The Epstein files confirm that former Secretary-General of the Council of Europe Thorbjørn Jagland is a Russian agent and traitor to Norway. He is the Vidkun Quisling of the 21st century.

I picked up on Thorbjørn’s treachery as I did Trump’s: he always acts in Russia’s interest.

Martin, an 18-year-old citizen and soccer player, traveled with his Madison-area team to Minneapolis for a Futsal tournament (which my kid's team was going to play in, then opted out). While there, ICE stopped Martin and took his mom, who has been detained since.

The federal government is stealing our neighbors and then slandering them, telling us our neighbors are dangerous criminals. They hate our neighbors because our neighbors aren't white and they want to cleanse the country of them, and then the monsters don't even have the guts to be honest about it.

Should a single CEO who communicated with Epstein post 2008 maintain their livelihood?
This is bleak: Jes Staley, currently CEO of Barclays, reassuring Epstein that popular revolt against financial elites is unlikely because capitalism and pop culture have defanged social movements, leaving people more invested in consumption than justice.

69 million women shouldn't have to choose between their married name and their right to vote. The #SAVEAct is a direct attack on the 19th Amendment. Let’s stop #HR22 before it stops us. 🗳️🚫 #StopTheSAVEAct #WomenVoters #VoteReady

The SAVE Act would require American citizens to show documents like a passport or birth certificate to register to vote. Our research shows that more than 21 million Americans lack ready access to those documents. bit.ly/4rA2p4R
