Vote to reveal Epstein.

You know this, but please have Dems explicitly say, On The Floor, “who wants to lose their jobs over health care?”
- Hammer it.
- Dems hold town halls in neighbors’ districts.
- Dems will slay in 26 if vote isn’t passed or vetoed.

This morning, I was hit in the face by a baton.
I’m going to have a pretty gnarly bruise but we need to remember why this is happening: Trump and ICE are rounding up our neighbors, treating them as subhuman, and shipping them off to labor camps in foreign countries. It has to end.

Upon a time, I had a ride in a 4-wheel Isotta owned by a HS chum.
The 3-wheel version would have been oober cool, but they were the rarest & strangest of the strange.
Still, a weird beast: everything in front of your toes is the (front) door.

MAGA folk are zombies. They’ll sit, slack-jawed, and suck up every word Trump utters. True/false is irrelevant to them.
Next time someone on the right claims all the political violence in this country is coming from the left, not the right, do please show them this.
