Unacceptable.

The US President is deeply troubled and unfit for the position he holds.
When asked if there was anything "incriminating" in Epstein's emails, Trump pointed a finger in a female reporter's face and snapped. 'Quiet. Quiet, Piggy.'

It was an Epstein shutdown all along. Trump is frantically trying to twist arms at the White House, in the Situation Room to have members of congress remove their names from the discharge petition.

Something absolutely horrible is in the Epstein Files.
There was always something inexplicably strange about the recent government shutdown. From the beginning, it was crystal clear what Democrats wanted: lower health care costs, affordability and for a lawless president to start obeying the law.

But what about the Republicans?

There apparently is a ‘situation’
“.. in the Situation Room.” 👀
Q: "Why are White House officials…meeting with Rep. Boebert in an effort to try to get her to not sign this petition calling for the release of the [Epstein] files?"

Leavitt: "I'm not going to detail conversations that took place in the situation room."

An important message from AOC. Come together and fight fascism!!! Let's go. Now's the time.
AOC: We have a future to fight for, and we're either going to do that together or you're going to be left behind. It's not about Progressive. It's not moderate, it's not liberal. This is about do you understand the assignment of fighting fascism right now? And the assignment is you come together…

Gotta say, I'm feeling hopeful this morning. Now if only Dems can organize, force ACA subsidies, open the gvt., release the Epstein files with this obvious mandate!! Americans hate authoritarians.

Unfortunately, this is all true. We have few options for ending this nightmare but this is one of them.

I voted Yes on Prop 50 and I hope you will too.
SNAP cut off. Children and seniors going hungry.

ACA premiums skyrocketing, huge cuts to Medicaid and Medicare.

Trump and Republicans would rather see Americans get sick and starve than negotiate.

We MUST win the midterms and that starts with #YesOnProp50!

One of the most serious existential threats we face, in my view.
The richest man on earth owns X.

The second richest man on earth is about to acquire TikTok and his family could soon own both Paramount and Warner Bros.

The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post.
