Trump's name appears in them more than anyone else, in 1,628 documents.

When did pedophilia become a partisan issue?

The American people deserve to know the full truth about Jeffrey Epstein and every powerful person who enabled him.

Every name. Every flight log. Every cover up. All of it.

Things are expensive because of your tariffs dipshit.

Learned that word from you. Not tariffs. Dipshit.
We inherited” is the new “but her emails.” They take responsibility for nothing. Who deported workers in the food production industry? Who imposed massive tariffs on finished goods, agricultural products. and raw materials? Who promised to lower prices “on day one”?

Looks like we’re going to war with Venezuela to distract from the Epstein files.

Hey JD . . .

Why don’t you and the family enjoy some of that great housing in rural West Virginia.

Or Mississippi.

Or Kentucky.

Or Arkansas.

I could go on.

Hey CNN . . .

Where are the disclaimers when Trump or members of his administration lie about economic data or public figures they disfavor?

I quit watching CNN long ago.

Looks like it’s time for others to join me.
holy shit -- the disclaimer CNN hosts read whenever they bring up Epstein is getting longer

It would seem there should be sanctions for lawyers engaging in actions to defy or delay court proceedings. This shit just goes on and on.

My takeaway from every new Epstein revelation is that some powerful people victimized many powerless young women, many more knew, some actively enabled it--and we're still being told that MeToo and accountability for sexual violence have gone too far

By 2028, there may well be a legitimate non-MAGA lane to the GOP presidential nomination.

War could soon be coming to the Republican Party. Today’s pushing and shoving among Democrats will pale in comparison.

Agreed.

But it was just 8 elected Democrats who stepped away.

The other 250+ Democrats remain with us in the fight.

C’mon!

No one ever said everyday would be a good one.

We have work to do.

Time to fight on.

This town hall was held in a county where Trump received over 76% of the vote in 2024.

Prices are still rising, health insurance premiums will be soaring and job losses are mounting.

All due to policies supported by MMM.

Republicans don’t care about you.

Feenstra is a “no show” horse.

His “work” includes the BBB, which strips healthcare away from working Iowans.

The Trump economic policy he supports is increasing prices and decreasing job opportunities.

Many of us are pissed at the 8 Dems who gave in.

So don’t vote for them. Don’t contribute to them.

Most elected Dems did NOT give in and continue the fight.

Vote for them. Contribute to them.

And keep fighting.

It’s up to us.

No one said it would always be easy.

Keep fighting!
