Nobody knows more about Epstein than @jkbjournalist.bsky.social. She’s absolutely right: the American people can’t lose sight of the fact that the Trump administration is covering up for pedophiles. Keep the pressure up. Follow the money.

⚖️ Julie K. Brown: Scott Bessent is blocking Sen. Wyden’s effort to look at Epstein’s taxes and financial records. They claim to be transparent. Why aren’t they letting investigators with the House Oversight Committee look at the money piece of Epstein’s crime? #Epstein @marcofoster.bsky.social

Trump's DOJ just ended its prosecution of the bank that helped Iran dodge U.S. sanctions, as what looks like a favor to his dictator buddy Erdogan. Trump sacrificed U.S. servicemembers' lives and spiked gas prices to attack Iran, but he lets Iran's bankers off scot-free. It's all a grift.

Trump signs order seeking to curb vote-by-mail in bid to control state election laws • Oregon Capital Chronicle

Congress may soon expand surveillance powers that allow the government to collect Americans’ data without a warrant. Sen. Ron Wyden says Donald Trump is the last person who should get that power.
