John Roberts is only a couple of steps from finishing off Democracy. He abandoned the Constitution years ago, no-one reported it straight up. the right wing lie machine continues to win.

Witnesses and reports claim Epstein had photos of Trump with half-naked minors. At a hearing, Pam Bondi refused to deny it. If the photos do not exist, why not say so? Because lying to Congress is a crime. This level of transparency should not be optional —her silence speaks volumes. /2

These are some of the most flippable House seats in the country.

These Republicans either:

🤏 Won their seats by 4% or less in '24
🔵 Represent districts that also voted for Harris

Democrats can flip the House in '26. And if we win, the GOP loses their majority—and the ability to push their agenda.

Barron Trump, aged 19, reportedly walked away with $80 million from Bitcoin and crypto bets.
And get this: he placed a multi-million-dollar short just 30 minutes before his father’s tariff announcement.

Let me tell you, we have a thug in charge of The United States and if we don’t wake up we may not have a United States.”
