the way to honor veterans. So we decided to do a lawsuit."

Just one week after tobacco giant Reynolds donated $5 million to MAGA Inc. and dined with Trump at his golf club, President Trump directed FDA to authorize the sale of flavored vapes.

This corruption is poisoning our kids and unleashing a new wave of addiction on America.

Ossoff: "We see a faithless president self-dealing while he depicts as Christ, while he depicts the Obamas as apes, while he plunges the nation into reckless war, sends prices soaring, and plunders our healthcare to cut taxes for those who already have spectacular wealth."

#BREAKING: Rep Dave Min: “I just want to point out something here, these January 6th insurrectionists, a lot of them had criminal records, a lot of them were guilty of violent crimes before, a lot of them since being released by Donald Trump have gone on to commit additional crimes including child pornography, child sexual assault, rape, assault, these are NOT good people and there are people right now who have gone and done the worst things after being pardoned by Donald Trump, who are now set to receive millions of dollars in payments, and that’s just WRONG.”🤦‍♀️

[Occupy Democrats @OccupyDemocrats]

BREAKING: HELL YES! Vietnam veterans hit Trump with a massive lawsuit to stop his hideous and “disrespectful” Triumph Arch from being erected in D.C.

They didn't mince words about that draft-dodging coward...

"We know how authoritarian dictatorships work. There's no rule of law, there's no consent of the governed, and there's monuments for the leaders there," said veteran and retired diplomat Jon Gundersen.

"I think what we're doing is being loyal to the country. And loyalty can be measured in different ways," Gundersen added. He's suing the Trump administration along with veterans Shaun Byrnes and Michael Lemmon. Their lawsuit is joined by the ethics watchdog group Public Citizen.

The arch, which Trump has admitted is being built to honor himself, is slated to go up between the Lincoln Memorial and Arlington National Cemetery, our country's most hallowed resting place. At over twice the size of the Lincoln Memorial, the 250-foot-tall eye sore would cut off a clear view between the memorial and cemetery — inserting Trump's ego smack dab in the middle of our national soul.

"It's more about the duty I feel towards my colleagues and friends who did not come home to stand up against this project, regardless of who's in charge," said Byrnes. "I think it's just disrespectful to those that I served with who didn't come back, and then, of course, to all those who are lying in Arlington National Cemetery."

He explained that he has always hoped to be buried at Arlington when he dies but if Trump's arch goes up he'll be forced to "reconsider" his options.

The lawsuit argues that not only is Trump's vanity project arch illegal because he failed to obtain congressional approval, but it's also a disastrous design decision because it disrupts the intended sightline between the cemetery, which lies on land seized from Robert E. Lee, and the Lincoln Memorial, which was erected in the wake of the Civil War.

Tellingly, the administration has yet to unveil a price tag for the arch. While Trump previously claimed that it would be fund by private donations (meaning corrupt pay-to-play bribes) he also said the same thing about his ballroom and is now seeking $1 billion to build that.

“Even if you took private donations, is that how we want to build monuments?” said Gundersen. “To the oligarchs who give money for favors?"

More to the point, what "triumph" is Trump celebrating? His Iran War is a world-historic debacle that will almost certainly end with Iran in direct control of the Strait Hormuz, cementing themselves as a preeminent world power. On the domestic front, it has been one defeat after another for the United States. Trump gutted Medicaid, destroyed our education and scientific research systems, and devastated our economy with harebrained tariffs and costly military adventurism overseas.

The only Trump-related triumph will belong to the American people when we finally kick him and his entire party out of power.

Please ❤️ and share if you oppose Trump's arch!

[Amy Klobuchar @amyklobuchar]

Republican North Carolina Senator Thom Tillis is right that Congress decides how taxpayer dollars are spent — not the president.

And your money shouldn’t go to people convicted of assaulting law enforcement and the Capitol on January 6th.

Until they no longer say it was antifa.

Until they no longer say it was Pelosi.

Until they no longer say it was the FBI.

Until they hold those responsible accountable for what they did and stop trying to give them our tax dollars!
