The American people deserve answers, and it’s time for the DOJ and FBI to provide them.
While we appreciate that the Epstein estate has been transparent, it’s time for the Administration to do their part.

Epstein offered the NY Times photos of Trump with young girls in bikinis during his first campaign in 2015.
The NY Times declined them because they were just too busy hyperventilating over Hillary’s private email server.

Congratulations to all the Democratic candidates who won tonight. It’s a reminder that when we come together around strong, forward-looking leaders who care about the issues that matter, we can win. We’ve still got plenty of work to do, but the future looks a little bit brighter.

SNAP benefits will be gone, small businesses will suffer, insurance premiums will double, air traffic will be delayed/halted: All of these things are happening because when the gov't shutdown ends, the Epstein Files get released.

The Walton family (who own Walmart) are worth over $400 billion, yet many of their employees are on SNAP.
Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP.
The people who need help are not the problem.
It’s corporate greed. It’s an unwillingness to pay a living wage.

Voters should pick their representatives, not the other way around. Glad to get the chance to talk to some of the volunteers and organizers doing the hard work to make sure Prop 50 passes. This vote will have critical implications, not just for California, but for our entire country.

REPORTER: Do you support repealing Obamacare and what's your healthcare plan?
MIKE JOHNSON: We worked on repealing and replacing Obamacare back in 2017. I still have PTSD from the experience. We know that American healthcare needs dramatic reform. We have lots of ideas.
(So, no plan)

In Bemidji and across the country, Americans will see their premiums double or even triple if Congressional Republicans refuse to work with us to extend the health care tax credits.
Hardworking families don’t have an extra $14,400 lying around. We need to stop this health care crisis.

Imagine making six figures to not do anything you were entrusted to do.
…getting paid to not work while thousands of civil servants around you were getting fired.
…betraying those who counted on you to represent them, all to appease a wannabe dictator.
The GOP Congress is a helluva thing.

Dunno man, seems a little misleading to write an article about Trump describing activity in Portland and Chicago as “insurrection” with a 33 year old photo of a burning donut shop taken in the 1992 LA Riots (sans caption explaining that) as the header on all your posts about it.

Let me be clear: backpay for these workers is required under a federal law I wrote with former Senator Cardin — which Trump signed — during the last Trump shutdown.
This is just more fear mongering from a president who wants a blank check for lawlessness. It won't work.

Last year they claimed “illegals” were voting, without any evidence.
They used fear mongering to push for voter suppression laws.
Now they claim “illegals” are getting free healthcare, again without any evidence.
So they can make healthcare unaffordable for millions of Americans.
Enough.
