“If Donald Trump learned what happened to Virginia Giuffre and warned Epstein never to recruit sex slaves at Mar-a-Lago again, it would mean he was aware of what happened to Giuffre, aware years before law enforcement started investigating Epstein.” @emptywheel.bsky.social

🧵 1/2 Candace Owens is a bigger sell out than all DJT minions combined!

So when the most disillusioned of Trumps minions becomes a Guardrail against these wannabe Kings, time to listen

Remember, we need them to either vote with us or abstain in ‘26 & ‘28, not vote against us

ABOLISH ICE and EXPAND THE SUPREME COURT should be mainstream Democratic promises and talking points.

But timidity and civility will rule the day and screw the rest of us and this country in the end.

At a time when our schools face teacher shortages, cutting investments in education is the last thing we should be doing.
