Why are Republicans in the House and Senate so afraid to bring Jack Smith before their committees to testify in public under oath before the American people? Isn’t that what MAGA wants? Don’t you want to “expose” him? What’s going on here?

Biden didn’t release the Epstein files because Merrick Garland was actively investigating Epstein/Maxwell co-conspirators all the way up until January 2025. Then Trump shuttered the probe. www.cbsnews.com/news/jeffrey...
House Democrats press DOJ for details on Epstein co-conspirators probe that was "inexplicably killed"
Survivors of Jeffrey Epstein provided the Justice Department with "precise and detailed" information about 20 alleged co-conspirators, House Democrats say.

That's never been the case. It's always been 'Trump First'
President Trump returned to office promising to avoid foreign entanglements, make life more affordable and ensure that available jobs go to American citizens. His recent actions have been a significant departure from the expectations of his loyal base. nyti.ms/4p91FCj

Trump doubling down on his desperate attempt to deflect Epstein poison to Democrats, announcing he will sic his crooked DOJ on Clinton and Summers and any other Dem mentioned in Epstein’s emails.
(I guess it’s not a hoax anymore?)
His name is mentioned hundreds of times, more than any Dem I think.

Porn Play at the Royal Court has an incredibly committed performance from Ambika Mod at its centre, but I couldn’t help but feel a drama about a woman addicted to violent porn is so rare that all the clever clever stuff about Milton really clogged it up www.timeout.com/london/theat...

Wolff is scum
Michael Wolff tried to buy New York Mag — with money from Harvey Weinstein and Jeffrey Epstein.

So Wolff didn't just have a reporter-source relationship with Epstein. Nor was Wolff his informal PR adviser. They saw each other as potential business partners.

Reminder that Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666x more than the company's median employee in 2024.

This was the widest CEO-to-Worker pay gap in the entire S&P 500.

And we're supposed to believe Starbucks can't afford to bargain a fair contract with its unionized workers?
As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.

Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX
