Speaking of October, it’s the perfect time to talk about the Epstein files. They contain the names of America’s most powerful, richest, and morally vile men. I am now certain that speaker Johnson is in there because why else would he make such an ass of himself to cover up the truth

STEPHANOPOULOS: Did Tom Homan give the $50,000 back?

VANCE: He did not take a bribe. It's a ridiculous smear

STEPHANOPOULOS: You didn't answer the question

VANCE: Did he accept $50,000? I'm sure that in the course of Homan's life, he's been paid more than $50k for services.

(So, no, he didn't)

Republicans literally passed their healthcare plan in Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill. That’s why we are here

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 2h

Johnson strikes a patronizing tone about MTG: "Republicans have been working around the clock on healthcare. They're on the committees of jurisdiction that deal with this. Marjorie doesn't serve on those committees, so I offered to have her come into the room and be a part of those discussions."

No one thought he could win once
No one thought he could win twice
No one believed he’d get away with it
No one believed he’d be on the ballot
No one accepted the grim reality
No one accepted he’d destroy humanity
No one was prepared for this
No one is stopping it

WE are the last line of defense

The u.s. was not founded on freedom. It was founded on stolen land and built by stolen people.

If they had taught the truth in schools, the u.s wouldn't be a dying democracy today.
