Convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein paid Ohio State’s OB‑GYN chair quarterly thousands—while he ran his trafficking empire. He wasn’t a “donor”; he was buying influence. Ohio State, your silence is complicity. #Accountability #EpsteinFiles #EliteCorruption #GymJordan

Swalwell: Nobody wants to perform there. Everyone who had been booked is now canceling since this guy put his name on it. I think he’s trying to save himself the humiliation of no one wanting to perform there or go there.

When Gavin Newsom first entered public office, at the age of 28, there was a feeling that he would flourish without ascending to the top—too slick, too swank, too smug. Three decades later, the criticisms are the same, but his prospects have transformed. newyorkermag.visitlink.me/KV6N0q
Gavin Newsom Is Playing the Long Game
California’s governor has been touted as the Democrats’ best shot in 2028. But first he’ll need to convince voters that he’s not just a slick establishment politician.

🚨 This is what abuse of power looks like. Jonathan Ross, the ICE agent who killed Renee Nicole Good—a mother—needs to be held accountable. Cowardice, violence, and impunity cannot be tolerated. Minneapolis demands justice. #JusticeForRenee #EndAbuseOfPower #SayHerName

Gallego to Hegseth: "You will never ever be half the man that Sen. Kelly is. You, sir, are a coward. And the fact that you are following this order from the president shows how big of a coward you are. I can't wait until you are no longer the secretary of defense."

Right on!

Alabama finally has someone ready to fight for the Alabama instead of letting Tuberville, a non-resident drifter, run his mouth from Florida.

Doug is stepping in with actual roots, actual plans, and an actual stake in the future of the state.
#DougForAlabama
So I’ve made it official folks: I’ve filed the paperwork to run for Governor of Alabama. It’s time to remind this state of who we are and what we can accomplish together.

Today, after months of requests, I toured the Broadview ICE Processing Facility. I want to share what I saw.

The facility has no food vendor, no medical care, and detainees have to use toilets in the middle of shared cells. These are in no way suitable conditions to be holding anyone — period.

Hakeem Jeffries has appointed Eric Swalwell, Jasmine Crockett, Jared Moskowitz and Jamie Raskin to serve as the democratic members on the new January 6th committee. What great choices in my opinion, all four of these members will fight to make sure the truth is not whitewashed.
