The Americans Who Saw All This Coming—but Were Ignored and Maligned
Call them the Cassandras: the people—mostly not white and male—who smelled the fascism all over Trump from jump street. Why were they “alarmists,” and how did “anti-alarmism” become cool?

I lived in NYC in the 80s. Trump clearly was a liar, conman, a fool and a joke. In 2015 when he came down the escalator and had his anti-immigrant diatribe I called him a fascist.
This is a long but vital article of how we got here and what we do now.

We need to retake the Senate, House, and Presidency. When we have that, we need a constitutional amendment overturning Citizens United. It would be interesting to see how many Democrats would vote against their deep pocket corporate owners, I mean donors.

Massie on Howard Lutnick: "He should just resign. Three people in Great Britain resigned for less than what we've seen Howard Lutnick lie about. He clearly went to the island, if we believe what's in these files. He was in business with Jeffrey Epstein."

The US deficit is approaching ww2 levels as a percent of GDP.
Because of the “Big Beautiful Bill” that GOP voted for.
We are spending more on INTEREST than on anything else including the military.
This is a time bomb, and the GOP is responsible. Fiscal conservative my ass

Why are the comedy team of Witkoff and Kushner the lead negotiators on …. ANYTHING???
No Senate approval. No confirmation process.
The only expertise these two have is the ability to enrich themselves.

When the U.S. Supreme Court said that you could detain people based on their race, their accent, or the language they spoke… there is nothing to preclude ICE from doing that while you’re standing in line getting ready to cast a ballot.

The Obamas are competent, classy, loving, Harvard and Princeton graduates, loved by many, not on the Epstein files, got the Nobel Peace Prize, and gave us a steady economy to boot.

Blumenthal: ICE and CBP are out of control. The practices of this agency have to be completely overhauled. It’s like a corporation in bankruptcy—either dissolved or reorganized. They’re morally bankrupt, legally bankrupt, and politically bankrupt.

Ten countries have launched investigations related to the released Epstein files.
Norway, UK, France, Lithuania, Latvia, Sweden, Australia, North Macedinia, Turkey, Poland.
Conspicuously absent is the United States, the epicenter of this scandal.

NEW: A federal judge in Oregon issued a sweeping rebuke of the Justice Department’s nationwide push to seize state voter rolls, ruling that the department can no longer be presumed to be acting in good faith and warning that its conduct threatens voters and states’ rights.
Federal judge rules DOJ can ‘no longer’ be trusted in voter roll crusade
The judge pointed to a letter from Bondi to Minnesota that tied federal immigration enforcement to demands for voter data as the smoking gun.

There has to be an investigation into the many individuals who committed heinous crimes alongside Epstein.
There should be a special prosecutor, or a congressional investigation, that looks into the crimes and the ongoing cover-up. It has to happen.
