The Justice Department has 13 days to release the Epstein documents. The FBI paid nearly $1M in overtime to redact the FILES. Do you think congress will actually get to see everything? I highly doubt it. 🔄

Since we can’t ever expect Mike Johnson to do the right thing, we’re forcing a vote on extending ACA tax credits. And we only need four more members to sign the petition to make it happen.

@handsoffnyc.bsky.social is training thousands of New Yorkers on how to protect their neighbors from ICE. Today, they are currently running two trainings in Brooklyn and the Bronx, both of which hit capacity because interest was so high.

Near Boston, Mary, Joseph, and Jesus are absent from a Nativity scene, replaced with a sign reading "ICE was here."

Layoffs have hit over 1.1M so far this year — the most since the pandemic.
Yet corporate profits continue to hit record highs, with corporations increasingly spending those earnings on stock buybacks to enrich execs and shareholders.
This is what a rigged economy looks like.

Been listening to a lot of supposedly true scary stories about cryptids etc. Anyway, I know why they keep coming back. Not a single home owner has yelled at them to get off their lawn.
