Trump's longtime confidant Thomas Barrack, now serving as U.S. ambassador to Turkey and special envoy to Syria, was in regular, close contact with Jeffrey Epstein for years after Epstein's 2008 conviction for soliciting a minor, a CBS News analysis of over 100 texts and email exchanges shows.

The New York Times reports that the Department of Homeland Security has sent Google, Meta, and other media corporations subpoenas for the names on accounts that criticize ICE enforcement. The department wants to identify Americans who oppose what it’s doing. I’ll save them time.

Is it good or bad that an agency that is technically involved in law enforcement is using ideas from the serial killer playbook?

Call US Senators and tell them to vote against the SAVE Act. It has already passed the US House. In its current form, it means that 100 years after women earned the right to vote, we are facing down the implementation of a 21st century poll tax for women.

As there is no evidence non-citizens vote in any significant numbers (the total convictions are in the low dozens over the past quarter-century. That's across the US, across many elections), she absolutely does NOT mean that. She meant, "make sure only whites in red areas are voting".

Trump's solution?

Trump and elected Republicans in Congress want to give HUGE tax cuts to wealthy millionaires & billionaires & LARGE corporations.

Middle and lower income households and SMALL businesses get puny tax cuts.
AOC: "Extreme level of wealth inequality leads to social instability and drives authoritarianism, right-wing populism, and really dangerous domestic internal politics. That is a direct outcome of the failure of democracies over decades to deliver."
