Well damn, here's an idea!
Maybe we should just offer Trump $3B to leave office. Would be the best money America ever spent.

DOJ briefly uploaded this letter from Jeff Epstein to serial child molester Larry Nassar:
"Our president shares our love of young, nubile girls. When a young beauty walked by he loved to 'grab snatch,' whereas we ended up snatching grub in the mess halls of the system."

During the holiday season, we all want to spend time with our loved ones.
And yet, just two months after buying Walgreens for $10 billion, the private equity firm Sycamore Partners stripped hourly workers of paid vacation, including Christmas and New Year’s Day.
Shameful.

Merry fucking Christmas from CDC leadership 🎄🔥 Multiple Title 42 scientists recently had their contracts renewed--then days before Christmas were told the renewals were a mistake. Some are now being told they may have to pay back salary earned in the interim.

🔥Thirty people dying in ICE custody isn’t a glitch — it’s a system built on neglect and zero accountability. If any other agency had a death toll like this, there’d be national outrage. With ICE, we’re told to look away. I won’t.🔥
