Ossoff: We were told that MAGA was for working-class Americans. But this is a government of, by, and for the ultra-rich. It’s the wealthiest Cabinet ever. This is the Epstein class. They are the elites they pretend to hate.

if we can't stop his visit because of the genocide, can we at least stop it on this basis??? jeez
Isaac Herzog, special guest of the Australian government this week, is in the Epstein files.
It appears he went to the pedo rape torture island, alongside Ehud Barak, former Israeli PM, in 2014, long after Epstein’s conviction and outing as a predator.

The unspoken (yet undeniable) approach to energy policy in this country is simple, and double headed:
1. Home owners will be given EVERY opportunity to build equity in their properties while avoiding rising costs
2. Poor people will cover the shortfall so power companies' share prices don't suffer
