Worth repeating this with every new Epstein document drop. The party of Denny Hastert is the party of Jim Jordan is the party of Matt Gaetz is the party of Donald Trump. Looking the other way and protecting child predators from the law is their brand.

No surprise here. Black unemployment is high now during Trump’s second term. Didn’t voters understand that this would happen before they voted in 2024? Unemployment, in general, is rising. Job creation is down. Manufacturing is down. Prices are up. 👇
Trump touted record-low unemployment among Black Americans in his first term, a milestone that has evaporated during his second.
