It’s not too late for states and Congress to stop Trump from subverting the midterms
With only nine months before the midterm elections, Trump is plotting to prevent Democrats from taking control of Congress.

Epstein wasn't a sex trafficker, he was a child rape trafficker. A grown man cannot have sex with a child. They can only rape them.

Franzi Schimmer captured this Grizzly bear in Brooks Falls, Alaska just floating along, tippy-tapping down the river, browsing the salmon.
Prior to hibernation, up to 40% of a bear's body mass is fat, which is less dense than water (~0.9 g/cm^2), so the murder-monster is also a floaty-boaty.

A child dying of cancer spent her final days fighting to free her wrongfully detained father from ICE custody.
This comes just weeks after a mother from Maryland was denied the right to be at her son’s side as he died from cancer.

This is wild.
41 DUI arrests by a Tennessee trooper. All dismissed. 22 drivers were completely sober.
He “resigned”. No explanation. No accountability. No apology. His personnel file doesn’t even mention the cases.
Police departments shouldn’t be in the business of shielding corrupt officers.

Swear to god, so many of these uber rich guys who keep trying to intellectualize and sanitize white supremacy really are the dumbest motherfuckers alive. They constantly say word salad-y nonsense like this that would cause them to fail a fourth grade US history test.
This odious white supremacist needs to learn some history.
Not so long ago, it was common to see "Irish need not apply" in job listings in the United States. You know, the same type of pernicious prejudice that Elon exhibits regularly.

When you have NO ideas, NO support, YOU try to steal elections. There is NO evidence real election fraud. No one wants the Feds involved in our elections. Florida has a voter ID requirement that works just fine. Voting should be as easy as possible for all citizens. #wheresashley on this?

Right. 33,000 missing children just in Minnesota that no one else noticed? How about their parents? Republican lies are getting more extreme every day as the GOP tries to distract from its child rapists.
Tom Homan is given free rein to just say stuff on Fox & Friends: "President Trump has already found 145,000 children. In Minnesota alone, only 33,000 missing children we found that the last administration wasn't even looking for."
