You remember who else knew about child abuse and did nothing? The Catholic Church and Boy Scouts of America.
What happened to them?

They are actually trying to be better! Trump isn't.

This is MUCH WORSE than Watergate. The Trump Epstein scandal involves raping children. And we know Trump was fully aware of what Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell were doing. Trump should RESIGN!

This is what America needed in the 1930s, and if we are to survive the Oligarch's Parasite caused collapse, we need it now.
81 years ago, FDR proposed a second Bill of Rights to guarantee every American the right to employment, healthcare, education, housing, and a living income. His words are as relevant now as they were then. Watch.

Republicans once again see that taking hostages is a great strategy.
Dems didn't even get out ahead and say "We are dealing with psychopaths, and see that they are willing to hurt all of you for tax cuts. So we're going to stop them hurting you until we can get the psychos out"

And Chuck Schumer must have taken that as permission.

Reduce emissions by 80%

Soft secession. Blue states building parallel systems, withholding cooperation, and creating facts on the ground that render federal authority meaningless within their borders.
“Without state cooperation, much of the federal government’s agenda becomes unenforceable.”

It's important to note that not only do millions rely on non-profits, but there are another couple of million Americans who are employed by non-profits.
If the government picks winners in the non-profit sector that's also going to drive up unemployment and drive down wages.
