The Epstein cover up is what all of this is meant to distract from. We can root out fraud & get Justice for Epstein victims - keep demanding to release the Epstein files.

Michael Cohen is correct - Trump is leading us into war under a rationale that would justify the United Kingdom reclaiming the original 13 colonies. A war that may not limit itself to Venezuela, given that it disrupts shipping bound for China. Who voted for this?

Both parties share responsibility for not effectively addressing the unsustainable costs of actual health care inherent to our health care system. However, it is the Republican Party that continues to block all workable solutions yet has offered none of their own for over 3 decades.

Michael Cohen articulates this well. Trump can’t lie, distract, & bluster most folks into believing things are peachy when, nearly a full year into his term, voters can no longer afford their lives. All while he wastes taxpayer money on ego indulgences like military parades & a massive ballroom.

From the Washington Post - the Netflix deal to buy Warner Bros. raised enough anti-trust concerns. But given that this new Paramount Skydance offer is a debt-based one backed by Jared Kushner & his Middle Eastern prince buddies also raises emoluments & national security concerns.

Throwing soldiers under the bus to save their own asses after ordering them to commit acts considered to be murder under any circumstances, even during war. Typical of a regime headed by a draft dodger who called fallen soldiers “losers & suckers.” 😡

Tell me you are in a cult without saying you are in a cult, Megyn. You disgust me and every other decent person on the planet. If your “team” requires you to defend the sex trafficking and sexual abuse of minors of any age, you are on the wrong f—ing team.

From Meidas Touch. Pay attention to how your members of Congress vote on the Epstein Files discharge petition. With all of the denial, blocking & stalling, it’s become as much about who has been protecting the pedophiles & sex traffickers as it is about who those criminals are. 🙈🙉🙊⚖️

The same people who support this demolition and desecration threw temper tantrums about removing confederate statues, renaming military bases, & redesigning the Cracker Barrel logo. It’s a cult they are trying to force us all to join.

Paul & I decided to join the antifa crowd today in two locations. Dunno if we will get double checks from George Soros as a result, though! 🙄😜😆 Seriously, our democracy & rights are under assault & it was really uplifting to see so many folks attend today! 🔥⚡️🥳🥰

Since when has the USA ever let ANY foreign country, let alone one with ties to terrorist organizations, build a military base on our own soil??? 😳😠 The gifted plane & real estate deals for Trump from Qatar are getting more & more expensive every day for the American people - & not just financially.

From Heather Cox Richardson. Putin knows what MAGA denies: Trump is weak, ignorant, easy to manipulate, & increasingly unpopular. Will Trump allow Putin to start WWIII in Europe? It seems more & more likely that Trump will even as he whines how much he desires the shiny bobble of a Nobel Peace Prize

From the Wash Post. Too few people now own our media companies, & they want to consolidate even more. Trump & his FCC Chair will allow it if they in turn silence MAGA critics. As with most issues these days, this situation is less left v. right or red v. blue than the super rich v. the rest of us.

From The Guardian. Let’s say it loudly & clearly so that the young girls & women we love can hear it: No man, not even your husband, has a right to lay violent hands on you - ever. Period. Full stop. 🛑 That the POTUS would say otherwise is disgraceful misogyny.

From today’s Washington Post. Hang onto your wallets! Health insurance costs are expected to rise between 9% & 75%, depending on your plan. Even employer-based plans are not exempt, expected to rise in the 9% range. Soooo much winning! 🙄🤨🤕 Stagflation 🤒🤧😵💫
