I just don’t see how we can pretend even for a moment that anything involving our federal government is remotely normal when the president is covering up his involvement in a child sex trafficking ring. Like, what are we doing here

I just learned from @luriedanielfavors.bsky.social on @urbanviewradio.bsky.social that the House Oversight Epstein files are docs that were subpoenaed from the Epstein estate and the Biden admin didn’t release the criminal files because Ghislaine Maxwell’s case was still open due to appeal

Found the tweet that Joyce Carol Oates bodied Elon Musk with and it's so beautiful in its eloquent, simple take down. So much so he's crashing out trying to prove he reads books now. Put this in the Louvre.

This of course makes sense given that President Trump recently enacted the largest SNAP cuts in history.

They were already living in one of Chicago’s worst apartment buildings. Then came the ICE raid.
