Super weird that Trump wanted a sex trafficker as his Attorney General. I wonder why he would contemplate something like that.

This is not an aberration, nor is it a titillating tale of pervy old guys.
The oppression of women, including via sexual crimes, is a pillar of the global POLITICAL economy.
It's why power & wealth are distributed as they are: maintaining that distribution requires collective action by many men.

When this goes down, social media is going to be flooded with AI generated images of Democrats in compromised situations. Thankfully, our sophisticated news outlets will surely deal with these in an effective and honest manner.

I wonder if it'll turn out that Trump personally seized the materials recovered at Jeffrey Epstein's townhouse and he's been using them to coerce many people since then.

The central question is always "Should people be able to get health insurance that covers a pre-existing condition?" and it all flows from there. It's super easy to structure a discussion that starts there and there avoids this sort of nonsense.
Comer: "This is a fake economy. You can't have 1/3 of America receiving some type of free government healthcare and then have another 1/3 that's getting a subsidized rate. That falls on the final 1/3 that's having to pay increased premiums."

Yeah but Trump will use this to take a cut of the tariffs. “If Obama could do it it’s only fair I do it too!”
With a “WOW!,” President Trump posts a claim about DOGE and “royalties linked to Obamacare” that originated on a satirical website. That site’s own About section reads: “Everything on this website is fiction… If you believe that it is real, you should have your head examined.”

“a possible future with no food”, in the richest country on the planet.
New — While some states have received SNAP benefits for November and USDA is supposedly pushing through all federal payments soon, that doesn’t erase the psychological terror of the last few weeks.
I spoke with 20+ SNAP recipients in 16 states about preparing for a possible future with no food:

Very disappointed in my alma mater. But then again, they're the ones that produced Leonard Leo so this was quite the boomerang.
Breaking News: Cornell University reached an agreement with the Trump administration that would restore hundreds of millions in funding to the university. It's expected to pay a $30 million fine to the government and to invest $30 million in agriculture and farming programs.
Cornell Reaches Deal with Trump Administration to Restore Research Funds
The Ivy League university had warned of layoffs after the Trump administration stripped it of funds this year. The cuts were among the deepest in higher education.

Tens of millions of Americans hate women so much that they enabled this rather than elect female candidates as POTUS.

Biden made a rule where you could get compensated if your flight got cancelled.
Trump eliminated that rule and just cancels the flights himself.
