Trump created something they call:

"BABY JAIL"

There are hundreds of preschoolers, toddlers & babies in this "BABY JAIL!"
HUNDREDS!

And it's all being paid for on your dime, with your taxpayer dollars & being done in your name!

Imagine the trauma, the harm, the abuse!

BABY JAIL!

Here's a story that flew under the radar. Of course it happened during the Convicted Felon Donald Trump regime.

In a damning feat of corruption, Sen. Jon Husted took money from Les Wexner, one of Epstein's co-conspirators, as recently as July 2025. Two months later, Husted voted to block the release of the Epstein files.

From 2001 to 2025, Husted has taken $116,892 from Wexner. #OHSEN

Examples of "the best government that money can buy" are becoming more depressing. Ohio Republican Senator Jon Husted accepted more than $115,000 in campaign contributions from Les Wexner, one of 6 people listed as Epstein's co-conspirators, and then voted against releasing the Epstein files.

Ghislaine Maxwell lied on her US citizenship application. She checked the no box when asked if she had ever procured anyone for prostitution.
She had been trafficking since 1994. This could get another 25 years added to her sentence.

Honored to be endorsed by the @HoustonChron for Congressional District 9 in Texas- I will fight to level the playing field for the working people in our district!
