ICE is already showing up near voting sites, bolstering lawsuit against armed agents at polls
Among the newest examples is an ICE detention that took place in the same area California voters had to pass through to reach a ballot drop box.

NEW: Maybe it's time to take a good look at all these deaths in the Epstein-Trump orbit. jkbjournalist.substack.com/p/dead-men-t...
Dead men tell no Epstein-Trump tales
When witnesses, whistleblowers and accusers die, it’s time to look at whether they have anything in common. Here is a list of some of the recent deaths.

He is preparing to blame democrats for his economy 🤡
Trump: "If the Democrats win, you will have a 1929-style economic depression in our country. That's what's going to happen. Because nobody knows numbers better than me."

Not much is bipartisan anymore
Schmitt: Did you attend a concert wearing an anti-Trump shirt?
Smith: I wore a “No Kings” shirt. It used to be a bipartisan American sentiment.

Wolfers: Imagine we had a female president who was so idiosyncratic and so moody and whose policy decisions were up and down like crazy... Could you just imagine the coverage?
It’s utterly bizarre what we allow to happen.

Men everywhere are saying … I wonder how she was dressed 🤡
These 7 men at Cornell drugged & raped a woman for hours, then called their friends to come rape her.
2 men got expelled. 5 had to write letter of apology. 0 faced any consequences. Men throughout the societal ladder are complicit. Women are not safe around men.

President Trump told voters to pretend he's on the ballot. Apparently they're listening: Republicans coast to coast are getting pulled under by a violent undertow fueled by Trump's unpopularity.

Five corporations control 90% of the US media.
Airlines have merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today.
A handful of companies control the pharmaceutical industry.
Four giants control 80% of meat processing.
The evidence of corporate concentration is everywhere.
