Feel like a lot of powerful people kinda need to go to jail for the entire Epstein situation
EPSTEIN BOMBSHELL: my staff is releasing a new report showing JPMorgan Chase executives – all the way to the top – enabled Epstein's sex trafficking operation. You're going to want to read this.

the whiteness should definitely be noted
One thing I've noticed so far about all of the men to be dragnetted by the Epstein emails (ok, two things, the whiteness should definitely be noted) is that they are all high on their own supply. Across the political spectrum they are uncritical of their own profile and status (and therefore power).

The Biden administration had plans to upgrade Amtrak, especially on the NE corridor.

Marjorie Taylor Greene has been disliked by the left for years and years and had never had to fear for her life. She's been disliked by the right for 1 day and now has to hire security.

It’s funny that even now, with everything we know, there’s still a retreat towards treating racism as somehow uniquely unbelievable.

Them: “I’m sick of subsidizing their groceries when mine cost so much”
SNAP does not drive up grocery prices.
That would be inflation, tariffs & corporate greed.
For every $1 spent on SNAP there’s a $1.50 going back into the economy.
While you’re blaming the poor, the rich are robbing everyone.

If he wasn’t the Great White Hope, his presidency would be DUNNNNNN by now.
He has literally bulldozed the economy, the value of the dollar, the job market, our trade relationships, our diplomatic relations, our national security…there is literally NOTHING he hasn’t ruined.
Not even the WH.

Hear hear!
So there was a conspiracy, just not involving pizza parlors.
At the center of this is how White men trafficked children as a means to acquire global wealth and political power.
I do want us at some point to understand this situation as ongoing throughout Western history & not an anomaly.

The Dems are in a terrible position--dealing with an erratic, vindictive personality and his willing henchpeople.
Don't be so quick to condemn those who voted to restore food to people and to give them the opportunity to reach Thanksgiving destinations.
If we lose our hearts, we lose everything.

KAMALA HARRIS DID TALK ABOUT AFFORDABILITY.
SHE HAD DETAILED PLANS.
SHE MADE MAJOR SPEECHES AND EXPLAINED HER PLANS *IN DETAIL*.
YOU WERE NOT LISTENING.
So please just stop with the "Kamala didn't do this or that."
She lost by *1.5 points nationwide*. Margin of error. NO LANDSLIDE.
Just STOP!

The ACA made my whole self-employed life possible. For almost ten years, I was able to build a career that actually worked for me AND keep receiving necessary care to address the consequences of childhood medical neglect. And I still deserved better. We all do.

I couldn’t be more delighted by the outcome of last week’s election and the increased presence of left-leaning women in our state government leadership. Actually… I can imagine being more delighted if we see similar results in the federal midterms next year, male or female 💙🌊💙
