Reminder…you have a sexual predator in the WH. in this page from the House Oversight Committee, you’ll see that Diddy Rump is specifically named.
He, & all other predators & enablers deserve consequences.
Survivors deserve justice.
We the people deserve the truth. #ReleaseTheFiles
4. I was hired by and paid directly Epstein by Mr. from the years of 1991-2000 to attract adolescent women to attend these parties, most of which were held at what is known as the Wener Mansion located at 9 E. 71st St. in New York City. 5. In June, 1994 while performing my duties as a recruiter of adolescent women to attend Mr. Epstein's parties, I met a adolescent woman, 13-year-old at the Port the Plaintiff in this matter, Authority in New York City who said that she had come to New York City in the hope of starting modeling career. 6. I persuaded the Plaintiff to attend a series of parties of Mr. Epstein that took place during the summer of 1994. I told her that, if she would join me at the parties, she would be introduced to people who could get her into the modeling profession and she 7. would be paid for attending. It was at these series of parties that I personally witnessed the Plaintiff being forced to perform various sexual acts with Donald J. Trump and Mr. Epstein. Both Mr. Trump and Mr. Epstein were advised that she was 13 years old. 8. I personally witnessed four sexual encounters that the Plaintiff was forced to have with Mr. Trump during this period, including of these encounters where Mr. Trump the fourth forcibly raped her despite her pleas to stop. HOUSE OVERSIGHT 025937 Case 1:16-cv-04642 Document 1-2 Filed 06/20/16 Page 2 of 9. I personally witnessed the one occasion where Mr. Trump forced the Plaintiff and a 12-year-old female named pertorm oral sex on Mr. Trump and witnessed his physical abuse of both minors

Instead of responding only with thoughts and prayers, Australia will respond with laws and regulations. Because, unlike the United States, it values the lives of its citizens over any sick adulation of firearms.

The 1996 Port Arthur massacre led to immediate, sweeping, bipartisan gun law reforms.

There is virtually no fed criminal law for wealthy people in America right now. Doesn’t exist. Trump’s DOJ either drops their charges or he pardons them. Anyone can buy their way out of prison for the right price on any charge, with crime victims left shattered with no justice.

All corporate CEOs should understand: If you agree to attend an event at the White House, you are very likely to be filmed nodding appreciatively at a delusional racist rant. If you're ok with that, go. If not, you probably should stay away.

ICE and DHS are separating young children from their parents and disappearing them.

6 year old Yuanxin was separated from his father after a routine immigration check in on Nov. 26th.

Yuanxin's father was not told where his son was being sent.

Yuanxin'swhereabouts are still unknown.
The 6-year-old is part of a growing number of children arrested and detained by ICE, according to newly released data obtained by the Deportation Data Project through a Freedom of Information Act request. One hundred and fifty one children under the age of 18 have been arrested between January and October, with a steep increase beginning in May. Another volunteer named John, who declined to give his full name fearing retaliation, had accompanied the family to their 7 a.m. check-in at 26 Federal Plaza. John said he waited for several hours at a cafe nearby, but the father and son never re-emerged. The father’s name appeared in the ICE detainee locator later that day. John said that for the past several months he has accompanied many families to check-ins at 26 Federal Plaza and witnessed many kids being taken by ICE. “They just don’t come out,” he said. “Entire families have gone in and not gone out.”

This whole thing is awful, but Susan Dell is lab-created, right? No way she's human. The fact that this grift seems like a robot is funding it makes it even worse.

Sen. Michael Bohacek said Friday that he wouldn’t support an effort in his state to redraw congressional district lines that favor Republicans after Trump used a slur for those with intellectual disabilities to describe Democratic Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz.

Wow! Uvalde police really do suck! This woman tried to save kids. She was not the reason, the blame, that door opened for the shooter. It had been "temperamental" in locking. She did shut it hard. Amy Marin-Franco didn't fail, Uvalde police did! Steven McGraw, especially, owes her an apology 1/2

An issue we're seeing at all levels of university is that many students are simply refusing to do *anything*. They aren't reading the syllabus, aren't following assignment guidelines, aren't engaging with material, ignoring deadlines. And this might seem like old news, but it truly has ramped up.

The new editor of CBS News thinks that Alan Dershowitz and Dana Loesch debating the 2nd Amendment is “news.”

So, pour one out tonight for the actual journalists at CBS who have to listen to this drivel in the am news meeting

(She also says Dersh is “charismatic,” but that’s the lesser horror)

The Church of Latter Day Saints protects sexual predators & has allowed children to continue to be abused for years. They have had a hand in injuring so many. Their “help” line is staffed by lawyers to protect the church.

Thank you Heather Gay & those who told their stories.
