This is the FBI’s list of “Prominent Names” it was tracking in the Epstein Case. This list appears in this slide show, FBI email correspondence, and FBI tip sheets — all of which I saw unredacted today. Believe the survivors.

You can see this file on DOJ’s website

A hateful, vendictive and evil man named Donald Trump, manufactured a trade crisis and brought our rebounding economy, under president Biden, to a staggering halt. American families are going broke and Donald Trump and MAGA Republicans are to blame.

We'll see you at the next election.

If these MFers actually wanted to "protect kids", they would:

Pass gun control
Stop demonizing vaccines
Fund education and healthcare
Punish every single creep in the Epstein files

Censoring the internet does nothing to actually help kids. It only makes them ignorant.

I will never claim that he was perfect…every president in my lifetime has pissed me off for one reason or another.
But…dammit, I’m so tired of the constant feeling of uneasiness and uncertainty 😔

I know you've heard that a federal judge ordered the release of 5 year old Liam Conejo Arias and his father, and that they're now home.

But did you look at the judge's order?

I’m thankful for Trump

Without him I have never paid more attention to politics as I have in the last 10 years

I’ve never appreciated the rights I have as a US citizen

I’ve never thought our government would turn against it’s citizens

I was naive as to how stupid 30% of the population is

If you haven't contacted your Senators, WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR
As early as tomorrow morning, the Senate could hold its first procedural vote on the DHS funding bill — and it can’t pass without Democratic votes.

Tell your senators to hold the line and vote NO on giving more money to the regime’s death squads.
Tell your senators to rein in ICE NOW

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Amazon Web Services hosts massive surveillance systems for both ICE and DHS.

Citizens Bank provides nearly $1 trillion in credit & bonds to private prison companies.

AT&T has a $147 million contract to provide communications services to DHS.

Know who is profiting from ICE’s cruelty.

Can Donald Trump's mad-king drive to grab Greenland be stopped?

Yes, Congress can stop it. Rep. Jimmy Gomez (@gomez.house.gov) is trying with his Greenland Sovereignty Protection Act. I talked to him about that today.
