Trump: “Hundreds of people have photos with him, so that's no big deal.”
Dunno, but the display of Trump-labeled gag condoms suggests a degree of familiarity between Epstein and Trump, perhaps a greater degree of familiarity than Epstein had with hundreds of others.

Some people are claiming "the last month was for nothing", which I don't think is the case. These past 40 days of Democrats showcasing the lengths Republicans will go to kill people has forced millions of previously oblivious people to finally learn that Republicans are total shit. That's a win.

Ok I hate to say it but should Pritzger maybe be mobilizing the National Guard to defend Chicago's residents against unlawful search and seizure?

Your local and national corporate news has agreed to lie for Trump because they still don't understand he's not on their side. Dr. Roberts did NOT "enter the US in 2019 on a student visa." The state of Iowa doesn't just hire Superintendents without checking their backgrounds.

My name is Graham Platner and I’m running for US Senate to defeat Susan Collins and topple the oligarchy that’s destroying our country.
I’m a veteran, oysterman, and working class Mainer who’s seen this state become unlivable for working people. And that makes me deeply angry.

Once you lose your rights it's VERY hard to get them back Don't be afraid to stand on a corner by yourself with your sign like I did today. Trump and Co. are building their dictatorship brick by brick and the power is being consolidated faster and faster. We don't have time to wait for others.

I have thought on it and prayed about it, and I have decided: I am running to be the next U.S. Senator from North Carolina.

Give this guy some 🩷. This is what we need to he doing. We can't do 30 more months.
It’s time for us to take action.
I call on my colleagues from both sides of the aisle to support my Articles of Impeachment, stand up for this country, defend their oath, and protect the American people.
It’s never the wrong time to stand up for our Constitution.
