The White House Intervened on Behalf of Accused Sex Trafficker Andrew Tate During a Federal Investigation
Federal authorities were chided for seizing electronic devices from Tate and his brother, and told to return them, records and interviews show. Experts said the intervention was highly inappropriate.

Trump: "How about the places that think they're gonna save a fortune so they spend a lot of money where the water turns off. You press the thing, which you hate to do. So you get the towel & you press it. You wash it & the water stops. You get like 4 drops of water. Do we really get rich with that?"

The Republican president is a pedophile who has doubled my healthcare costs and let scores of violent criminals out of jail. But a Democratic mayor-elect wants to make busses free in a city I don't live in. I have never felt more politically homeless.

Obvious but worth saying. We really think the White House/DOJ which disappears documents and people pretty regularly is gonna go, "Welp, House voted so I guess we have to turn over the stag films of Trump with a 15 yr old. The rules are the rules." I'm not saying the exercise is pointless at all.

The cave caucus COULD say "we'll get people fed and paid through the holidays, give the American people the gift of the Epstein files, and take up the fight in the new year" but they're saying "we had a generational electoral victory and nothing we were doing was working so we quit"

“Vote blue no matter who and also shut the fuck up when those people betray you.”
Nope.
We will primary every senator who doesn’t call for Schumer to step down in the next 24 hours.
