Trump’s NSPM-7 Raises Alarms About Expanding “Domestic Terrorism” Powers and Political Repression
The Intercept reports that Trump’s National Security Presidential Memorandum-7 (NSPM-7) dramatically expands federal power under the banner of “domestic terrorism,” raising alarms among civil liberties experts who warn it could be used to justify lethal force and target political dissent. The directive relies on vague and legally undefined concepts of “political violence,” echoing prior attempts to label antifa a terrorist organization without authority, and fits into a broader pattern of executive overreach that blurs the line between national security and political repression—posing serious risks to activists, nonprofits, and ordinary Americans exercising their constitutional rights.

Doug Jones Enters Alabama Governor Race, Rematch With Tuberville in Deep-Red State
Former U.S. Senator Doug Jones officially kicked off his bid for Alabama governor, setting up a likely rematch with Republican Sen. Tommy Tuberville in a state that hasn’t elected a Democrat to statewide office in decades; Jones, the underdog, highlighted his prosecutorial record and urged a focus on health care, education, and unity while acknowledging rural voter outreach and Tuberville’s favored status as key challenges in this uphill 2026 campaign.
Congress and Senate
Congress Barely Stands Up for Itself—and That’s the Problem
A GovTrack analysis notes that Congress has taken a rare but minimal step to reassert its authority, pushing back—just barely—against executive overreach, highlighting how weakened and reactive the legislative branch has become. The episode underscores a troubling pattern: instead of robustly defending its constitutional role, Congress acts at the margins, signaling how normalized dysfunction and power imbalance have become even when lawmakers recognize the threat to democratic checks and balances.

“Trump Is Losing It”: MAGA in Free Fall as Defeats Mount
In The Contrarian, Jennifer Rubin argues that Donald Trump’s presidency and broader MAGA movement are unraveling, with a string of losses in courts, failed efforts to control Republican lawmakers, and diminished influence over both Congress and voters underscoring a leadership in collapse. The article highlights Trump’s inability to bend state legislatures or his own party to his will, public embarrassment over redistricting defeats, and growing fractures within GOP ranks, saying the once-feared figure has lost his aura of invincibility and is now presiding over a movement in retreat.
The Resistance
The Fight for Democracy Is a Long War of Everyday People
In The Resistance Sentinel, the author argues that defending democracy won’t be a quick sprint back to “normal,” but a prolonged struggle where ordinary people sustain resistance through steady, relentless effort rather than expecting instant fixes, drawing lessons from historical resistance movements to stress that everyday acts of engagement and vigilance matter as much as headline-grabbing events.

Epstein Files We’ll Never See Reveal How Power Protects Itself
n Jack Hopkins Now’s deep dive Epstein: The Files We’ll Never See, the author argues that the full Epstein evidence will never be released not because of mere embarrassment, but because it would expose how intertwined his network was with elite institutions and power structures that protect themselves at all costs—showing that Epstein was not a lone predator but a node in a system that shields the powerful and buries inconvenient truths beneath redactions and sealed records.
Epstein’s Influence Reached the Very Institutions Meant to Stop Him
A Raw Story report highlights how Jeffrey Epstein maintained extraordinary access to political, financial, and legal power even after his crimes were known, underscoring repeated institutional failures that allowed him to evade real accountability. The piece reinforces a growing body of evidence showing that Epstein’s protection was not accidental but systemic, enabled by elite relationships, prosecutorial deference, and a persistent unwillingness by authorities to confront the full scope of his network.
New Epstein Photo Releases Show Trump, Clinton, Gates, Bannon, and Woody Allen in His Orbit
A TIME report on newly released Epstein photographs shows a wide range of powerful figures—including Donald Trump, Bill Clinton, Bill Gates, Steve Bannon, and Woody Allen—appearing in Epstein’s social circle, underscoring how deeply embedded he was among political, financial, and cultural elites. While the photos do not prove criminal conduct, they directly contradict years of attempts to downplay or distance these relationships and reinforce why transparency around Epstein’s connections matters: access, proximity, and normalization are how predatory networks survive in plain sight.
What the FBI and DOJ Left Out of the Epstein Files—and Why It Matters
A Bloomberg investigation examines how the FBI and Department of Justice reviewed and released Epstein-related documents while omitting or minimizing key details, raising serious questions about transparency, institutional self-protection, and the scope of what the public still hasn’t seen. The reporting highlights gaps, redactions, and framing choices that continue to obscure how Epstein operated, who enabled him, and why federal authorities failed—again—to fully reckon with their own role in shielding powerful figures from scrutiny.
“There’s Much More to the Story”: Epstein’s Power Extended Far Beyond One Man
An analysis published by Columbus Free Press argues that Jeffrey Epstein’s crimes cannot be understood in isolation, emphasizing the extensive network of financial institutions, political figures, intelligence-linked relationships, and elite enablers that allowed him to operate for decades. The article challenges the narrative of Epstein as a lone predator, pointing instead to systemic protection, repeated institutional failures, and the persistent refusal to fully investigate how wealth and power insulated him from accountability.
The “French Connection” Shows Epstein’s Network Was International, Elite, and Deeply Entrenched
In The French Connection, American Freakshow documents how Jeffrey Epstein’s network extended beyond the United States into elite French political, financial, and social circles, reinforcing that his operation was not confined to one country or one set of enablers. The reporting situates Epstein within a broader transnational ecosystem of wealth, influence, and impunity, where proximity to power offered protection and silence across borders, further undermining claims that his crimes were isolated or uniquely American in scope.
Jeffrey Epstein Allegedly Threatened to Expose Bill Gates’ Affair to Maintain Leverage
Reporting summarized by The Telegraph states that Jeffrey Epstein allegedly threatened to expose an affair involving Bill Gates as a means of leverage, reinforcing long-standing evidence that Epstein functioned as a power broker who collected and used kompromat on influential figures rather than acting alone. Gates has acknowledged multiple meetings with Epstein after his conviction, previously calling them a “mistake,” but this reporting highlights how Epstein’s access to elites was often sustained through coercion, secrecy, and reputational threat rather than coincidence or social overlap.

Featured Resister: EpsteinWiki.com
EpsteinWiki is a public accountability project built to document, organize, and preserve the growing body of Epstein-related evidence before it disappears behind redactions, broken links, or public fatigue. Run by volunteers, the project focuses on primary documents, verified reporting, and careful sourcing to map networks of power, institutional failure, and elite protection—so the historical record can’t be quietly rewritten once attention moves on.
Today’s To-Do List
- Read one newly released Epstein document or photo set (not commentary). Start with the Oversight Committee dump or FBI Vault files so you know what’s actually in the record.
- Read Today’s Resistance Survival Guide: How to Read Epstein Documents Without Making Things Up
- Add one fact to the public record: update a Wikipedia page, submit a correction, or help document evidence on EpsteinWiki so it doesn’t get memory-holed.
- Email or call your U.S. Representative and demand full, unredacted transparency in Epstein-related releases—ask specifically why names, dates, and locations are still being withheld.
- Share one verified article (TIME, Bloomberg, The Intercept, GovTrack, Bulwark) with a one-sentence explanation so people understand why it matters.
- Support accountability journalism with money, even $5—pick one outlet actively covering Epstein, authoritarian overreach, or civil liberties.
- Boycott one company or donor tied to authoritarian politics or elite impunity today—skip them intentionally and tell others why.
- Help one person register, check, or update their voter status, especially someone who’s young, newly moved, or overwhelmed.
- Report disinformation when you see it—don’t argue, don’t dunk, just flag and move on.
- Volunteer your actual skills (research, data entry, writing, tech, organizing) with EpsteinWiki or another transparency project instead of doom-scrolling.
- Log off with purpose, not exhaustion: drink water, step outside, and come back tomorrow ready to keep pressure on.

Final Rally Call
The truth doesn’t survive on its own. It survives because people refuse to look away, refuse to forget, and refuse to let power erase the record once the headlines fade. EpsteinWiki exists because silence is a strategy—and we’re done playing along. Stay loud. Stay curious. Stay organized. Democracy depends on people who are willing to document what others are desperate to bury.
