Trump launched “Trump TV” from the White House. Within hours, fewer than 1,800 people were watching live. An Associated Press U.N. stream had more than seven times the audience. Tough opening night.

Epstein survivor Dani Bensky on meeting with Blanche:
"Todd Blanche treated the meeting as a mere 'check-the-box' exercise intended to secure votes for his confirmation. He danced around his wording, repeatedly interrupted us and could not commit to anything that would demonstrate good faith."

My takeaway from that speech is that we are headed down the road of Trump trying to outright rig elections. It probably won't work, but he's going for it.

Epstein survivor: I found my name in two places in the first Epstein Files release. In the next release, the redactions were far worse. The Files displayed my name, phone number, and more. These documents contain disturbing yet incomplete accounts of my abuse. It was humiliating.

At least 75 career federal officials who’d played important roles in elections have left, been fired or been reassigned. In their place are roughly two dozen people Trump has installed in positions that could affect elections.
Ten of them actively worked to reverse the 2020 vote.
