Jeffries: "The reason why Donald Trump is in full panic mode is because he knows the majority in the House is gone, and he's doing everything he can to try to cheat his way to an artificial victory."

Look, I know this weaponization of male academic interest is the oldest story in the book, but it’s just so, so pernicious. It’s awful to the women directly involved, but it’s also awful to *all* women in the academy, who have to live in its shadow all the time.

Do you know who is paying for Trump’s ballroom?
Amazon

And a bunch of other companies that coincidentally have business in front of the Trump Administration right now.
So are these companies getting special favors in return? I’m pressing for answers.

This is so so disturbing. Trump is now pardoning January 6th rioters for unrelated crimes, just to reward them for their violence to keep him in power.
The Republican Party is in the full time business of endorsing and incentivizing political violence. So scary.

Larry Summers emailing with Jeffrey Epstein about what seems to be a thinly veiled conversation about Summers wanting to sexually assault a younger mentee -- in 2018. TEN YEARS after Epstein pleaded guilty to state charges of solicitation of prostitution with a minor under the age of 18.
The emails have Summers reporting to Epstein about his attempts to date a Harvard economics student & to hit on her during a seminar she was giving.

To be very clear, Virginia Giuffre was made to say she mistakenly identified Alan Dershowitz as one of the people who sexually abused her. Here is the proof from this week's Epstein files dropped by the House Oversight Committee.
