A low hanging fruit idea for Democrats: champion creating a new federal law enforcement agency dedicated to stopping child sex abuse. Call it the Terminate Rape of Underage Minors Protection act or TRUMP act

Why the fuck do we have so many cops & so many FBI agents & so many sprawling law enforcement intelligence fusion networks if all they ever do is say "the victim didn't email us back so we never followed up on their accusations against Jeffery Epstein" or "she sounds crazy, allegations disregarded"

This Epstein drop is HUGE and utterly disgusting. I don’t see how this man is allowed to remain in office. Where are the evangelical leaders, the soccer moms, the folks stocking up on eggs, the farmers, the small business owners.

Decide. Who are you?

It hasn’t gone unnoticed that all four people arrested today, including two journalists, were Black.

And now we find out the charge is “conspiracy to violate civil rights,” a statute rooted in the Ku Klux Klan Act.

Sit with that.
