"This could take down Democrats, too."
I know. And I frankly wouldn't give even an itty bitty damn if it implicated every Democratic man in Congress, every Democratic hopeful for 2028 and every Democrat who has even thought about running for office.
Down with the sex predators, wherever they are.

But it would still be ok to draw voting maps based on party, right?
Right now, The Supreme Court is hearing a case that would prohibit lawmakers from using race as a factor when drawing voting maps.
Simply put, fair representation for all Americans is at risk.
Tianna Mays & Pooja Chaudhuri analyze this troubling threat to the Voting Rights Act.

If Barr was qualified to inform MAGA what was really meant by the Mueller report, isn’t Bondi equally qualified to summarize the Epstein files?

Musk’s DOGE burned $21 billion in six months. Fourteen billion paid to workers not working. Six billion more in severance. IRS cuts may cost up to $2.4 trillion. USAID slashed, food and meds spoiled. One million dead already. Trump calls it savings. The math calls it a crime.

Elon Musk's DOGE wasted more than $21 billion in just six months. Other studies have found that in the longterm it may cost the government more than it saved, while resulting in millions of deaths.

A new report found that in just six months, Elon Musk's cost-cutting agency wasted more than $21 billion. Other estimates have found that the cuts will cost more than they save in the long run.

What was the quid pro quo? Did he buy her silence or pay for her to lie?
It’s fucked up that everyone on the right accused everyone on the left of being pedophiles for over a decade — only to end up defending their cult leader when he transferred the world’s most notorious convicted pedophile into a luxury prison.

Whoa. Could this mean Trump was wrong about all his other “hoaxes” too?
Trump has increasingly taken to proclaiming the Jeffrey Epstein sex trafficking case controversy a "hoax" planted by Democrats — but Attorney General Pam Bondi and her associates just told a court that wasn't the case at all.

Democrats should respond by gerrymandering their states. If Supreme Court is fine with Republicans doing it in Texas, then do the same and pick up more seats. Take on fascists.

Kim Jong-un should challenge DJT to a televised match.
There was a time when red-blooded red-state rich white golfers would be permanently done with any man who did what Trump does in this clip (and with a handsomely accomplice, no doubt)
Serial golf cheaters are one of the lowest forms of life Earth supports
Trump is literally just orange Kim Jong-un

1/ If Justice Barrett thinks we need to go back to what the Founding Fathers intended, I’ve got news for her. Their biggest concern was avoiding tyranny. So they created 3 branches of gov’t & divvied up the power the people (that’s us) were allowing the gov’t to use to create order for all of us.
