Yes, it's true. The US Attorney's office in New York prepared a draft of an announcement of Epstein's death that is dated one day BEFORE Epstein died.

Nothing fishy here....

Ossoff: We were told that MAGA was for working-class Americans. But this is a government of, by, and for the ultra-rich. It’s the wealthiest Cabinet ever. This is the Epstein class. They are the elites they pretend to hate.

I've never seen a party and president more terrified of American voters.

Let's make them right to be afraid.

I canceled my Washington Post subscription after Bezos axed the Kamala Harris endorsement. Not because of Harris, but because it was a watershed moment that showed us the WaPo had gone from being a public trust to Bezos' personal instrument. Everything since then has confirmed as much.

Jeff Bezos, one of the richest people on Earth, just eliminated hundreds of union jobs at the Washington Post.

BHATTACHARYA: I do not believe that the measles vaccine causes autism

SANDERS: Nah. Uh uh. I didn't ask measles. Do vaccines cause autism?

BHATTACHARYA: I have not seen a study that suggests any single vaccine causes autism
It is coming up. Not sure if there's enough votes or people to push it through yet, but it keeps coming up. Hopefully we will get there.
