Honored to join the forum hosted by @hirono.senate.gov today, alongside senators and education leaders, to speak about what’s truly at stake. The Trump administration isn’t just dismantling the Department of Education, it’s abandoning the federal responsibility to ensure opportunity for all kids.

“Jeffrey has the sickness but they worked together as a unit,” Virginia Roberts Giuffre, who says she was abused by Epstein and Maxwell for several years starting in the late 1990s, told "Dateline." “I was brought in by Ghislaine and at that time, she was the main procurer for Jeffrey.”
Here’s a 2019 story about the “model”, explains how she was pulled into Epsteins orbit, eventually raped, taken to the private islands, etc. This seems around the same time she was passed on to Trump. just say mid-90s. www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/ncn...

yep, again: my wife's entire team was recently fired from her nonprofit hospital a month ago because the Trump administration ceased all Medicaid reimbursements at the beginning of the year
95% of the stories I read never mentioned Medicaid once
95% of the stories I read never mentioned Medicaid once
The way they resolve this unpopularity is control of the information enviornment. Conservative propaganda outlets will just not report on it, mainstream outlets will drown out their reporting of it with manufactured stories like "was Biden old" or trans-panic on A1 while Medicaid cuts run on A14
The House GOP last night approved Medicaid cuts that will kick millions off insurance & shrink after-tax income for many families in the bottom income quintile
Hard to fathom how unpopular this is. Just 14% of voters wants to cut Medicaid to pay for tax cuts

President Donald Trump has directed his attorney general to investigate fundraising platforms such as ActBlue, the central fundraising apparatus of the Democratic Party — escalating his effort to use his powers to target his political opponents and the core machinery of the opposition party.
Trump and GOP ramp up investigations on Democrats’ top fundraising platform
The directive to investigate fundraising platforms like ActBlue shows an erosion of the traditional separation between the White House and Justice Department.
