So in spring, Pam Bondi said there was nothing to the Epstein investigation, then “closed” it. Now, they “find” 1 million more docs.
So did she close this without seeing these docs? Or was someone hiding them?

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.

I fear today we no longer have a democratic republic. We have the appearance of a democracy. Proof? Look at the issues that have +50% public support that Congress won’t act on. When big corporations and wealthy donors want something, Congress jumps.

If the Epstein files have proven anything, it’s that the justice system isn’t broken; it’s working exactly as it was built to do: to shield the rich and powerful from accountability while victims are buried, ignored, or silenced.

Please step up and do the right thing. This vile man raped and molested children. DO YOU HAVE KIDS? 👇👇👇

I wouldn't begin to know how those agents read all of the sick things Trump did to children and felt they should cooperate with hiding them.
They must not have kids themselves.

Imagine watching Sinatra, son of Dolly & Antonini born in Genoa & Sicily, respectively, and Martin, son of Gaetano & Angela, born in Montesilvano, Italy & Ohio respectively, (Angela to parents born in Monasterolo, Italy), and crusading against the value of children of immigrants to the U.S.

ICE showed up on private property without a Warrant and was sneaking around so when the one of the owners showed up he told them to get off the property and they did because they know that what they were doing was illegal and they're being watched by everyone now including Judges

Peeps, you DO realize that our non-white friends and neighbors...are now carrying their birth certificates and passports so they can PROVE they are US citizens "just in case"?
There is NO version of America where this is OK. Defund ICE. Restore due process and rule of law.
