I'm glad you're still highlighting the Epstein scandal. It keeps being called a conspiracy theory but that's only because finger pointing from MAGA and Trump and his buddies foolishly thought only the deep state rich dems would get caught. Did all of that stuff happen? I think so. And all the ones who didn't get caught yet are not speaking up because they are afraid to be brought to shame and justice themselves. There are more than a few high profile divorces and loss of regal privileges going around that we absolutely know it happened. And it's disgusting and shameful that those involved are still just hoping it will go away. And what does that do? That keeps the good old boy lying cheating networks going. So, that's where I stand. How can we ever have decent true partnerships in marriage, for example, when women and girls continue to be used for the fodder of insecure men? Why are so many women's rights being torn away again? Really. Really?

Donald Trump’s political invincibility has always relied on one thing, his ability to control the narrative. But the Epstein scandal may be the one story he cannot outrun, and this weekend it cracked the foundation of his MAGA base.
The DOJ’s Epstein memo, confirming suicide and denying the existence of a client list, ignited a civil war in MAGA circles. For years, Trump’s movement thrived on the belief that he alone was brave enough to expose an elite pedophile ring. Now, under his own administration’s watch, that promise has collapsed.
MAGA loyalists like Kash Patel and Dan Bongino were elevated into FBI leadership roles with the implicit pledge to deliver “the truth” about Epstein. But that truth never came. Instead, Trump waved the issue away, calling Epstein “a creep” and claiming “nobody cares.”
But MAGA does care. This betrayal cuts deeper than policy. It strikes at the core myth that fueled Trumpism, that he was the savior fighting evil. When that myth cracks, so does the loyalty.
Elon Musk’s public accusation that Trump is in the Epstein files, then quickly deleted, only fanned the flames. Trump’s unhinged Saturday rant blaming “Obama, Hillary, and the Radical Left” felt like desperation, not strength.
The backlash was immediate. He was booed at Turning Point USA. MAGA influencers demanded answers. Even Fox News called the administration’s handling suspicious. For the first time ever, Trump got ratioed on his own platform.
This is more than a PR mess. Trump’s refusal to release the Epstein files could become his Achilles heel. His base expected justice. They now see deflection. If the one man they believed would “drain the swamp” is protecting it, what’s left?
Trump isn’t just losing the narrative. He’s losing the trust that made his movement possible.
It isn't an issue in my mind that Epstein blackmailed Trump, it's an issue that he is featured throughout the videos and photographs at Epstein's gatherings, Trump is a constant at these functions. He is happy with girls that are obviously underage on his lap or caressing his hair putting his hands on them or they putting their hands on him. This is only a small part of his actions at these gatherings I'm speculating, and this is why those files need to be revealed, and the real reason to my thinking, why Trump wants this to become a non-issue!
Trump is one twisted soul. His pathological lies are ridiculous. Instead of governing this country like an normal President, protecting the constitution plus
our Democracy in which he swore an oath to protect yet. It is tragic to see one man destroying this country, sacrifice thousands and thousands of human life's because of MONEY and HATERED. Plus violate the rule of law. Frankly if Dems can use the case of Jeffrey Epstein against Trump, that would be great however, their are several Democratic big shots that are involved.
Musk is a business man. If he continues to instigate Trump by threatening him with the Epstein files , it will continue to cause a division within the mega Republican party. Their fighting amongst themselves. This should be a advantage for Dems , moderate Republicans , Independents and the American people to become united.
I really couldn't care less who is involved, Democrats, trump, or anyone, they need to be revealed. Such a despicable sequence of events must be brought to light.
I'm on the fence on this decision. Dems need to win both houses in the midterms election. Right now , many people will lose their Healthcare benefits with Medicaid. Hospitals are closing. People in this country are living in fear because the color of their skin. Sure your point is valid.
However, so is human survival in this country. This is a smoke screen to keep everyone distracted from the real threats to this country and our Democracy. Plus humanity.
I'm sorry, but if Democrats are tagged in this stuff, well, I can't support them. I realize what's at stake, and I believe that the horror of this administration will open people's eyes for the mid-terms (assuming we'll have mid-terms) and they will vote accordingly.
I understand your point. Regardless if Democrats are involved, what options do we have? To split the Democratic party so Trump and his mega Republican party can win both houses again in the midterm elections? No. We must continue to be united for the American people. Trump and his mega Republicans caused severe damage by cutting Medicaid benefits to people to live and survive. I am not justifying the Democrats involvement.
What the mega Republican did when they passed that big
beautiful bill , was murder to the to innocent children and seniors with disabilities. Eliminating the snap problem to feed children with a decent
meal before they go to school. This bill is so horrific,
It causes
several problems from our safety from disasters to alert the American people etc. NOTHING in the history of this 21st century can be as barbaric what Mega Republicans did to the American people by passing this bill. To put GREED and MONEY over a human life is
I understand the ramifications. However, I will not vote for someone who does not deserve my vote. I'm registered as an Independent, and that's the way I think, independently. Knowing the political doughheads, there are probably plenty from all sides mentioned in those files. I can only hope that if they're revealed, it will show more on the red side than the blue side, which will then be reflected in the next election.
I most definately feel we need to keep the Epstein issue front and center and always associate it with underage girls, pedophilia. This is abhorent behavior along with the death of the many young girls at the mystic camp flood that lost their lives contributed to by the lack of support from the federal government, the main goal of a government, support its citizens. Shame, shame on this regime.
Personally, I don’t believe Epstein , a successful jewish guy working in finance with a predilection for little girls , did the dirty secretly and I don’t believe he was above blackmailing his “ friends”.
Contact your House rep and Senators re: crypto legislation. The US Capitol switchboard # is 202-224-3131.
Call your House rep re: crypto legislation. Here's what to say --
We need you to know that we know that CBDCs (central bank digital currencies) are the only safe form of crypto. Although it's common practice to require Congressional authorization for the Federal reserve to issue CBDCs, the GENIUS Act, which was passed by the Senate, did not do enough and, so, the House now has to make sure the US is only allowing CBDCs. Ask your House rep, "Does H.R. 1919, the Anti-CBDC Surveillance State Act do that?"
If Congress fails to do that, let's at least make sure it's because MAGA/GOP leaders were the majority in both the House and Senate and not because leaders who are Democrats, voted for legislation the crypto industry wants but is not good for the country and we, the people.
Also contact your Senators' offices about the anticipated Senate companion version of the Anti-CBDC Surveillance State Act, to tell her/him and ask her/him the same things.
I've educated myself and others in our community that:
- crypto has been unregulated and legislation/regulation for it is complicated and time-consuming
- the GENIUS Act which the Senate passed did not do enough and should be called "Crypto Corruption Bill"
- the lobby for crypto is huge, powerful, well-funded yet it shouldn't drive our elected leaders' decisions who must represent us and what's best for our country and us
- those same people behind the crypto lobby are also for making America White again
I will work with others to primary any of my elected leaders who fail to support legislation/regulations for safe crypto -- meaning, CDBGs only -- because doing otherwise will do serious damage to our economy, just like the "big beautiful budget bill" is going to do. If we lose this battle, let's lose it because MAGA/GOP leaders were in the majority in the House and Senate, not because some Democrats voted the wrong way.
Good luck getting through to a live staff person when making your calls! Voicemails are fine. Sending info via email/contact forms works, also.
Epstein was a brilliant vile and disgusting human being. It is looking like thro documentaries that he had 'camera's everywhere !' so he got paid for who knows what and how much - usually 450 million - that's A biggly fee ! AND then with camera's is LEVERAGE AND INSURANCE. The kind that perhaps likley got him killed. But 'leverage' and blackmail is trumps SWEET SPOT - one he has used and continues to use all his life. What ever UGE INFLUENCES told trump to take the heat and KEEP QUIET are powerful indeed ....what a tangled tangle web they wove. trump took secret documents to Mar a Lago...he is keep this leverage for himself or his wealth or ...meghhhh his life ???
Good point. Let's not forget all the Classified Documents that trump and associates stole on his way out of our White House. I am positive that trump is using them for leverage with foreign countries. Who knows how much information was given to Putin, Orban, and other autocratic/dictatorships? Let's face it trump and the trump family are out to rip off as much as possible in monetary gain while trump is president. No, lack of capitals is not an error. It is my way to express disrespect. Bye the way, what happened to that airplane that Quatar "gave" to trump ( and family)? It's against the Laws of our Constitution to accept gifts from foreign countries.
I know it's hard to keep track of the everyday assault on Our Constitution but try to keep your eye on the ball. Keep cool. Remember, chaos is the name of the game to destroy a Democracy.
The truth is there for all to see and has been for some time for anyone who cares to look. And for now, MAGA has a problem. But will they in a year, when midterms are upon us? I suspect Trump will get away with this one, too. Is there anyone luckier?
The inability of these cultists to see what is so obvious to anyone objectively looking at the available evidence is astounding. Just astounding. I'll give you a hint: His name rhymes with Chump.
I cannot believe that I am supporting Maga on this and that I am behind Musk – release the files. I have a funny feeling that there’s going to be a man with the initials DJT mentioned in them somewhere.

Deflect and inflame another situation has been trump's go to. It isn't working this time. Thanks for the great information, Heather Cox Richardson!
Gonna be interesting to see how this plays out.
Personally, I don’t believe Epstein , a successful jewish guy working in finance with a predilection for little girls , did the dirty secretly and I don’t believe he was above blackmailing his “ friends”.
I trust you always. Epstein files MAGA wants.
