Many Republican voters are about to rcv notices that their healthcare premiums have doubled, tripled or even quadrupled. I hope they call Congressional reps

Turns out the sweetheart deal that Trump's former Labor Secretary Alex Acosta gave Epstein back in 2008 was even worse than we thought. Epstein's emails show Acosta tanked an investigation that had Epstein dead to rights on money laundering, and other financial crimes.

This has been such an Illuminating part of our current moment:

It’s revealed just how unwilling those with actual power are to even just ask tough questions, while highlighting how willing pajama-wearing suburbanites are to physically drive off guys armed with actual guns.

The assumption appears to be that ordinary voters will be cowed, obsequious, and unwilling to challenge autocracy, just like the billionaires, business leaders, media executives, and other leading institutions of civil society, which have decided that fighting back is “not worth the hassle.”

You're so kind. The link appears to be the same as the orig post, & requires a free trial (which I'm also maxed out on 😂). Gift links normally include the word "gift-link" or "unlocked-article" in the link URL.

Kristi Noem is flat-out lying when she claims no U.S. citizen has been arrested in her violent crackdown. Do a web search on “immigration citizen arrested” and you’ll see. Here’s one of the many documented reports we found.

This seems rather bad— the Trump regime’s top officials are moving onto protected military bases.

Cleared by three grand juries. Acquitted by a trial jury.

In an exclusive interview, Sidney Reid tells me she taped an agent telling her "if I just minded my business, I'd be at home right now."
