U.K. might lose a prime minister because a guy who worked for him knew another guy who hung out with Epstein. Meanwhile the U.S. opposition party is telling our President, who was Epstein's best friend, that his secret police should get better training so their public street murders look less messy.

AOC on DHS Warehouses: I think every American should be alarmed. They are building—and have built—a black box system that disappears people, both immigrants and U.S. citizens alike.

I couldn’t even imagine my commanding officer pressuring me to go see a movie about the president’s wife while serving in the Marines. But this is Pete Hegseth’s DOD, where partisan politics continues to be pushed on troops who just want to do their jobs while serving America.

Reminder: Trump is also working to end the Voting Rights ACT and the Civil Rights Act. His white supremacy goes way beyond sharing racist images.
There you go: Trump says about posting the grotesquely racist video of the Obamas as apes: “No, I didn’t make a mistake.” MAGA is a white supremacist movement.

Please remember it is everyone against the billionaires. They will flood every election, every issue with tons of money, that the sky is falling if they are taxed.
It is a sickening lie to continue to control your life.

People like Donald get worse if they’re allowed to. His disgusting racism is increasingly blatant and dangerous because the Republicans, with their silence, encourage it. They are complicit in every awful thing they allow their hideous leader to do.

Trump is so jealous of the popularity of Barack Obama & Michelle that he actually wakes up in the middle of the night to attack them in a disgusting, vile, and unforgivable way. Every American should walk away from Donald Trump because he proves he is a hateful human being every day in every way.

January 6 was the worst day of my life. But the threat of Donald Trump didn’t end when the mob left the Capitol.
That’s why I’m running for Congress: to defend this country, with the full constitutional authority of Congress.
