It’s now been 41 days since the Epstein files were supposed to be released. The Trump administration is protecting pedophiles. He must be impeached for this.

Friends, I urge you to not confuse mocking Trump with defeating him or MAGA. He has unprecedented power, and his inner circle is confident they can intimidate or crush anyone. Remember, he has never been held accountable for anything. He’s very good at being bad.

If you live in the US and you’re white, unless you’re very lucky, you’re dealing with the awareness that a good-size chunk of your family not only would go Nazi if given the chance, but were given the chance and took it without any hesitation, and are Nazis now, so that’s what they were all along.

It's not quite the most pressing issue at the moment, but the American people absolutely have a right to know the names of the federal officials who shot and killed a man peacefully protesting, who was on his knees, prone in the street when they shot him in the back.

A dominant theme of Hitler's speeches in the late 1930s is that Germany was surrounded by threats. These threats were imaginary: it was Nazi Germany that threatened other nations. But they were used to justify pre-emptive attacks. Trump is following this script.
