President Trump must comply with the law and its deadline to release all the Epstein files.

The victims of Jeffrey Epstein deserve justice, and the country deserves transparency and accountability.

How very sad for her. This “pastor” should spend many years in prison being stalked by inmates.

Forgive Student Loans?
MAGA: PAY WHAT YOU OWE!

Forgive Medical Debt?
MAGA: THAT’S SOCIALISM!

Forgive debt convicted fraudsters who stole millions?
MAGA: THAT’S MY PRESIDENT!

MAGAs exploit the poor & bootlick the wealthy, all while carrying a cross—exactly what Jesus specifically warned to NOT do.
At least 20 people who have received clemency from President Trump so far this year were also forgiven of financial penalties totaling tens of millions of dollars.

Some of these offenders owed money to real-life victims of fraud.
Trump’s pardons wipe out payments to defrauded victims
In addition to clearing prison sentences, the president’s clemency actions have erased millions in restitution payments.

Beyond parody.

We have an attorney general who is covering up the Epstein Files and a President who is proud he could identify a giraffe

Donald Trump's administration is treating the people of this country as an adversary.

It's pushing the boundaries of its authority, terrorizing our communities, and disregarding all accountability.

We will not meet intimidation with fear — we will meet it with truth.

Donald Trump's masked agents believe that their actions are immune from investigation or accountability — they're not.

I've signed an Executive Order today establishing the Illinois Accountability Commission to create a public record and capture the impact on our communities.

Donald Trump's effort to deploy troops in American cities is not normal.

There is no rational justification for such a deployment.

It is a breach of the most fundamental values and customs that our armed forces operate on.

Today, we're learning why DOJ didn't release the redacted files last March. Because the multitude of redactions exposes how much they're covering up.

Suspicious - yes.
It's so weird that the "surprise" "vote" happened yesterday but they had the external lettering, tarps, and crew all ready to go.
Breaking News: Workers began adding President Trump’s name to the Kennedy Center, despite no action by Congress to legally rename it. This sparked outrage among the Kennedy family, since it was built to be a living memorial to the 35th president.
