Notice DOJ doesn't talk about its efforts to obtain state voter files anymore. They are 0-20 in those cases and today is the beginning of the quiet period -- states can no longer do systematic removals of names from the voter rolls. TLDR: We won!🥳

A new Senate investigation says JPMorgan, Deutsche Bank and Bank of America processed massive sums tied to Jeffrey Epstein despite glaring red flags. Powerful institutions helped keep his operation running and every one of them must be held accountable. Follow the money, release everything.

NAVALNY: “Because of Putin, thousands of 🇺🇦 & 🇷🇺 citizens will die… Putin & his senile thieves are the main threat to Russia… the Kremlin is making you poorer… to save 🇷🇺 is to fight for the removal of Putin and his kleptocrats, and peace…” Sound familiar, Americans?

When urbanists take pictures of a Paris street (like Rue de Rivoli) showing all the people on bikes now taking advantage of protected infrastructure, it’s not just because we “like bikes.” It’s because we’re picturing the gridlock if they were driving cars. And the public cost, pollution, noise…

Everyone can see it: Blanche is a corrupt 🤡 lapdog who will only keep doing whatever it takes to hide Trump's involvement in the #Epstein files. Keep 📣 MoCs, tell them a vote for him would confirm pedo enabler status, & their constituents are watching. 202-224-3121 democracy.io#/

Lawyers predict ‘more suppression and no active investigations’ but victims’ groups determined to continue fight
