It should go without saying, but the president has no authority to do this, and anyone reporting the story needs to say as such.

Everyone (esp media) pay attention. In 2021 almost every Republican attacked the Biden administration and State dept for being too slow in approving Afghanistan special visas as Afghanistan fell.
Now they are attacking Biden for doing what they asked him to do.

100% And the Epstein scandal at its heart is about elite impunity and rich people literally screwing ordinary Americans with no consequences. There is a direct through line between this and oligarchs and elites stripping gov't for parts, making life unaffordable, cutting health care, etc.
Hey here’s an idea! We can talk about Epstein AND affordability! There are a bunch of advisors who lived in a pre internet era who think you can land only one message at a time
The usual suspects are telling Dems that Epstein won’t win elections, get back to “affordability” and I think my head might explode. www.offmessage.net/p/force-a-re...

Some news: tomorrow at 9am, Ted Koppel + CBS Sunday Morning will air a two-part story on the devastating surge of full-time workers being pushed into homelessness.
I'll be interviewed along with two families from There Is No Place for Us. It would mean a lot if you'd watch and help spread the word.
