DOJ releases Epstein files with accusations against Trump Over the course of four interviews in 2019, a woman told the FBI that Epstein and Trump sexually abused her in the 1980s.

The woman who told FBI agents that Trump sexually assaulted her when she was as young as 13 recalled that she and her mother received death threats afterward, with callers saying “we know where you’re at, you need to keep your mouth shut."

Texas primary exposed GOP scheme to rig the 2026 midterms | Will Bunch Conspiracy theories, confusing rules, and right-wing judges: A Dallas voting fiasco is a 5-alarm fire for U.S. democracy.

It's no secret that Trump's GOP wants to put its fingers on the scale of democracy and mess up the 2026 midterms, but how?

Rooted in conspiracy theories, a deliberate effort to confuse voters, and judicial meddling, Dallas exposed their vile scheme

DOJ is trying to convince a judge that RFK Jr.'s decisions are untouchable "Totally unreviewable" is how the Trump administration apparently views Kennedy's actions as health secretary.

A lawyer for the Justice Department argued on Wednesday that Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s vaccine decisions are protected from legal scrutiny.

So much so that the Trump administration appears to believe that Kennedy’s actions are “totally unreviewable."

Nearly 80% of our @law360union.bsky.social has signed onto a letter demanding that @lexisnexis.bsky.social cut ties with ICE. Read more here....

If I'm reading this right, *50% to 90%* of voters at high-turnout locations are being redirected to their precincts????

If that is causing voters to just give up, it would explain the massive undercount for Crockett thus far today in Dallas.

The situation in Minneapolis: even though the ICE presence in the city is greatly reduced, and national attention has moved on, a huge portion of our population remains essentially in hiding, devastating the schools and economy. In particular, much of the education system remains in crisis

Senator calls for DEA to provide info on "incredibly disturbing" Epstein drug investigation Federal drug enforcement investigators targeted Jeffrey Epstein and 14 others in a yearslong probe first reported by CBS News.

This is a big one. A newly uncovered document has revealed the existence of a mystery Epstein investigation. It was spearheaded by the DEA and involved drug trafficking and money laundering. Epstein was one of 15 targets. The other 14 names are redacted. I've got questions.

This is, of course, why they did this. Regardless, protesting is good. Go get ‘em. Stand up and shout.

The UAE secretly paid Trump $187 million. Money in his pocket personally. And then Trump overrode decades of national security objections to selling Nvidia chips to UAE because we feared UAE would send the chips to China.

Corruption has consequences.

Trump’s Department of Education has moved to strip nurses of our professional status and make school more expensive — but there's still time to push back.

An ICE agent shot and killed Ruben Ray Martinez, a US citizen and San Antonio resident, in March 2025. Then ICE and the Texas Department of Public Safety covered it up. He was 23 years old. I am calling for a full investigation into this shooting, including why there was an 8-month cover up.
