The rest of the repubs must tell trump to resign.

We are only going to see the sanitized versions.
Now Trump claims he’s eager to release the Epstein files.
But how can we trust evidence released by the Trump DOJ?
Remember, Trump fought to install an AG (Matt Gaetz) the House Ethics Ctte found likely solicited a minor.
When that failed, he brought in Bondi, a toady who always does his bidding.

Never vote for a republican. They only work for the wealthy and take from the middle class. Don't take my word for it look around and see Medicaid and Medicare taking one hit after another.

Huevos rancheros and chorizo with homemade refried pinto beans, pico de gallo, and sour cream. Looks a mess, but it's one of the most delicious meals I've made in a while.

I would make one correction; they cannot get away with calling them young women. They are children and trump is on a dark path.

Eagleman is a genuine piece of shit. He's one of the reasons I quit Twitter. I got tired of proving him wrong.

Billionaires are funding campaigns now. The politicians are no longer reliant on the average person. We have to turn that around.
The American political class is so disconnected from voters that they don’t realize that regular folks are totally down with a giant pan partisan jail cell holding everyone involved with Epstein’s crimes.

I don't agree with what Luigi Mangione did but I'm starting to gain sympathy for him.
You know who has Universal Healthcare provided by the government? Folks in Argentina do and the US taxpayers sent them $40 Billion Dollars so they can keep it. How are your premiums doing?

We need to see the Epstein files the FBI are holding.
So, as we’re all, uh, a little bit staggered by the latest round of Epstein email—these aren’t the actual files yet, are they? They still have to vote on releasing that, right? Or have I completely lost track of things?
