It is estimated that 762,000 people have *already died* as a result of Elon Musk and Russell Vought’s obscene murder of USAID, including more than 500,000 children.

Please note that she's READING this. She PREPARED this as a rebuttal for questions about Epstein. She planned this, had someone write it down, and read it.
Bondi crashes out over Epstein: "The Dow is over 50,000 dollars! I don't know why you're laughing. You're a great stock trader as I hear, Raskin. The Dow is over 50,000 right now. The S&P at almost 7,000, and the Nasdaq smashing records. That's what we should be talking about."

Apparently a YouGov opinion poll saying 82% don't trust the media has been published today, maybe the media could stop their witch hunt against Starmer and ponder why they're not trusted.

Black History Month remains necessary. When people ask why it matters, the better question is why so many have tried to erase or minimize it.

This. And they tried to defame the white guy with a gun, too, because he didn't play for the right team. But the video evidence made their lies impossible for all but the most deluded MAGA to buy.
So it took the murder of a white man carrying a legally registered gun for personal protection to finally make some Republicans wake the fuck up? The murder of Renee Good wasn't enough I guess because she was a woman and gay. I'll take victories where we can, but none of this shit is ok!!!!!!!!! 🤬
