Trafficked children don’t care about politics. They care if someone comes for them. Around the world, justice is delayed while evidence is buried…and the man atop the United States helps keep the truth from daylight.

It’s hard to believe that one man can cause so much stress, so much fear, so much pain and suffering…a man who took an oath to preserve and protect our Constitution. This man, who is inciting terror across our land, must be removed from office. In a sane world, it would happen immediately.

Congress should not let up on contempt for Bondi.
They must bring her b4 committee, under oath.
Except this time when she starts with her CRAP, they must be prepared to have the Sgt. At Arms, put her in cuffs.
Period.

The first and last lines of Joni Ernst’s legacy as a human on earth will be that she was instrumental in the confirmation of the Sec of Defense most hostile to women serving in military, and she knew that when she voted for him.

Families are already hanging by a thread, but the sad truth is it’s about to get a lot worse when SNAP benefits don’t go out in November.
It’s time to find our local food banks and help out with donations and volunteer hours if you are able.

In the midst of a government shutdown, and in the face of fundamental challenges to the rule of law and to democratic accountability, the House of Representatives--the people's house, the heart of our democratic republic--hasn't cast a vote since Sep. 19. An extraordinary failure of responsibility.

I’ve posted about the Epstein files every day for many months, I write about the Epstein files every day, and we talk about the Epstein files every week on the pod.
And I won’t stop until the full, unredacted (except for victim/witness info) files have been released.

The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.
It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.
