On Dec. 8, 2015, Jeffrey Epstein offers a NY Times reporter photos of Donald Trump and "girls in bikinis in my kitchen." Epstein tells the reporter that he "gave" Trump his "20 year old girlfriend...after two years."
When people looked into these type of rumors the Times smugly criticized them.

Do not...I repeat do not....give any money to Dem politicians. Not until they fix leadership and get someone with the cahones to meet this moment.

Dems backed Trump into a corner where he’s advocating for starving Americans and hemorrhaging support. If they vote to let him off the hook in exchange for nothing it’s a cataclysmic failure. I know people are in pain but insulating Republicans from political consequences is not the answer.

This is how a democracy dies...with the tacit acquiescance of 20% of Dem Senators.
This system of government was on life support, but if a "deal" is made, the situation becomes so dire I worry there is no pulling out of the tailspin.
Not hyperbole. What these politicians do matters big time.

Yes. Also, our own Dem politicians need to lay out tangible steps on how we move forward (strategically &/politically).
It's not enough to protest for one day and then go about your week like last week. It's a CRITICAL step, but without political follow-through, will have limited impact.

There's no need for anger

There's nothing to prove
Everything's still the same

The jack & queen
Have forsaked the courtyard
52 gypsies
Now file past the guards

And the trumpets play slow

"The era of letting Republicans break all the rules, not follow any of the laws, run roughshod over the Democrats, while the Democrats continue to just try to protect every possible existing norm and institution, that era is over." Time for Chuck Schumer to get the memo. Tim Miller:

Thread - Dems need full throated expose and condemnation of right wing violence - which by all objective measures exceeds left wing violence by magnitudes. Stop playing defense and go on offense to drive the narrative!

The Los Angeles Dodgers said they denied federal immigration officials access to the area around the team’s stadium on Thursday morning.
The news comes hours after The Athletic reported the team’s plans to announce assistance to immigrants impacted by recent militarized raids.
