Epstein-related reporting raises serious, disqualifying questions about Donald Trump. Congress must act now.
You don’t have to call your own rep. Call ANY Republican House office and demand impeachment immediately.
Silence is complicity. Delay is a cover-up.

Already happening.

Alabama, Idaho, Iowa, Kentucky, Michigan, New Mexico, Ohio, West Virginia, and Wisconsin — have or have proposed laws that allow for younger workers, even as young as 14, to work in establishments that serve alcohol.

They tried ending OSHA…who cares about keeping workers safe?!
Next they’ll probably try to lower restrictions for child labor laws - or is that already in the works?

People retiring later means no jobs or promotions for younger people.

Then there's other people who eat garbage, stay up all night tweeting their inner hostility, treat everyone around them like shit, never exercise outside of stepping on and off of a golf cart, and apparently live forever if they diddle enough children.
The good, they die young, but evil persists.

In the 50's, the effective tax rate for the top 1% of taxpayers was approximately 42% to 45% when considering all federal, state, and local taxes. Let's go back to these.

Or we could MAKE the 1% pay their fair share taxes (meaning no billionaires and only tax those who make over millions of dollars) would improve quality of life for everyone else where WE DONT have to work like slaves to survive pay check to pay check.

Trump 2.0 is turning America into a gulag-riddled hellscape. And don't kid yourself that these extrajudicial concentration camps will only house violent criminals-- ultimately, they'll hold anyone who disagrees with the edicts of an authoritarian dictator ruling over a brutal fascist police state.
Here is the blueprint for the wannabe dictator’s "hub & spoke" network. These 23 cities are being turned into militarized logistics hubs.

The Felon is building the infrastructure for a military state by converting huge warehouses into mega-prison camps. 1/2

ICE are not "good guys with guns". They are violent, trigger-happy thugs, ginned up to a fever pitch and being paid for doing what they already love doing-- brutalizing, maiming and yes, even killing innocent Americans who interfere with their systematic ethnic cleansing of black and brown people.
happening this morning in Minneapolis -- ICE agents drawing guns on observers. I reiterate again that it is only a matter of time before DHS kills more innocent people in Minnesota. Congress needs to shut this shit down right now.

WOW: State leaders say NH Governor Kelly Ayotte lied about her knowledge of ICE's plan to build a giant human warehouse in the state.

Documents obtained by @aclu-nh.bsky.social show the state government has known for weeks about the Merrimack facility bc ICE is actively pursuing legal approval.

There's a prominent Republican congressman who met his current wife when she was in high school and he was in his 40s, and it's just treated like no big deal by his caucus.

Worth remembering when they dismiss the Epstein Files stuff as no big deal.
this might sound bad. but if you look into the story it's actually much, much worse prospect.org/2022/04/08/h...
