David Brooks, who wrote in the NYT last month, "The Epstein Story? Count Me Out" is... in the latest Epstein photo dump published by @oversightdemocrats.house.gov.
He should absolutely be fired by NYT for this. Major conflict of interest that he didn't disclose.

Average household heating costs are up 9.2% from last year, on top of rising electricity costs.
Meanwhile, Trump gutted a program that helps low-income people heat their homes and is boosting construction of power-hungry AI data centers.

Firing over 100 immigration judges.
Arresting immigrants outside of their immigration hearings.
Pausing asylum decisions.
And now? Cancelling citizenship ceremonies, the final step to becoming a U.S. citizen.
Just remember that Trump never cared about "legal immigration."

Medicare for All would save $450B a year.
Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity.
Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall.
It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford.
It’s about priorities.

I stand with unionized Starbucks workers, who are on strike across the country right now for better wages and working conditions.
Until Starbucks strikes a fair bargain with its workers and ceases its union-busting behavior, I'll continue to boycott the company.

When Tim Cook brought the hunk of gold to the oval office I was saying this. Where are these public boards when their CEO's are offering bribes openly to a pedo, abuser, and best friend of the sex trafficker of the century? Can't imagine they voted for something as ghastly as a golden ballroom
Whether they realize it or not, all these CEOs getting in bed with Trump for short-term benefit to exploit his transactional corruption are self-inflicting long-term reputational damage to themselves personally and their brands. The stink of Trump never washes off.
