Trump is handing Ukraine and the rest of Europe over to Russia. MAGA Republicans are selling out the U.S. and her allies to Russia.

Every single Trump appointee lied to Congress when asked poignant questions regarding settled laws and norms in government. Junior has drug his father’s good name into the muck.
Breaking News: Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said he personally instructed the CDC to abandon its position that vaccines do not cause autism. The move underscores his determination to challenge scientific orthodoxy — in this case, that vaccines save lives — and bend the health department to his will.

In an interview, Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. cited gaps in vaccine safety research. His critics say he is ignoring a larger point: Vaccines save lives.

Just who are our politicians in the federal government listening to in Washington? Follow the money.
Federal election spending by the 100 wealthiest Americans is now 140x what it was in 2000.

Last year they crossed $1 billion in election spending.

Oh look, they’re finally making it official what they’ve been doing with our data. Not that we didn’t already know that, and know that it was not only unethical, immoral, against our own historical policies, procedures, and ethics, but also illegal. But. Nice of y’all to finally say it out loud. 🤬🤬🤬

We never thought we would see a murderer welcomed with open arms in the White House.
Bone-sawed body parts don't just "happen."
Disgusting.
Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."

For those who refuse to take a win that Republicans passed the Epstein Bill with unanimous consent (save for 1 lone R) you’re missing how MASSIVE this is.

The minority party just put the majority party on their heels. Forcing them, the DOJ, & the Reality TV Fascist to acquiesce to THEIR demands. 🧵

Americans are slowly winning against the Trump regime. Trump and MAGA are having a meltdown. Careful though, a cornered animal is unpredictable and dangerous.

How very confusing. If there isn’t anything there, then why fight so hard to keep them from being released? Is it because A) everything incriminating Trump is scrubbed, B) he couldn’t delay it because Grijalva was the final signature on releasing the Epstein files, or C) all the above. 🤔

Medical care saves lives. Wage garnishment ruins them. It’s time to end wage garnishment for medical debt and to stop treating people like criminals because they got sick.
Ohio lawmakers propose bill to protect patients from medical debt collections and wage garnishment
The bill would prohibit medical debt from appearing on credit reports, ban wage garnishment and cap interest at 3%, down from the current 8%.

MAGA members are splitting on their defense of Trump and the Epstein disclosures. When will the Trump regime release an unredacted version of the Epstein files?

Thank you!
On October 31, a federal judge permanently barred the administration & the Election Assistance Commission from making changes in election administration that are vested in Congress & the States. New Executive Orders are threatened. We remain vigilant. www.lwv.org/newsroom/pre... @lwvus.bsky.social
