If anyone is unclear on why white nationalist christo-fascist trump loving Republicans don't want Jeffrey Epstein investigated, it's because they are also serial pedophile abusers. A harem of 14 year old wives/sex slaves is what all these sick fucks want.
A youth pastor in Missouri was arrested for sexually abusing a minor since 2023.
Donald Axtell, 37, was charged with statutory rape, statutory sodomy, furnishing pornographic material to a minor, and possession of child pornography.

When did pedophilia become a partisan issue?
The American people deserve to know the full truth about Jeffrey Epstein and every powerful person who enabled him.
Every name. Every flight log. Every cover up. All of it.

The US doesn't have a Health Care System, it has an Insurance Dictatorship. The reason no political party can come up with any alternatives to this morass is they are owned by Big Insurance and Big Pharma.
Insurance companies aren’t just players in the fight with doctors over money; they’re also the referees.
They produce their own guidelines on when to pay claims. If a doctor appeals a denial, insurers make all the initial decisions.

Likely NYT election coverage today- "Reporting from West Texas, we check in with white men age 70+ on how the Democratic Party is failing local oil barons"
Perhaps the NYT should run some articles about how the Republicans need to listen to the concerns of ordinary Democratic voters.

America is so racist that some Americans believed SNAP benefits were for white people and food stamps were for black people and they did not know they were the same thing and are now horrified to learn they are losing their food subsidies.

Kavanauagh's only 3 days into his personal Dry November and already struggling.
Brett Kavanaugh's behavior during today's second oral arguments has been incredibly obnoxious and rude. He is so eager to kill a service member's lawsuit against a negligent government contractor that he keeps interrupting other justices, raising his voice, and getting emotional. Weird and erratic.

I believe the fascist US government is cutting safety nets specifically to cause an increase in crime in order to justify the martial law infrastructure they're installing.
Millions face hunger as SNAP funding stalls. One in eight Americans could lose food aid if the shutdown continues, exposing the fragility of the nation’s safety net.
