Epstein preyed in Florida, Trump was there, and so was Bondi as AG of Florida. Alex Acosta gave Epstein a deal no one should get. Years later, Trump rewards them both. Acosta given a cabinet post. Bondi made AG. Bondi now refuses to release any files that incriminate Trump.

I said this to my husband over a year ago before we left the US. That they’d try to stop issuing passports. Where at this point it’s to stop people from being able to vote, I believe there is a more sinister motive coming and that’s to force people back to the US and keep Americans from leaving.

The heads of Amazon, Alphabet, Meta, and Tesla all joined Trump at his inauguration.
Since then, largely thanks to Trump's Big Ugly Bill, their companies have reaped $51B in federal tax breaks — paid for by huge cuts to our social safety net.
This is what oligarchy looks like.
