I know this is a rhetorical question and also think I know the answer.
Why the fuck is this framed as “teenager chose to prostitute herself and ruined the career of innocent congressman”
A teenager in Florida with a homeless parent wanted money for braces and ended up having sex for money with powerful men, setting off a chain of events that would have a dramatic impact on her life and help upend the political career of Representative Matt Gaetz. nyti.ms/49PSkL9

@RepLaMonica McIver’s prosecution is a brazen act of political retaliation and misuse of federal power and resources. It’s also another reminder that the Trump admin will weaponize law enforcement against those who pursue transparency, accountability, and justice.

Last night’s dinner was closed to the press. And later, when the White House held a signing ceremony to officially end the longest federal-government shutdown, the reporters present were quickly whisked out of the Oval Office. Today, too, he didn’t talk to the press after signing an executive order.
NEW: Jeffrey Epstein is dead

But the scandal continues to shadow Trump and its reemergence dealt another blow to a president already at the weakest moment of his second term

Epstein Returns at the Worst Time for Trump
The president is desperate to make the questions go away, but there is no sign they will.

It was a condition of opening the government, caving to the Republicans, that they would not fire employees and bring them back. Didn't last 24 hours.
Q: Is there anything in the deal to stop the mass firings?

EMMER: No. The president is not gonna bring back the people they fired. They were unnecessary.

Q: So some of the Russ Vought stuff will stick?

EMMER: All of the stuff they've done is sticking.

The silence of congressional Republicans to all the Trump corruption - from his disgusting pardons, to the UAE crypto money, to the Qatari jet, and the ballroom, should be used against all of them in midterms along with their silence on tariffs which has made things unaffordable.

With Trump rolling out 50-year mortgages, his constant claim that the economy is great because Wall Street is doing well, his massive tax cuts for the rich, pardons of Chinese spies and wealthy con men, lies that prices are down, and the Epstein coverup, will MAGA ever wake up?

What will accountability look like for billionaires (or trillionaires) who try to overthrow our democracy?

I have some ideas.

Let’s imagine futures that aren’t fascist tech dystopias.

Let’s hack the “hyperstition.”

Billionaires are gaining all the wealth, Musk might become the first trillionaire, and Trump continues grifting, but the majority is fighting back & waking up to the broligarchy's techno-fascist plot.
