Democrats should propose amendments to the SAVE act that require the government to furnish free IDs to all eligible voters before requiring them, automatically register all people to vote, expand mail-in voting, and create a national voting holiday. Then watch republicans block them.

A strange find from the Epstein files:
A hacker named Vincenzo Iozzo shares with Epstein a rumor that Peter Thiel was "bankrolling" the neo-Nazi white supremacist hacker troll known as "weev."
Conversation is about financial strategies and "currencies."

"I'm not scared of a germ... I used to snort cocaine off of toilet seats." Trump cabinet member.
Sometimes, in the wee hours of the night, one's mind may find itself wandering towards the question of whether or not it was wise to hand the reins of all US healthcare to the cocaine-snorting meat vessel of a brain worm
"I'm not scared of a germ... I used to snort cocaine off of toilet seats."
This is a direct quote from the secretary of Health and Human Services. I lack words to describe how unhinged it is to have this person dictating healthcare policy for 350 million people.
