This is MUCH WORSE than Watergate. The Trump Epstein scandal involves raping children. And we know Trump was fully aware of what Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell were doing. Trump should RESIGN!

One of the biggest takeaways from the Epstein file release today was that Jeffrey Epstein in 2018 and early 2019 was telling people he had dirt on Trump which could destroy Trump. That is very likely why the Trump DOJ charged Jeffrey Epstein in July 2019 and then "suicided" him.

Next Novembe, remember there are more women who have credibly accused Donald Trump of rape than people charged with voter fraud.

Time to tell your dentist to put down the drill? A new protein gel from Nottingham researchers mimics natural growth, using your saliva to regrow tooth enamel. This breakthrough could mean the end of fillings, truly reversing decay rather than just patching it up.
Goodbye, Cavities? Scientists Just Found a Way to Regrow Tooth Enamel
Scientists have developed a new gel that mimics the body’s natural processes to help teeth repair themselves. By guiding the growth of enamel-like minerals, this innovation could one day make dental decay and sensitivity easier to treat. Credit: Stock

Trump isn’t going to do anything to address ridiculous prices, but he will let you mortgage a house for 50 years!
His banker buddies will LOVE that. A $400,000 house will cost you a million dollars over 50 years.
What’s next, 10 year auto loans? 🤢

Trump and his cronies are now pushing 50-year mortgages.
Buckle up. This is going to make the 2008 mortgage crisis look like the good old days.

I'm not a big fan of paying Obamacare subsidies to the Big 5 health insurers either.
Much better to just pay it into a Medicare For All fund. No more cash lost to profits, or advertising, or exec bonuses, or stock buybacks or golf vacays to Hawaii.

Republicans and DOGE dismantled essential services and gutted programs not for fiscal responsibility, but to build an apparatus to terrorize people of color domestically. This reveals the GOP not as a political party, but as a violent cult obsessed with wielding power against minority groups.

Health care needs to be nationalized. We could try a universal healthcare system based on a compulsory private insurance model.
In this model, the government regulates the private insurance market to ensure all citizens have coverage and that costs are managed.

This is the facility that I and many others have been protesting. We’ve been hit, thrown, gassed, and shot with pepper bullets but none of that holds a candle to what is being done to people *in* the actual facility.
Read this thread. Don’t look away. Keep your eyes and the pressure on Broadview.

A family friend was telling us about what her husband shared about his experience in Broadview before he was deported back to Mexico. She's been sharing to friends and family because she's just in disbelief & horror what her husband told her. She wasn't able to talk to him until he was in Mexico.
