We have some major developments this morning. Epstein survivors will be testifying for the first time ever publicly in front of a congressional shadow hearing in Palm beach today. I'll be covering it live for you so that you don't have to. And then I'll have updates for you throughout the day where survivors will finally be telling their stories to the public and sharing their experiences. Their horrific experiences with Ghislaine Maxwell, Jeffrey Epstein and the wealthy and powerful men that enabled the sex trafficking scheme that Epstein led. We cannot let their stories ever die. And as survivors are gearing up to testify overnight, the President of the United States put out some of the most lengthy tirades to date of his attacking President Obama, calling for President Obama's arrest, saying that he's a demonic figure. I mean anything you could think of in QAnon there was posts about it. It comes as he's heading to China today and tomorrow and well, new polling is looking really rough for him among the Republican electorate. So that's the latest right now. Like Comment Share subscribe to my Substack Click the link below to support my work. We have a very busy day ahead between the Epstein survivors testimony. Pete Hecseth is testifying on Capitol Hill. Cash Patel is testifying on Capitol Hill. I'm going to bring you live updates for all of that throughout the day, so stay tuned. This morning, Epstein survivors are going and will be testifying in front of a shadow hearing with House Democrats on the Oversight Committee. They will publicly testify, some potentially even under oath, for the first time about their abuse. One survivor, Marina Lacerda, told Scripps News that many victims see the hearing as an important step towards accountability, though she did express skepticism and I do have the same skepticism that any major action will occur under the current Trump administration. She said that the hearing is emotionally difficult for survivors because it forces them to revisit the places tied to their abuse, but she believes it is important for educating parents and younger generations about grooming and predatory behavior. Survivors are also calling for the release of the additional Epstein related files and further investigations into the others connected to the case. This is the first time many will testify in a public setting and I will bring it to you live as on my substack link below. So make sure to go check it out. And also I'll have updates for you periodically throughout the day. As I do so make sure to subscribe to support my work. And it comes as survivors are testifying and the president has launched a lengthy truth social tirade. I mean, posting dozens and dozens of times overnight, including accusing Obama of attempting a coup in 2016, saying that Obama worked with the CIA to overthrow Trump, reposts calling Obama a traitor, reposts attacking Dominion voting systems, accusing Obama of personally making $120 million from Obamacare, posting fake JFK Jr accounts, saying that Obama wiretapped Trump Tower, demanding that Senator Mark Kelly resign, demanding that Jack Smith be arrested, accusing Obama, Clinton and Comey of treason, posting videos of people stealing from convenience stores, posting a man on a CCTV footage, knocking over food a waiter was carrying, calling Obama the most demonic force in American politics and so much more. And at the same time, at the same time he's doing this a lot of, I mean, you won't see this on most mainstream media websites. You just won't. Most mainstream media companies will not cover the lengthy truth social tirades that the president goes on for a couple reasons. Number one, none of this actually impacts day to day life for Americans. But the real reason why many won't cover it is out of fear of the President. And also they have kind of normalized this behavior. This behavior has seemingly become normal for far too many in the media industry. And this is just to them, Trump being Trump. But I cover it because I think it's important to note that a president is going on these lengthy posts, posting all these conspiracy theories, these wild posts, and doesn't matter who the president is, whether it's Donald Trump or Joe Biden or anyone or anyone. And, well, when you don't cover these things, stories like what we learned overnight, that Donald Trump personally pushed the Justice Department to issue subpoenas to reporters covering the war in Iran and even gave Attorney General Todd Blanche a stack of articles of people he thought were, quote, treasonous. Reporters he thought were treasonous with the sticky note treason on top. That's not normal. But that behavior becomes normalized when you don't cover all of the craziness that he's posting overnight, which is why I think independent media right now is so important. And it's because he's making statements like this, too. Take a listen.

You love standing up. We have a man who's doing a great job. I'll tell you. I knew it because he kept me out of jail for years. Acting Attorney General Carte Blanche. He kept me out of jail. They would indict me left and right, the crooked Democrats. You know, it's amazing. They impeach me, they indict me. And then when I get in office, if I say something like, well, maybe that should be looked into. Weaponization. I go through court cases, I win them, but because there were fake indictments. But when I even mentioned, like I said the other day, that some of that stuff should be looked into, they said, weaponization. He's a terrible human being. Weaponization. Right, Cash. They blame me for weaponization. They are a crooked bunch, and we want to keep it the way it is. What we have now, we have great law enforcement. Now we have law enforcement that loves our country, not law enforcement that's sick and dangerous.

So he put his personal criminal defense attorney in the top law enforcement job in the United States of America, told him to go after reporters for alleged treason, worked with him to block the release of the Epstein files, although there is now a reading room right there showing every single Epstein file in New York, but worked with Todd Blanche to block the release of the Epstein files. This, I mean, is not normal. And we can't normalize it. We really can't. Because if we normalize it, then it'll continue to happen. And if I can do my part in just sharing awareness of what's happening in the United States of America, especially as it relates to the legal system I swore an oath to uphold. I will continue doing it. This morning's polling, though, is really bad news for the Republican Party because it was asked, which party do you trust more to handle the following the environment, education, health care, economic inequality, employment in the job market, democracy, trade policy, foreign policy, immigration, taxes, defense, crime. What do you all have in common? Even on crime, Americans trust Democrats more than they trust Republicans to handle all of these issues, even like crime. Even on crime, that is a significant development. And when you look at the generic ballot, if the election for the House of Representatives were held today, who would you likely to vote for? Democrats are now leading the generic ballot by 14 plus points. Now, obviously polls don't vote, people do. And you never know what will happen here in November. But if these results are upheld in in November, you will have a blue wave, a blue wave you really have never seen before. And it's not just that polling. Donald Trump's disapproval rating Disapproval on the economy has now hit 70%. 70%. For the first time ever, Donald Trump's disapproval rating is at 70%. And it comes as inflation today once again reached a high of 3.8%. So lots of news to cover. It's a busy day.
