Donald Trump came to Dallas this week to be celebrated, but 3.5 million pages of the truth got here first… and tonight, I want you standing beside them (literally, if you can make it).
First, the details, because time is short.
At 4pm CT (5pm ET), we’re taking DEFIANCE Daily on the road and broadcasting live from the Trump-Epstein Bookmobile somewhere in Dallas. That’s the virtual way in, wherever you are. Watch LIVE or listen to the replay.
Then at 6pm CT, if you’re in the area, you can get a sneak peek, if you act fast. There’s a small in-person preview of the printed files featuring Beto O’Rourke, Katie Phang, Epstein survivors, major donors, and pro-democracy leaders from across the country — a first look at everything we’ve planned for this week.
We can give a few more DEFIANCE.org members access before the doors open to the public. You funded this activation, so this is your night as much as anyone else. Space at the in-person gathering is genuinely limited, so RSVP here now. A big thanks to our friends at the Institute for Primary Facts, who are the creative geniuses and organizers.
Let me share again why I think this matters
This week, the GOP is holding the first midterm convention in its history, a two-night self-tribute Trump’s own party chairman branded “Trumpapalooza.” It was supposed to be a show of strength, where the man who anoints his party’s nominee gets them to come kiss the ring. Instead, many of them are skipping the event altogether. Politico surveyed more than seventy Republican candidates and members of Congress, and forty-five said they either weren’t coming or wouldn’t commit. Even Melania found somewhere else to be. This is embarrassing beyond belief. And it shows that Trump’s influence is waning.
The president’s panic is showing, too. Seats at his convention were reportedly set at $25,000 - $100,000 back in June. By last month, random Texans were getting unsolicited text messages offering free tickets to see Trump… messages so desperate that local news stations had to run segments confirming they weren’t a scam. They’re worried about an empty convention center, so they’re trying to get anyone off the street who they can find to be there.
Honestly, this makes what we are doing all-the-more effective. News cameras that might otherwise be at the convention center are instead coming to the Trump-Epstein Reading Room & Bookmobile, including for a press conference with U.S. Senate candidate James Talarico this week. The spotlight is being taken away from Trump. In its place, we’re aiming a searchlight at his corruption. And nothing embodies that corruption more than his administration’s coverup of the largest sex crimes investigation in American history.
That’s where you come in.
A few months ago, this community rallied behind an almost absurd idea. We proposed printing all the Epstein files and putting them on the road, including every page the Trump administration was forced to release and hoped would disappear into a database no one would read. Boy, were they wrong. Thanks to your support, we helped print all 3.5 million pages, loaded them into a traveling reading room and bookmobile, and as of a few hours ago, they’re now parked in Dallas. Reporters and the general public are booked to tour the stacks all week. Survivors flew in to stand there and call out Trump’s corruption. As a result, the story the president wanted this convention to bury is instead sitting nearby in the Dallas sunlight.
That’s what defiance looks like in practice.
After sitting with these survivors on several occasions, I must say again how honored I am to help them in this righteous cause. Real lives were destroyed. And partly because of you, a real investigation will be reopened one day. I am confident of that.
So if you’re in the area, come stand with them and see what you’ve built — or tune in to DEFIANCE Daily live and on location at 4pm CT / 5pm CT.
And if tonight doesn’t work, don’t worry. The reading room and the bookmobile will be open in Dallas all week. Dates and RSVP details are at trumpepsteinbookmobile.com, and then we are headed to more cities, where we hope to see you.
Thank you for your support.
Your friend, in defiance,
