WOW. MTG revealed to the NYT that when she threatened to identify the names of men in the Epstein files who abused women, Trump called her and screamed. Everyone in the office suite could hear him yelling at her on speakerphone. He told her, “My friends will get hurt.”

A Hampton Inn in Asheville just canceled my family's reservation because our address (incorrectly) showed Asheville—and the hotel bars locals within 50 miles.
When I asked why, they said, "because of our homeless population," adding that most hotels here have similar policies.
This is outrageous.

The rich and powerful don’t get their wages garnished when they default on a loan. They declare bankruptcy and end up paying pennies on the dollar, if anything. Like Trump did many, many times.

Sean Duffy says he now has veto power over appropriations passed by Congress and signed into law. He is the dictator over infrastructure funds. If you do something he doesn’t like, you lose the funds passed by Congress. bsky.app/profile/atru...

Let’s be clear: the Brown shooter wasn’t trans, wasn’t hunting Jews or conservatives, and it certainly wasn’t the Muslim Palestinian student Brown briefly erased from its site. Those were conspiracies, boosted by prominent right-wing accounts, and they caused real harm.

It's time for YOU to take to the streets, nonviolently this time, to protest among other things, the Trump Admin's lack of transparency as they withhold the Epsteine AND the killing of the Venezuelan shipwreck survivors files. Democrats can cheer you on, but it's your turn to stand up to Trump
