Just remember...there was absolutely nothing normal about the United States Deputy Attorney General, Todd Blanche, meeting with Ghislaine Maxwell. Nothing. Not by protocol. Not by precedent. Not by any stretch of the imagination.

July 18: If we have a smart president, you're never going to let the dollar slide. If you have a dummy, that could happen.

July 25: A weak dollar makes you a hell of a lot more money. It doesn't sound good, but you make a hell of a lot more money with a weaker dollar than with a strong dollar

Congressional Republicans got a vote to take healthcare from 15 million Americans.

But they shut down Congress for five weeks to avoid voting on the Epstein files.

Everything they’re doing is to protect the wealthiest Americans.

"In 2020, the government pointed to Maxwell’s 'willingness to brazenly lie under oath about her conduct' as a reason to deny her bail. Now, with her entire life in the government’s control, it turns to her as a source of truth. Or, if not truth, a story that can help the president out of this jam."

Every Dem needs to campaign on overturning Citizens United. Getting money out of our politics and getting politicians to be beholden to every day Americans.
Senator @ossoff.bsky.social gets it.

The Citizens United decision opened the floodgates for untold billions in dark money to swamp our elections and led to the reelection of a corrupt conman who lied about wanting to fix our broken system so he could break it even more.

Has anyone confirmed what deal Maxwell got to agree to be interviewed? Hard to believe she is doing this without any legal assurances or protections.

President Trump's reckless tariff policies have devastated our American auto industry. Jeep Stellantis reported losing $2.7 Billion — while GM's CEO said tariffs cost $1.1 Billion, and next quarter will be worse. We need real trade reform, balanced trade accounts, and sensible policies, not drama.

If you’re feeling uneasy, it’s probably because we now know we live in a country built on the blackmail of a dead pedophile who is Too Big to Fail, so Congress has to go home for a couple of months to figure out how talk about it without defenestrating the president and collapsing the economy.

Again, when Trump complained that he could no longer “date” 17-year-old girls, he was 53 years old.
In 1999, Trump said on Howard Stern: “I have a deal with Ivanka. She’s 17 and doing great.

She made me promise, swear to her that I would never date a girl younger than her. So as she grows older, the field is getting very limited.”
