Yup. This is Monte Mader on the argument that Biden didn't release Epstein files (as if it's an own). www.instagram.com/reel/Dc8wSUS...

Rep. Melanie Stansbury (NM-01)@repstansbury.bsky.social · 4d agoIn a first for our Epstein investigation, not only did this witness storm out of an interview, but he is in active defiance of two subpoenas and is now trying to sue the Oversight Committee. This is outrageous. We will hold him in contempt. ⬇️

Some parts of this may be produced (AI). Does that mean we should disregard the entire thing? Serious question. I'm old and can't always tell. It is terrifying and I'm sure that's the point. I worry about this happening in US midterms (with more violent outcomes, for voter intimidation).

Most Americans are horrified and disgusted by what tRump is doing. In sixty days our elections should put the brakes on his fascism-we are not hopeless yet. The Canadians know us best. Follow their lead, they are fearless. Begin your own investigations. Don't give him any rest. And fuck Russia.
I suspect that paid accounts are on Bluesky. Part 2. Why? I'm noticing a trend to get us to believe that we can't change anything. I actually saw an account today say that Congress can't change things. And they suggested that posts that push for change are rage bait. What's that about? 🧵
