Great news that the Senate has passed the bill forcing the DOJ to release its Epstein file. Now Bondi must comply. But our work cannot stop there. We need to force the Treasury to release the Epstein bank records too. I have a bill to make that happen. FOLLOW THE MONEY.

Devastating— “I’m afraid for my parents to leave the house. They treat us like dogs because of the color of our skin. I shouldn’t be scared, I should be focusing on school.”

Listen carefully (1:22): "[The president] has tried to do everything he can to make [the shutdown] as unpainless as possible." Wow, talk about inadvertently saying the true part out loud.

We are watching America reassert itself and its values from the grassroots up. The world saw you and we have huge hope invested in you.

In this video, Andrews points out something important. When people think of Christians, they tend to think of the Christian nationalists who cheer on Trump's evil. That makes non-evil Christians like Andrews furious. Others should feel that way too.

Wow! This is worth a listen. This guy is so on point! It’s how many people of color have always felt! I think of Doc Rivers when he said, “it’s amazing why we keep loving this country, and this country does not love us back”.

The (UK) Telegraph on Trump's visit: "There were the marching bands with their flawless precision and the procession of ceremonial carriages whose windows are designed to allow a view of their esteemed occupants waving to jubilant crowds. But there was no waving because there were no crowds.”

Watch and decide, but I was never fully convinced he was shot in the first place. Never mind that his ear should’ve been blown off—now completely healed. Or that the Secret Service took their time getting him offstage.
But from this angle: you see the photographers guided into place…

I fully support this sentiment. Who are we fighting for if not others? It is counterintuitive to not allow people to learn from their mistakes.
It does not serve any purpose, and it is a manufactured emotion, to keep us divided 💜
