Dems should probably be running ads about how Republicans are gutting health coverage and SNAP to pay themselves.
They are straight up robbing taxpayers blind at this point and not even trying to hide it. Just ransacking the treasury out in the open. This motherfucker pleaded guilty! www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Fun fact: the U.S. hasn't issued a formal declaration of "war" since 1942, making the "need" to change the name silly at best, and unnecessarily costly at worst.

“Department of War” Name Change, Which Isn’t Even Official, Will Cost $2 Billion
The move prioritizes “political theater over responsible governance,” a group of Democrats said in a statement.

I hope if nothing else it opens people's eyes to what's going on. I used to consistently hear "the media just wants clicks/ratings." If they wanted that they would be doggedly pursuing the Epstein story. But what they actually want is to help Trump rule us and ultimately enslave us
Any other time, any other President, and "the dude was in a global conspiracy to fuck them kids" would have been 24/7 coverage. Even Dubya.
I remember the fucking Lewinsky coverage. Our media have become craven hacks carrying water for rich pedophiles and I feel insane typing that but there it is.

I brought these stats up at the other place but consider this: Not only has there only been six Black directors nominated for Best Director (all of them men), there’s never been a two-time nominee in that category.

And we knew this. This wasn't speculation. We studied it, we had the talking points. We trained volunteers to explain this to people. It's not a surprise. Rich people don't flee places with good quality of life when we increase the quality of life. They might try to cheat us, but they don't leave.
