It’s amazing that after 15 years, the GOP is FINALLY coalescing around a healthcare plan of sorts and it essentially amounts to “fuck it, you do it.”
Trump: "THE ONLY HEALTHCARE I'LL SUPPORT OR APPROVE IS SENDING MONEY DIRECTLY BACK TO THE PEOPLE W/ NOTHING GOING TO THE BIG, FAT, RICH INSURANCE COMPANIES, WHO HAVE RIPPED OFF AMERICA LONG ENOUGH. THE PEOPLE WILL BE ALLOWED TO NEGOTIATE & BUY THEIR OWN, MUCH BETTER, INSURANCE. POWER TO THE PEOPLE!"

Meuser: "We have some great things happening in our economy. This whole inflation debate -- when Reagan came in, he took 2, 3 years to start bringing down inflation with high interest rates. The president has corrected inflation just in 4, 5, 6, 8 months."

NEW: Trump is pissed that he can't pardon state crimes, and promises "harsh measures" if she's not released from prison. She was sentences to 9 years for stealing voter info for Trump.

The only reason we know anything about the Epstein files is because the survivors refused to give up.

This release is about the the bravery & tenacity of the survivors who continue to fight for justice in a system seeking to crush, silence, and erase them.

This article is utterly damning for the New York Times and also for Vanity Fair and ABC, whose editorial teams were apparently intimidated into silence by a mix of legal and violent threats. Virginia Giuffre did not stand a chance against all this.
This story by @davidfolkenflik.bsky.social about Landon Thomas, former NYT reporter now appearing in the latest email tranche, soliciting a $30k contribution from Jeffrey Epstein?

Yes, you can read it here

Like I dunno, maybe the reason it took a lady to break open the story of all the men protecting the dude trafficking underage girls is because the male journos were all emailing him making jokes about it?

The excuses they’re giving for why they wouldn’t buy a 20 dollar can of formula for a hungry baby. This experiment is the best thing I’ve ever seen. So many churches all mad they failed. Their own congregations calling them out today on that failure.

Okay now the preachers are crashing out. One made a video where he said the only reason the mosque offered to buy baby formula was because they were obligated to, whereas Christian churches are about hope? Seriously? Then another went on a tirade in the church today calling it all woke scams.

TikToker called religious centers asking for help to buy baby formula, just to see if any of them would help. She called 20+ places & got a response only from a mosque and a tiny little Appalachia church. The mosque asked only 2 questions: what's your location & what kind of formula do you need 😭❤️
