Congratulations to all the Democratic candidates who won tonight. It’s a reminder that when we come together around strong, forward-looking leaders who care about the issues that matter, we can win. We’ve still got plenty of work to do, but the future looks a little bit brighter.

New Jersey and Virginia have chosen well by electing
@mikiesherrill.bsky.social and @spanbergerforva.bsky.social as their next governors!

They are proven leaders who won by focusing on what matters most - how politics and policy can make everyday life better and more affordable.

The court ordered SNAP to keep running using emergency funds. But Speaker Mike Johnson shrugged: “It’s not as easy as hitting go-send on a computer.” Millions of kids, vets, seniors, and disabled Americans could go hungry for Thanksgiving while the GOP plays political games. #TruthbombTuesday

I actually feel a little sorry for Mike Johnson. Before he became Speaker only a handful of people knew what a smarmy little idiot he was. Now, several hundred million people know.

One cannot help but think of Senators John Cornyn and Ted Cruz and Congressman Dan Crenshaw, who apparently approve of such practices. If they did not, I am sure we would have heard them speak out against such practices.

The foregoing is from a book I am reading written by Meggan Watterson titled "The Girl Who Baptised Herself." Meggan was working as a counselor at the time. One cannot help thinking of the victims in the Epstein files when coming accross the passage.

These girls had been trafficked, and I can see that now I can name it. But back then, in 2003, they were treated as if they had chosen prostitution as an occupation. And they were being shown Mercy because they had chosen to keep their babies, they had chosen to take responsibility."

There was and is no other title to accurately describe them. And there is no such thing as a 14-year-old prostitute. There is only a child who has been left unprotected without agency or true power.

Where does your Congress Critter stand on the Epstein files? Mine's appear to want them hidden.

It sure looks like the reason Bondi is refusing to "follow the money" is because she knows exactly where it leads. #EpsteinCoverUp unprecedented.ghost.io/archive/a-st...
