Alan Dershowitz is one of those claiming Epstein was not a pedophile because he pleaded guilty to one count of having sex for money with a 17-year-and-10-month-old person. "That’s not a pedophile." See this important response from Julia Brown, the brave reporter who broke the news on this

My friends! Such great work.
For the last 16 years, this Winnetka couple has helped plant almost half a million fruit trees — mostly breadfruit — across the Caribbean and Africa, about 250,000 of those in Jamaica alone.
Breadfruit trees are climate-resilient and ensure food security post-hurricane. Gift link:

10,000% correct. Clinics and hospitals will close if more Mainers are forced to do without insurance coverage.
Tens of thousands of Maine people are facing skyrocketing health care costs because of Donald Trump and Susan Collins.
Maine people deserve affordable health care — not just the promise of a vote that won’t go anywhere.
Fight back.

Congress just dropped a so-called “minibus” deal to end the 40-day shutdown but it’s a surrender disguised as progress.
It funds veterans and agriculture but abandons the 20 million Americans who rely on ACA subsidies for health care.
A Band-Aid won’t fix a bleeding nation.

HELL YEAH! I went to a statewide Maine Indivisible convening a few weeks ago, and defeating this was the top priority from the group.
RESULT: Maine voters reject Question 1, a ballot measure that would have implemented a barrage of new voting restrictions, especially for mail voting.

Just to note, there is a well documented connection between mass in-person protest and election outcomes. I'm looking forward to the academic papers analyzing No Kings in October and turnout today.
No one should ignore or discount the significant effect that all the organizers of the NO KINGS rallies have had on this election night. It is monumental the influence you have had on this night.

There are many who dismiss our vision for New York as impossible. To them, I say we need look only to our past for proof of how we can shape the future.

What about HER decade of 20 speeding tickets, 3 failures to stop, a citation for driving without a license, and 6 failures to appear?

Undocumented immigrants paid $100 billion in taxes in 2022. It would cost $300 billion to deport them all. They're here, they're working, they're contributing. Give them a pathway to citizenship.
