Why are no major outlets talking about this story from the Epstein files about Trump witnessing the drowning of the baby of a girl he raped? What am I missing here?

Are you a business that's colluding with ICE? Caving to the biased attacks on DEI? Funding this administration for tax cuts?
Guess what? #WeAintBuyingIt Nov 27–Dec 1, instead we are putting our money where are values are.

I’ve never seen a clip of this man speaking that didn’t make me want to throw things.
Snide, condescending and deeply dishonest. Feels like a villain from a bad 80s teen comedy.

I just don’t understand how anyone can think we have any chance of having a sane country as long as this kind of despicable propaganda, lies and bigotry is broadcast daily by the biggest news site in the country.
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."

Literally the authoritarian playbook:
1. Call your opponents terrorists.
2. Deploy state power against them.
There's nothing subtle or confusing or complex about what's happening. The *outcome* is uncertain but the authoritarianism is right out in the open.

Disgusted is not a strong enough word. What happened to fiscal responsibility? What happened to “living your faith”? Republicans, you all drank the MAGA cult kool-aid and that is unforgivable.
For anyone who decided not to vote, this is also on you. 😡

Donald Trump bombed Iran tonight, not because they are about to have nuclear weapons (they are not), but because he needed a distraction from his tanking poll numbers and his deeply unpopular "Big Beautiful Bill."
He doesn't care who gets killed, Iranians or Americans, to help HIM.

If Donald starting a war without Congressional approval isn't an impeachable offense, what is?
Well, other than all the other things he does . . . like kidnapping Americans and disappearing them without due process.

🚨Jasmine Crockett & Eric Swalwell begged House Judiciary Republicans to vote NO. They offered deals, sweeteners, the whole package. And those damn soulless traitors STILL voted to let Trump exile American citizens.
This isn’t just betrayal—it’s the birth of authoritarian rule.
