45 years ago today we got our first closeup of the Solar System’s very own “Death Star!” Captured by Voyager 1 on November 12, 1980 as it passed Saturn, this image (PIA01968) shows the moon Mimas with its 139 km wide, 5 km deep Herschel crater making it resemble the Empire’s infamous space station.

So on Epstein, the Democratic position should be "Trump should resign." If you are a Democratic elected, practice saying "We demand the president's resignation" in front of a mirror as many times as it takes until the dry-heaving that comes from having a phobia about actually doing politics passes.

81 years ago, FDR proposed a second Bill of Rights to guarantee every American the right to employment, healthcare, education, housing, and a living income. His words are as relevant now as they were then. Watch.

New — Israeli forces just killed this Palestinian boy.
Last month, he and his family were harvesting olives. Soldiers bombarded them with tear gas, making him collapse.
He was in critical condition until today.
He is the 47th kid killed by Israeli soldiers and settlers in the West Bank this year.

Trump knows that this is always a pathway for support from a certain segment of Americans - mostly men. The desire to “invest” and be an “entrepreneur.” Even without expertise, capital, or the resilience to endure failure.

Trump: "I want the money to go into an account for people where they buy their own health insurance. It's so good. The insurance will be better. It'll cost less. Everybody is gonna be happy. They're gonna feel like entrepreneurs. They're actually able to go out & negotiate their own insurance"
