Sanders will also be making stops in IL, MI, and WI this weekend. The fired-up crowd gave multiple standing ovations. Slamming billionaires, Sanders stated: “Our job is not to allow them to divide us up, because you don’t have to have a PhD in mathematics to know that 99% is a hell of a lot bigger number than 1%.” PRITZKER’S DOING GOOD Gov. JB Pritzker announced that Illinois is launching the “first of its kind” hotline to provide “free legal advice to protect” the LGBTQ+ community. Pritzker said: “With all the things that are coming at all of us, for us to be able to go on offense, and not be on defense, is what I love about this state.” We need more Governors fighting for us like this. FLORIDIANS PUSH BACK Florida officials ordered that a rainbow crosswalk in Orlando, FL—part of the Pulse nightclub shooting memorial—be painted over. What a cruel and pointless act. In response, the community got together to hold a protest and remake the crosswalk. One of the organizers stated: “We’re sick of the fascism that is trying to destroy our LGBTQ+ community ... This is a very sacred site … we said, ‘No, we’re not going to let that happen!'” MUSK MUST A judge ruled Elon Musk must face a lawsuit that alleges his PAC lied about his $1 million election sweepstakes. Good. What he was doing should be illegal. TRUMP’S EPSTEIN COVER-UP CONTINUES Trump with Ghislaine Maxwell at a September 2000 NYC fashion show The DoJ sent a handful of the Epstein files to the House Oversight Committee yesterday. Dem Rep. Ro Khanna said just last night that the DoJ released “less than 1%” of the Epstein files. You’ve got to be kidding me. The DoJ also released their recent interview with Epstein’s accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell, and it’s complete garbage. In it, Maxwell states: “[Trump] was never inappropriate with anybody … In the times that I was with him, he was a gentleman in all respects.” Someone wants a pardon. I’ve been covering Trump’s Epstein ties for more than 9 years, and I’ll keep pushing until we have every document and hear from all the survivors. On top of our daily news briefs, I run one of the largest social media operations against Trump. This week we trended multiple hashtags, generated hundreds of millions of impressions, and took on anti-Zelensky propaganda while he was in DC.

District A Councilor Fidelina Santiago, 41, pleaded guilty to four counts each of voting unlawfully, interfering with a voter and obstructing voting on Wednesday in Essex County Superior Court, the district attorney’s office said in a Thursday press release. Prosecutors in the case decided to drop an additional four counts of conspiracy to vote or attempt to vote illegally. Santiago did not immediately respond to a request for comment on her guilty plea Thursday afternoon. The case was referred to the district attorney’s office by Massachusetts Secretary of State Bill Galvin’s office, the district attorney’s office said. Authorities have not specified how Santiago committed these offenses. Santiago beat her opponent in the November 2023 election by about 16 points, according to the city of Lawrence’s official election results, Santiago is due back in court for sentencing on Oct. 9. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/lawrence-city-councilor-pleads-guilty-to-voter-fraud-in-election-that-put-her-in-office/ar-AA1KYXf2 THERE'S VIDEO ON THE LINK: THEY TOOK MAIL-IN BALLOTS OUT OF MAILBOXES AT HOMES:  2 Lawrence women, including elected official, charged with voter fraud City Councilor-elect Fidelina Santiago and another woman, Jennifer Lopez, are each facing 16 charges related to alleged voter fraud in last month's election in Lawrence, Massachusetts An elected official and another woman have been indicted on voter fraud charges following last month's municipal election in Lawrence, Massachusetts. The office of Essex County District Attorney Paul Tucker said Wednesday that a grand jury had indicted City Councilor-elect Fidelina Santiago and Jennifer Lopez. Each faces the same 16 charges, including four counts each of illegal voting or attempt to vote; conspiracy to vote or attempt to vote illegally; unlawful interference with voters; and obstruction of voting. Santiago won her race in District A on Nov. 7, according to the city's official election results, receiving 537 votes while her opponent, Vladimir Acevado, received 385. Prosecutors did not immediately share details of the allegations against Santiago and Lopez, but noted that they investigated after a referral from the office of Secretary of State William Galvin regarding "concerning allegations of fraudulent voting associated with the November 2023 local election." NBC10 Boston reported last month that video appeared to show a woman removing ballots from the mailbox outside a Lawrence man's home. Galvin said he and the district attorney's office were looking into the incident. "We're going to get all the ballots out of Lawrence, we're going to get all the mail-in ballots and we're going to review everything and all the provisionals and reconcile the list, and if further investigation contacting some of the people who allegedly voted by mail needs to be done, we will do it," Galvin said at the time. https://www.nbcboston.com/news/local/2-lawrence-women-including-elected-official-charged-with-voter-fraud/3225350/ VOTED IN NEW HAMPSHIRE LIVE IN MASSACHUSETTS: Couple From Massachusetts Plead Guilty To Voter Fraud In Concord CONCORD, NH — Two former Concord residents who own rental property in the city but live out of state pleaded guilty to wrongful voting charges on Thursday.

We have protests to do. Sign up! https://hotbuttons.substack.com/p/protest-sign-sign-everywhere-a-sign?r=3m1bs My three words to describe Trump’s week: Owned By Gavin 💪 🤣 Maxwell said trump was always a gentleman, do you think this a lie? 🤣🤣I do, what a joke, do they really think we are that stupid? Faced with a 20 year prison sentence, what would you say? Ghislaine Maxwell recruited, groomed & SEXUALLY ABUSED CHILDREN!  DAFFY DON has behaved like a BOORISH TURD when meeting with World Leaders....'behaved like a gentleman' ?  GHISLAINE MAXWELL has perjured herself, known LIAR, sentencing documents included that she's a LIAR.  Pritzker is so great...I'm very concerned about the felon's statements about invading other cities like Chicago. I hope they're ready. And thanks Bernie! Keep up the fight. Gov. Pritzker is quickly becoming one of my heroes. His courage in standing against the criminal regime in Washington is impressive. I’ll stand with him all the way. … Trump then talked about his military takeover of DC: “After we do this, we will go to another location and make it safe too. Chicago is a mess. That will probably be our next one after this. They are screaming for us to come. African-American ladies, beautiful ladies are saying, ‘Please President Trump, come to Chicago, please.’ I think Chicago will be next, and then we will help with NYC. I have calls from politicians begging me to go to Chicago, begging me to go to NY, begging me to go to LA.” … IL Gov JB Pritzker responded: “Things People are Begging for: 1. Cheaper groceries 2. No Medicaid and SNAP cuts 3. Release of the Epstein Files. Things People are NOT begging for: 1. An authoritarian power grab of major cities.” https://www.meidasplus.com/p/today-in-politics-bulletin-192-82225?utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web Anyone notice his face is really swollen and then it’s at times looks dehydrated. That with his swollen ankles (not from a bone spur) I’m betting he doesn’t last the year. You just know he’s screwing around with drugs as well, his affect changes too often and oxygen just ain’t reaching that miserable old brain. Yep, he's old, demented and ill. What's Stephen Miller, Kash Patel, Border Barbie going to so without him??? Are they strong enough to maintain the coup that the orange blight started. And this morning it was reported that he had discolored hands and bandages and make up on his hand, like perhaps IV or something else. EPSTEIN COVER-UP! There are pieces missing that would not be included in the stack of papers CORRUPT PAM BONDI has released. The IRS failed to prosecute. The FBI cleaned out EPSTEIN'S ISLAND - where is the information?                   There have been suggestions of RUSSIAN INTELLIGENCE involvement.  This is NATIONAL SECURITY. We know that PUTIN has EPSTEIN TAPES. Russian TV periodically posts provocative photos of MALARIA TRUMP. Why has her previous history been eliminated/sanitized?  Who made those massive WIRE TRANSFERS? JPMORGAN CHASE knew what EPSTEIN was doing & failed to report, just as they failed to report BERNIE MADOFF. There were email exchanges indicating they may have participated.  TRUMP twice on public tv revealed TOP SECRET INTELLIGENCE to Russians - what else did he disclose?  Trump has no allegiance to the U.S.  KEEP ASKING QUESTIONS!
