Nine years ago, at a political event in Brooklyn, I met a rising star, freshman Congressman Hakeem S. Jeffries.
As a Hasidic Jew, I was struck by how warmly he engaged with me, showing a deep respect for my faith and community, something not all elected officials take the time to do. 🧵

The Epstein files cover-up is starting to make Watergate look like a parking ticket Richard Nixon forgot to pay.

LISTEN: There are a lot of folks out here working tirelessly to get the truth out there. Replying to us that nothing matters because there'll be no consequences is not only incorrect, but it belittles the work we do. It's insulting and shortsighted. Stop following us if you don't want the info.

The Epstein files mention two presidents, Bill Clinton and Donald Trump.
One is mentioned around 250 times, and one is mentioned, according to most analyses, 38,000 times.
One has called for the release of every damn file from day one, and one keeps changing his position but has called it a hoax

Trump will start saying soon that he isn't confident that we'll have fair elections in the 2026 midterms, so he can't commit to accepting the results.
He does it in case he loses, and here it looks like a certainty.
He did it in 2016.
He did it in 2020.
He did it in 2024.

Trump’s economic chaos keeps me up at night. Rent, groceries, healthcare, what keeps you up?
We need an economy that’s affordable and stable and even a little boring. Maybe then, we can sleep.

"Don Lemon deserved it" memes being shared by the same free speech absolutists who cried "censorship" over Nick Fuentes' Holocaust jokes is truly the most consistent ideology of all time.
Who knew that "hear both sides" only applies when the other side is chanting, "Jews will not replace us?"

Donald Trump just posted this.
The ICE agents' "new and expensive" vehicle keeps him up at night, but he cares less that his hooligans fired a flurry of rounds at a U.S. citizen's incapacitated body because HE made it clear they'll have full immunity.
This is so cruel.

Trump created a crisis over Greenland, which, based on statements from world leaders, he could've gotten this "concept of a deal" through respectful negotiations.
