Imagine in the late 1800s you get married and move to another city and then in 1903 the telephone gets connected and you get to talk to your mom on the phone for the first time.

JD Vance claims the Steele Dossier was used to “cook” the “Russia collusion hoax.”
Fact: Trump’s own CIA Director confirmed it was not used for “analytic” conclusions. The intelligence community’s assessment of Russia’s 2016 election interference wasn’t based on it.

1. According to President Trump, large American cities are crime-infested hellholes.
Last month, Trump claimed that cities run by Democrats have “heavy crime” and called Los Angeles a “trash heap...under the control of transnational gangs and criminal networks.”

This is the guy who negotiated a corrupt quid pro quo with Eric Adams and forced the resignation of the lawyers who protested. He is a criminal and has demonstrably shown he has no concern for the rule of law, and will break any rule to advance Trump. Installing him to the judiciary is a crisis.
All but two Republicans -- Lisa Murkowski + Susan Collins -- just voted to move forward with Bove's nomination to a lifetime federal judgeship.
Bove is credibly accused of telling DOJ attorneys to defy court orders and say “fuck you” to judges who rule against DOJ. www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

Germany gave people €1,200/month no strings attached.
They kept working, slept better, switched to better jobs, and even gave more to others.
Turns out, when people aren’t drowning, they swim further.

Trump told his base to stop talking about Epstein. FOX and many MAGA influencers obliged, not bring up anything about Epstein. If you can’t trust an organization to report ALL important news you can’t trust anything they report on.

We have a right to know who the privileged men who raped little girls on Epstein’s island were. They raped them over and over. This is not acceptable. The Country will never heal unless they are brought to justice, one way or another.

The American people need to raise holy hell and not stop until the full Epstein files are released and EVERY person implicated in them is brought to justice, despite their party or position.
We're either a nation of human decency or we're not.
This should be a nonpartisan demand.
