“The moral and ethical response to the Iranian regime killing protesters is not to kill hundreds of thousands more of them ourselves. We are the bad guys now.” @lebassett.bsky.social nails it in her latest piece. open.substack.com/pub/laurabas...

LIFTING SANCTIONS ON IRANIAN OIL MAKES TOTAL SENSE, if you don’t think about it. Trump’s at war with Iran. And lifting sanctions on their oil. Sanctions that have been in place since 1979. So… we’re fighting them and helping them raise money to fight back at the same time.

Basically goal of Trump’s war in Iran is now to reopen Strait of Hormuz & bring down gas prices (both of which happened due to war) leaving in place new Iranian regime that hates US more, is more extreme, has more money, better equipped to fight US, with our military depleted & alliances shattered?

Here's what I believe: no more business as usual in the Senate. We shouldn't be voting to proceed to normal legislation until Republicans schedule a debate and a vote and on a declaration of war against Iran. Let's see if Trump has the votes to authorize war. I bet he doesn't.

They just like stopped releasing the Epstein files. Despite being required to by law. And nobody is doing anything about it. The federal government is protecting rich and powerful child rapists, including the one in the Oval Office.

This matters bc as @hcrichardson.bsky.social mentions today in her video statement on this act, by ignoring Congress, only informing certain Republicans, zero Dems, etc., he's effectively pronouncing himself the leader of a one-party dictatorship, flouting int'l rules-based order & US constitution.

“My friends will get hurt.” - Donald Trump Donald’s true colors shine through: Protecting the rich and powerful and blocking accountability. Trump’s Epstein cover-up must stop. Justice for the survivors is our priority—and what the law requires.
A post from Aidan McLaughlin reads: MTG tells the Times that when she threatened to expose the men who abused Epstein’s victims, Trump called to scream at her.

“My friends will get hurt,” he said.

Trump’s clumsy and obvious coverup means the story will not die. Prolonging a damaging story intentionally means that the truth is far worse. There is almost certainly evidence that Trump sexually abused minors. And he’s now using the government to hide that from the public.

The simplest possible explanation for the Trump administration's actions is that Trump sexually abused minors with Jeffrey Epstein and there is further evidence in the files he's trying to cover up.
