FOX: Would you declassify the 9/11 files? TRUMP: Yes. FOX: Would you declassify the JFK files? TRUMP: Yes. FOX: Would you declassify the Epstein files? TRUMP: Well... uh... I don't know about the Epstein files as much... Why is Trump hesitant to release the Epstein files? 🤔 First, Fox News edited out Trump saying he might keep the Epstein files sealed during their television broadcast. However, because the internet never forgets, the interview in its entirety was posted that included his full response where he gets flustered and says he may not release the Epstein files after all because it might "hurt people." (Yeah, hurt people like him) Now, newly released transcripts from Jeffrey Epstein's 2006 prosecution suggest a direct link between the notorious sex trafficker and former President Trump. #DemVoice1 #wtpBLUE #DemsUnited #ProudBlue

Trump cancels 20 semi-truck loads of food deliveries en route to Ohio food bank. Each truck holds 100,000 lbs—so that’s $2 million worth of food—about a week’s worth for Northeast Ohio. "This food is just going to sit and spoil... And that would be the loss of 2 million, 3 million pounds of food," explained Food Bank CEO Kristin Warzocha. They only discovered the food deliveries were canceled when they checked the website for USDA’s Food Assistance Program —no official notice was provided. After Trump signed executive order last week, the USDA completely eliminated the Local Food Purchase Assistance and Local Food for Schools Programs.

Here is Ivana Trump's story taken word for word from divorce court documents. This happened. We can't ignore it. "Your doctor has ruined me!" he screams at Ivana. Donald flings her down onto the bed, then pins back her arms and grabs her by the hair. The part of her head he is grabbing corresponds to the spot on his head where a scalp reduction operation has been done. Donald starts ripping out Ivana's hair by the handful as if he's trying to make her feel the same kind of pain that he is feeling. Ivana starts crying and screaming. The entire bed is covered with strands of her golden locks. But Donald is not finished. He rips her clothes and unzips his pants. Then he jams his penis inside her for the first time in more than sixteen months. Ivana is terrified. This is not lovemaking. This is not romantic sex. It is a violent assault. She later describes what Donald is doing to her in no uncertain terms. According to the version she repeats to some of her closest confidantes, "He raped me." When Donald finally pulls out, Ivana jumps up from the bed. Then she runs upstairs to her mother's room. She locks the door and stays there crying for the rest of the night. The next morning Ivana musters up the courage to return to the master bedroom. Donald is there waiting for her. He leaves no doubt that he knows exactly what he did to her the night before. As she looks at him in horror at her ripped-out hair scattered all over the bed, he glares at her and asks with a menacing casualness, "Does it hurt?" Don't let MAGA close their eyes and cover their ears to these facts. Pass this on. Yes, I'm telling you there's a chance. #DemVoice1 #wtpBLUE #DemsUnited #ProudBlue

Idaho teacher ordered to remove signs saying "Everyone Is Welcome Here!" School district lawyer said because the hands pictured were different skin tones, "not everyone would agree they are welcome." Adding, "In today’s political environment, it's considered a personal opinion ." The West Ada School Board voted that her signs violate the policy requiring "classroom content to be neutral." Sarah Imana has taught world civilization to 6th graders at Lewis and Clark Middle School for 4 years without having any parent complain about her signs.

Epstein files?—We have this.👇 TRUMP: Known Paris Hilton since she's 12—her parents are friends. STERN: Even at 12 you were, "Wow she's hot!" TRUMP: First time she walked in at 12 I said, "Who the hell is that!" STERN: Have you seen her sex video? TRUMP: Melania showed it to me. Paris Hilton famously supported Trump back during 2016 election—saying "I've known him since I was a little girl, so, yes I voted for him." However, just this past June 2025 she said she lied and only "pretended" to vote for Trump—because he was "an old family friend." Release all the Epstein files. #DemsUnited

Detroit mom takes wrong turn on way to Costco—detained by ICE along with 2 U.S. citizen children. Sarahi said it "felt like a kidnapping" locked in windowless room for 6 days—her children age 1 & 5. Given 1 cup of ramen noodles to eat for the 3 of them—and no diapers or clothes for her daughters. Denied access to legal counsel—her children held in conditions deemed not acceptable for minors according to U.S. protocols. By the family's 5th day in detention, her daughter's fever was rising and her other child had developed a cough. "I don't know where I am. They won't tell me. I only know I am under a bridge. It's a big bridge, it goes to Canada." On the 6th day, she was suddenly released with a June court date—but she is still worried about how many other people are being kept locked up under that bridge. #DemVoice1 #wtpBLUE #DemsUnited

"They’re lying! They’re not in uniform," she yelled. "Don’t let them in, they don’t have a warrant." Christine Cariño started video recording the agents & intervened—just before the young boy was about to let the agents into his home—which would have made his stepfather vulnerable to arrest.

January 6th Capitol rioter REFUSES PARDON from who she calls "Felon Trump!" Pamela Hemphill, who has served 60 days in prison, went further in CNN interview: "Donald Trump should be the one in prison. He's not any different than his friend Epstein." "This huge gaslighting smear scheme campaign going on telling me it was a peaceful protest. I was there — I was there when they pushed those officers, and when they stepped on my head — and it was an officer who saved my life that day." The grandmother in her 70s told The Daily Beast that she's not going to be bullied by MAGA anymore — who went so far as calling her probation officer to try and get her in trouble.

Trump doesn't want you to hear Katie Johnson's full sworn testimony, so I'm posting it here. Listen for yourself. Pass it on. She did drop her lawsuit, but never changed her story about being assaulted by Trump & Epstein. Trump threatened to make her family "disappear" if she continued her lawsuit. It’s common for victims to decide to stay anonymous when facing serious threats and more victimization by the predators who attacked them. Dropping a lawsuit does not mean a victim is admitting that nothing happened. I'm voting for the prosecutor over the felon in 2024! #DemVoice1 #wtpBLUE #DemsUnited #ProudBlue

Ohio is 2nd state to introduce "Conception Begins at Erection Act" — makes it illegal for men to have sex without intent to make baby. Rep. Anita Somani introduced bill making it felony to "discharge semen without the intent to fertilize." •$1,000 first offense •$5,000 second offense •$10,000 any subsequent offense In between performing multiple surgeries as a practicing OBGYN, State Rep. Anita Somani explained: "If you think it's absurd to regulate men, then you should think it's equally absurd to regulate women." There are some exceptions, such as when protection or contraceptions are used during sex. It also doesn’t apply when an individual is masturbating, donating sperm, or if the intercourse takes place between members of the LGBTQ+ community and thus doesn't "produce ova."

FBI agent writes urgent letter warning Americans about Trump. Agent who stopped terrorist airline plot, prevented school shooting, and infiltrated sex traffickers — on top of investigating Jan 6 — has a dire warning you. Full letter transcript👇 Uncommon Sense was a Common Vice Those with knowledge of the United States Marine Corps will recognize the irony of this title. I wish its words were not true, but as I write this, I believe they are. Currently, there is an effort to cull a significant number of career Special Agents from the Federal Bureau of Investigation. This is an unthinkable action that will gravely undermine the security of the nation well beyond what many of our citizens are aware of. For those seeking to raise their awareness, I offer this vignette, free of political bias or moral judgment. It is not about any one person, but an amalgamation of multiple FBI Special Agents. I am the coach of your child’s soccer team. I sit next to you on occasion in religious devotion. I am a member of the PTA. With friends, you celebrated my birthday. I collected your mail and took out your trash while you were away from home. I played a round of golf with you. I am a veteran. I am the average neighbor in your community. This is who you see and know. However, there is a part of my life that is a mystery to you and prompts a natural curiosity about my profession. This is the quiet side of me that you do not know: I orchestrated a clandestine operation to secure the release of an allied soldier held captive by the Taliban. I prevented an ISIS terrorist from boarding a commercial aircraft. I spent 3 months listening to phone intercepts in real time to gather evidence needed to dismantle a violent drug gang. I recruited a source to provide critical intelligence on Russian military activities in Africa. I rescued a citizen being tortured to near death by members of an Outlaw Motorcycle Gang. I interceded and stopped a juvenile planning to conduct a school shooting. I spent multiple years monitoring the activities of deep-cover foreign intelligence officers, leading to their arrest and deportation. I endured extensive hardship to infiltrate a global child trafficking organization. I have been shot in the line of duty. Something else about me, I was assigned to investigate a potential crime. Like all previous cases I have investigated, this one met every legal standard of prediction and procedure. Without bias, I upheld my oath to this country and the Constitution and collected the facts. I collected the facts in a manner to neither prove innocence nor guilt, but to arrive at resolution. I am now sitting in my home, listening to my children play and laugh in the backyard, oblivious to the prospect that their father may be fired in a few days. Fired for conducting a legally authorized investigation. Fired for doing the job that he was hired to do. I have to wonder, when I am gone, who will do the quiet work that is behind the facade of your average neighbor? #DemVoice1 #wtpBLUE #DemsUnited #ProudBlue

Trump caught lying about knowing Prince Andrew & Epstein files—by Fox News. TRUMP: I don't know Prince Andrew, but it's a tough story. I don't know him, no. FOX: Here is a photo of Trump alongside the Prince and First Lady at his party at Mar-a-Lago that Epstein also attended. Trump claimed that he did not know Prince Andrew—but a resurfaced interview with People magazine from 2000 says otherwise—where Trump described Prince Andrew as "a lot of fun to be with." The article was re-released in 2019—just one day after he had denied knowing Prince Andrew during this press conference. #DemVoice1 #wtpBLUE #DemsUnited

ICE detain U.S. citizen outside grocery store—beat him with baton, shove his head into the ground & give him a concussion. "I told them where I was born, I had an ID, a social, a birth certificate," he said. "They didn't' care about none of that." Now in the hospital after his family says he passed out twice & couldn't stop vomiting—video evidence shows he must have been given a concussion by agents during arrest. Angel Pina was racially profiled for arrest during an ICE raid at a Stater Bros. Markets store in Ontario, California. #DemVoice1 #wtpBLUE #DemsUnited

ICE is demanding doctor leave U.S. immediately—she is U.S. citizen born in Pennsylvania. Unlike 2 immigration lawyers who received email—the doctor never had anything to do with immigration in her life. "I really have no idea how my email got on that list" unless it was fraud. Lisa Anderson—a U.S. citizen born in Pennsylvania— now feels like she has to carry her U.S. passport on her at all times. She is also reaching out to an immigration attorney—something she never imagined she'd ever have to do as a U.S. citizen. "It does make me concerned there are a lot more people out there like me who probably also thought this was spam, who probably didn’t realize, 'I have a problem,'" she said. #DemVoice1 #wtpBLUE #DemsUnited

Epstein introduced her to Trump. This story leads the primetime news in Australia — Why is our own media hiding it from us!? Stacey Williams: "He pulled me into him and started groping me. He put his hands all over my breasts, my waist, my butt, and I froze. "I froze because I was so deeply confused about what was happening. The hands were moving all over me, yet these two men were smiling at one another and continuing in their conversation." Stacy Williams said the timing of her statement wasn't lost on her, but she "couldn't stand the thought of that monster returning to the White House." This comes on the back of documented behavior from more than two dozen women who corroborate Trump's predatory behavior. #DemVoice1 #wtpBLUE #DemsUnited #ProudBlue

TRUMP: I don't know Prince Andrew, but it's a tough story. I don't know him, no. FOX: Here is a photograph of him alongside the Prince and First Lady at his party at Mar-a-Lago that Epstein also attended. If Fox can cover Trump & Epstein back in 2019, why can't MSM cover it now? #DemVoice1 #wtpBLUE #DemsUnited #ProudBlue

ICE wrestled Alabama worker to the ground & detain him for hours—he is a U.S. citizen. Young man was begging & shouting, "I am a U.S. citizen"—but that didn't stop ICE agents from dragging him off to a detention center. Not following due process hurts us all—and our economy. His family said that ICE agents did release him after he was finally given the opportunity to prove he was a U.S. citizen—but only after many hours. This construction site in Foley, Alabama was forced to shut down for at least the day. How many other businesses were affected? #DemVoice1 #wtpBLUE #DemsUnited

ICE detain man who runs anti-Trump YouTube channel—he is U.S. born citizen. "They knew exactly who I am... started asking me 'Do you like Donald Trump?'" Hasan Piker is largest progressive streamer with 4.5M followers across social media—some say leftist alternate to Joe Rogan. He was headed to speak at the University of Chicago after returning from a family vacation for Mother's Day. Department of Homeland Security acknowledged that he was detained, but said "This is nothing but lying for likes." Because this happened in an airport that is an international entry point there must have been surveillance cameras everywhere—will they release the footage and prove what really happened? #DemVoice1 #wtpBLUE #DemsUnited

ICE traps 2 roofers on top of house during raid—but then 200 protesters came & chased agents away. Neighbors blocked the ladder leading up to roof—only allowing water up to the men.

Agents did manage to detain one contractor on the ground—even though his supervisor said he had legal work documents. It was first time the local ICE-tracking collective asked folks to respond directly to an active ICE raid—and at least 200 people came to help within minutes. The incident occurred on Westminster Road in Rochester, New York. #DemsUnited

ICE caught on camera trespassing at L.A. school—urinating near playground equipment in broad daylight. Agents "risked exposing themselves to minors in violation of law" near preschool open during the summer. At no time did they provide a judicial warrant—or even any legitimate reason as to why ICE agents entered & remain on school grounds. "While the high school was not in session—preschool students at the nearby elementary school could have bared witness." El Rancho Unified School District is located in Pico Rivera, California. #DemVoice1 #wtpBLUE #DemsUnited

A 4th man Trump pardoned for Jan 6 arrested for rape — judge denies bond, sets June trial. Dillon Herrington, nicknamed "MAGA Lumberjack," is charged with raping a woman who was blacked out and did not consent. He was armed with a military knife and stun gun on Jan 6 when he assaulted Capitol Police. Dillon Herrington threw objects at police officers, including a full water bottle, an unidentified object pulled from a box marked “Danger High Voltage,” and a 4 x 4 piece of lumber. He pleaded guilty to assaulting, resisting, or impeding certain officers and was sentenced to 37 months in prison — but was then arrested for rape on December 28, 2024. That means Trump knew about the rape when he pardoned him. #DemVoice1 #ProudBlue #DemsUnited

ICE knock down 84 year old married couple—send wife to hospital bloodied with concussion. "With no warning the feds charged us, knocked us down and sprayed us. I was hit in the head with a projectile." Husband was shocked by agents' behavior—and he served 10 years in Vietnam. "It was not the kind of crowd that shouts the F word, there were families," she said. "People have to know that we are not Antifa." "I always thought people must be provoking them or something, that they would never do this unprovoked. Obviously, I was wrong." Richard and Laurie Eckman live just a few blocks away from the protests outside the ICE facility in South Portland, Oregon. #DemsUnited

ICE detain yet another U.S. citizen—for driving to work while "looking" Mexican. Agents pulled him from car & handcuffed him in seconds—not even asking for his ID. "They profiled me, just grabbed me like I was a criminal," he said. "I'm American. My background is Mexican, but I was born in this country." Coworkers rushed to his aid yelling, "Are you guys ICE? This guy is a citizen here!" Rodrigo Almendarez says he plans to file a lawsuit over his detainment. The unlawful incident occurred in Simi Valley, California. #DemsUnited

MAGA Sheriff blubbered like a baby as he was sentenced to a whopping 15 years behind bars. Clark County Sheriff Jamey Noel was close friends with Mike Pence, appointed to Homeland Security Foundation, and received a VIP invite to Trump's inauguration. His crime? A laundry list of 27 felony charges, including theft, money laundering, corrupt business influence, official misconduct, obstruction of justice, and tax evasion.

ICE detain 2 year old Canadian toddler for 51 days—more than double legal time allowed. Another 3 year old child was locked up for 4 days—in holding room meant for detention under 12 hours. "I don’t want to die here," 13 year old said in written testimony—held for weeks with no access to toys, activities, or schooling. "We served a family with a 9 month old baby who lost 8.82 lb over a month’s time," reads another testimonial. A lawsuit to end these inhumane conditions has been filed against the South Texas Family Residential ICE Detention Center in Dilley, Texas. #DemsUnited

ICE slam head of local nurse into ground during arrest—she's a U.S. citizen & community volunteer. Agents charged at her so she dropped a poster——they claim she "attacked" them with that poster. She is well known—and targeted in advance for false arrest—according to fellow volunteers of the Community Self Defense Coalition. Amanda Trebach had already reported an earlier attack on August 4—when Border Patrol agents boxed her car in after she documented their caravan arriving. She was arrested outside the Terminal Island staging area for ICE at the Port of Los Angeles in California. #DemsUnited
