Donald Trump seems inclined to start a war with Iran, which would expend massive amounts of treasure and kill countless innocents, for...what, exactly? Why is this in the US interest? Their nuclear ambitions can be controlled. Is he mad about the regime killing protesters? It's happening here, too.

“I reject the lie that deporting my neighbor is how I win better pay and working conditions. We’re fighting for a country where families stay together without living in terror, so we’re ALL better off!”

So sick of stupid f*cking people who refuse to grasp the fact that the Constitution doesn't apply exclusively to American citizens, but to every person within the U.S. And they bask in the arrogance of ignorance. Is it any wonder that it's hard not to hate them.

The president of the United States is in the Epstein files. He has been accused of horrific despicable, crimes against children and women. He must be brought to justice.

I think they killed Epstein, but if it had gone down a few years later, they would've instead given him a cabinet position.

A big package on data centers that I was part of right before getting laid off from Business Insider just won a Polk Award. Nice! Congrats to that whole team—I mostly just did some writing, but they all did a *ton* of investigative and data work. www.businessinsider.com/business-ins...

The fact that our government is fighting us on just about every amendment in the Constitution, and the Constitution itself, one might think our government is an authoritarian dictatorship.

I can't believe the predators have stopped.
If Jeffrey Epstein is dead, the question doesn’t disappear with him. Predatory appetites don’t retire because one middleman is removed. Power, money, and access have always found ways to protect themselves.
Until those structures are dismantled and accountability is done then nothing will change.

Let all the files come out, unredacted.
Know who's not afraid of releasing the Epstein files?
Bill Clinton.
He and Hillary keep saying to release them all and the the truth come out.

The president is a child rapist. If civil society is to survive, this can not become normalized.
Holy shit.
A lot of people have suggested this, but I don’t think Lieu would make the allegation unless he had seen some evidence.

What's the use of democracy if the media is allowed to lie to the public and therefore influence their voting? We have churches that do not pay taxes directly influencing people's votes. And this is what democracy is. It's bullshit. It doesn't work like we're supposed to believe.
