There’s a HUGE Elon Musk shaped hole in the Government’s new plans to improve our elections: shady billionaires like Musk can still donate massive amounts of money with no cap: effectively buying our democracy. Add your name to call for a cap on donations today: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/ta...

🧵 One night she received an unexpected call from Epstein, who requested she come by his offices in Manhattan

Trump was there & started to hover over her

She recalled feeling scared as Trump stared at her bare legs

Then Epstein entered the room & said to Trump:

‘No, no. She’s not here for you”
Jeffrey Epstein accuser urged FBI to investigate Trump decades ago – report
Maria Farmer accused Epstein and Maxwell of sexual crimes in 1996, and identified Trump as worthy of attention

Answers sough:

I cannot understand why normal Repubs in Senate & House continue to support him.

They must know how toxic he is, how clearly stupid & / or unwell he is, & how that reflects on them.

Are they that secure in their gerrymanded positions?

They can't all be as deluded as MTG etc.

I'm sure this has been said before - I think a large part of the far right / Trump et al's attraction is the way they get away with anything from bigotry, SA, blatant corruption, rank stupidity, to laziness, etc etc etc.

Their supporters see it, & think "yeah, that's how I'd behave too".

🚀 Following Thursday's election we've reached a new record high 859 councillors on 181 councils!

💚 The Green Party is the only party offering a real alternative to the tired old parties.

Join the Green Party today to help us keep delivering real hope and real change ⤵️

Lefties, Greens & esp. Unionists - are there any unions who support the Green Party?

I'm in local government, want to join a union, but Labour currently do not deserve our money, so I'd rather it went to an actually socialist party, ie, the Greens.

It should be the #1 major headline right now.
