What can one do except weep for a country whose leaders would vilify a woman killed in front of her wife and dog like this, by a masked man whose reaction to ending someone’s life is to call her a fucking bitch?

Jeffrey Epstein was never 'just a distraction' - not to MAGA which saw him as the embodiment of immoral liberal hypocrisy, and which is much madder about their bubble bursting than any Medicaid cuts

What Dems must learn from the Epstein meltdown. My new column www.inquirer.com/opinion/comm...
MAGA cares more about Jeffrey Epstein than dying without Medicaid, which explains everything
MAGA rage over the Trump regime's failure to show an Epstein conspiracy reveals what matters inside a right-wing bubble.

Republicans think they are immune to backlash over OBBBA and Trump’s failures on the cost of living because they think Democrats won’t run candidates with acceptable views on culture and energy.

The job is to prove them wrong.

When Trump said, Iran is ‘very close’ to building a nuclear bomb—it was a self-own.

Today RFK Jr took the single biggest step towards destroying childhood vaccines

When @nytimes asked me in December whether RFK could kill the vaccine program - I said he’d have to remove CDCs ACIP

And… that’s exactly what he just did today

Not good-just like that we cannot trust CDC on vaccines
