My kid will be 17 years and 10 months on election day next year. Can they vote? No? Because they're not 18.
Dershowitz: The predecessor on your show described Epstein as a convicted pedophile. He pleaded guilty to one count of having sex for money with a 17-year-and-10-month-old person. That’s not a pedophile.

30 million now? It was 20 million, which was always bullshit
JD Vance: "A lot of young people are saying housing is way too expensive. Why is that? Because we flooded the country with 30 million illegal immigrants who were taking houses that ought by right go to American citizens."

Republicans will never develop a healthcare plan because Obamacare is the market based solution they insist will work.

For profit healthcare will always prioritize constantly increasing revenue and profits.

Building affordable housing will not help the housing crises. Landlords will buy the newly constructed, affordable housing, and rent it out for more profit.

Restricting who can own housing and how much housing they can own will address the housing crises.

The Kremlin disguised a nearly $100 mn payment to Trump in the form of a brokered real estate deal... and both Jeffrey Epstein and William Pulte were involved in the deal. That's very interesting.

Who paid Kavanaugh's debts off when he was seated?
Jeffrey Epstein advised Steve Bannon that the lawyers representing Brett Kavanaugh in his confirmation hearing should accuse Christine Blasey Ford of being on medications that cause false memories or memory loss.

What? There is bad stuff in the newly released Epstein files? I am shocked.
As Trump burns down the USA to prevent the release of the Epstein files please remember that Biden could've released them at any time.

OSCAR ISAAC, on whether he'd return to "Star Wars":

".. Yeah. I mean, I’d be open to it, although right now I’m not so open to working with Disney. But if they can kinda figure it out and, you know, not succumb to fascism, that would be great."

Honestly kinda insulting. Trump has repeatedly said we have made $18 trillion from tariffs. That's $54,545.50 for every American ( assuming population is 330 million ).

Just send everyone a $50,000 check.
lmfao he knows he's unpopular so he's trying to hit the affordability button by sending out checks with his name on it again

This deal to reopen the government is fucking disgraceful.

Tens of millions will lose their healthcare. Trump will be emboldened.

This is exactly what’s wrong with Democratic Party leadership and why we need more people in Congress who will actually hold the line.
