The Epstein coverup will go down as one of the greatest scandals and miscarriages of justice in U.S. history.
Everyone involved with Epstein’s victims or with the coverup needs to be prosecuted and go down in shame.
It does not matter if they are GOP or Dems!
Repost if you agree.

Yet there are a lot more of us not-rich folks. We should be able to run things, but the republicans have conned the dumbest of us into supporting the rich.
Everyday Americans get nickel and dimed while the rich dodge taxes.
They struggle to get by while the wealth of the 1% skyrockets.
They see their voices drowned out while the well-connected avoid accountability.
There are two sets of rules in America: One for the rich. Another for everyone else.

In the global electrification race China is marching ahead.

Most Americans agree we need to get money out of politics. If that takes a constitutional amendment, then that's what we have to do. And if that's going to take years, then it's all the more reason to begin pushing now.

I think it's meaningfully that Trump changed Department of Defense to Department of War.
Pror to the change "defense" implied we only fight to defend ourselves. Trump changed that to mirror Putin's and Netanyahu's philosophy of aggressive imperialism.
Trump is the President of War.

Right. After decades of defunded schools and insane religious propaganda, we have a slight majority of dummies, enough to swing elections.
I remember in 2016 when Trump was first running for president that, as I observed his crowds, I thought, "Wow, this election seems like it's between intelligent people and idiots."
I wasn't wrong.

Increase in productivity since 1979: 87%
Increase in hourly pay since 1979: 32%
Just so happens that ~25% of workers were unionized in 1979. Today? 10%.
As unions declined, the super-rich have taken a larger share of wealth generated by labor. We must build back union power.

I'm still waiting to see one positive attribute in trump.
America's most notorious child rapist, Jeffrey Epstein, said this man was the worst person he'd ever met. Let that sink in.

It's hard to see this any other way. It's like sending ICE into quiet cities with no urgent troubles, just to stir things up and make a distraction.

Just a reminder, the coward who refused to accept an election loss in 2020 and then committed crimes trying to overthrow that election will certainly cheat, abuse his powers, and break the law to try to win the 2026 & 2028 elections.
He’s a real threat to democracy. Believe it.

Nobody is "splitting hairs."
Epstein, and probably trump, were hebephiles and ephebophiles—guys who were into pubescent and older teenagers. True pedophiles go for pre-pubescent kids.
Technical terms should be respected in the media, lest everything come to mean nothing.

"There is a lot more." Rep. Garcia shares the DOJ is hoarding files from federal Epstein investigations. "Photographs, possibly videos, they have information we need to actually bring justice to the survivors and to implicate the wealthy and powerful men that abused and raped children and women."
