Thomas Jefferson was 44 when he began what many in 2025 STILL consider a romantic tryst or loving affair with Sally Hemings.
Ms. Hemings had no legal capacity to consent to such a relationship not only because she was enslaved, Jefferson's property,
BUT ALSO BECAUSE SHE WAS 14-YEARS-OLD. /1

The quickening pace of corruption - the brazen use of the White House to enrich himself and his friends - is stunning.
Soon, before we know it, government will no longer serve us at all. It will just be a mechanism to enrich billionaires loyal to Trump.

Kash Patel should never be allowed inside the FBI. He is perhaps the most dangerous of all the Trump nominees. He shamelessly wants to turn the agency into Trump's loyalty police.
I'm going to Senate floor at 4pm to raise the alarm for my Republican colleagues.
