HEY DONALD
“Where do I go to report an immigrant who was working here illegally before obtaining a fraudulent visa, had an anchor baby, brought her family here through chain migration, and who’s currently living in government-funded housing and receiving free health care?”
RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES!

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.

Trump is pro pedophile.
After Ghislaine Maxwell lied to Todd Blanche, someone waived her sex offender status and moved her to Club Fed with "OUT" custody - allowing her to work outside the prison walls. 3 months ago, I got her Bureau of Prisons points screen as proof. We still don't know who approved all this.
BREAKING: EXCLUSIVE: Senator Whitehouse asked the BOP for Ghislaine Maxwells sex offender waiver, custody level, transfer code, and security point score. I have them. She's also been granted the ability to leave the facility for work assignments. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/exclusive-...

Illegal aliens are not buying houses in the US.
this has been a common refrain among the New Right on X, despite the fact that it makes absolutely no sense when you think about it
JD Vance: "A lot of young people are saying housing is way too expensive. Why is that? Because we flooded the country with 30 million illegal immigrants who were taking houses that ought by right go to American citizens."

Corruption beyond all imagination. This is today’s Republican Party.
Yes. This is precisely what happened.

ProPublica really coming through with the receipts on Fox News airing misleading coverage of Portland to spur Trump into sending the National Guard there.

But this is really the cherry on top...

Rest assured that any Republican concept will be leaving many people stranded without care and most paying outlandish fees for poor coverage. It’s just the way the Party thinks. They fundamentally believe the government shouldn’t be involved, and throwing people to the wolves is the free market way.
lol, we're still on "concepts of a plan" here
NEW: As health insurance bills rise, Republicans are still seeking an Obamacare alternative

There is no legislative product yet.

No consensus in the party about a plan.

But top GOP lawmakers and policy figures on Capitol Hill have begun discussing concepts.

This is what losing global power and respect looks like. This is all because we elected a crazy power hungry narcissistic pedophile to lead us. Good job America.

Squandering your tax money on....Argentina? 🤔
More money to Argentina.
For Trump, "America First" means drawing into deep reserves to bailout Javier Milei, Argentina's wannabe dictator. This is beyond the $40 billion we already knew about. www.ft.com/content/2730...

That's ~0.4% of the total number of people on SNAP... and probably is because next of kin forgot or did not know they had to cancel.

This cannot be stressed enough--Trump/GOP immigration overreach has turned ICE into a losing cause. No one wants masked federal agents randomly disappearing people, zip tying citizens, and tear gassing children
This has gotten lost: Abigail Spanberger won big after vowing to RESCIND Glenn Youngkin's executive order directing local cooperation with ICE and voting AGAINST the anti-immigrant Laken Riley Act. Yet she gained bigly with working class.

New piece laying this out:

The SVU episode about Epstein and Ghislaine, made because the story was well-known enough that people would watch it and immediately know it was “ripped from the headlines”, aired on February 2, 2011
"Convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein" is a phrase that first appeared in newspapers in March 2011 and appeared regularly from that point onward. it is INCONCEIVABLE to me that this many people were still associating with him!!
November 13, 2025 at 4:59 PM
Trump’s complicity with Epstein is laid bare in these emails. He knew of the abuse and winked back at it at the very least. “…some of them are a little on the young side”.

A lot of people have been pointing this out for years.
MAGA spent years falsely calling Democrats a cabal of pedophiles. Now it’s clear Trump’s world has been protecting a predator of their own, and I’m not talking about Epstein.

No lie detected.
The Epstein Saga Is the Biggest Political Cover-up in Modern History

The release of Epstein's emails reaffirms Donald Trump's close association with the world's most notorious pedophile and reveals the biggest, ongoing political cover-up in modern history.

The crassness of Trump is only matched by his cruelty and criminality.
It's not about winning wars you asshole. It's about remembering and honouring those who fought and died for democracy against fascism. Fascism you have brought to the United States. F*ck off! #cdnpoli
