“They're suggesting the president has given illegal orders, which he has not. Every single order given is lawful.”
All the many courts that have ruled that Trump has ordered something unlawful:

She doesn’t even try to hide that she’s a spokesperson for Putin serving in the US Congress. Post after post, day after day, echoing Russian propaganda. Truly sad that people in Pinellas County have chosen this as their representation.

These Epstein emails make at least one thing abundantly clear:
The rumors that Trump “kicked Epstein out of Mar a Lago and cut ties with him” were bullshit.

Reminder that Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666x more than the company's median employee in 2024.
This was the widest CEO-to-Worker pay gap in the entire S&P 500.
And we're supposed to believe Starbucks can't afford to bargain a fair contract with its unionized workers?

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.
Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

...in the memories of how we behaved as teens vs how we would allow our own teens to behave. It shouldn't have been normal to treat 14yr old girls as sex symbols, and not just in the movies and books and runways and beauty pageants, but in malls and schools and public places. 2/2

Unfocused thoughts:
The whole Epstein thing reveals a lot about the sexualizing of children and about the way it was normalized in that generation to treat a child beginning puberty as able to make adult decisions and engage in adult activities. We still live with it ..1/2

It’s been 45 days since Adelita Grijalva was elected by the people of Arizona.
Mike Johnson is still refusing to swear her in because she’s the final vote for the discharge petition to release the Epstein files.

Has there ever been a weaker Speaker of the House than Mike Johnson, who just picks up the phone each day, says ‘yes sir’ a bunch of times, then hangs up and does what he’s told? Which is do nothing and lie constantly.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 95th day out of the last 107.
12 days of work in 107 days.
With full pay and benefits.
The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.
It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.
