every tiny crumb that leaks out is a career ending bombshell and we’re all just supposed to go on with our lives while our elected representatives shrug and tell us there’s nothing to be done about the president’s involvement in a child sex trafficking operation
A direct email exchange from 2011 between Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, just released by House Oversight Committee Democrats.

UBI works, 4 day work week works, universal healthcare works.
Fighting homelessness costs more than giving homes, fighting welfare fraud costs more than just allowing it.
Meanwhile the Rich get more Richer while the Poor get Poorer.

I'm so tired of study after study that shows clear economic growth and stability for everyone (UBI, 4 day work week, universal healthcare, etc) but because the richest people in the country get rich faster without them, we all just suffer instead.
And this over the top of already obscene wealth...

Ghislaine Maxwell lied about Trump never going to Epstein's house (directly contradicted by her email correspondence with Epstein), and she was rewarded for that lie with a transfer to a cushier prison. The coverup is happening in plain sight.

Well yeah, have you seen what happens to those who don't want to sign off on this? Can you really call that consent when the alternative is losing (or never getting) a job?

15+ years old, but still VERY relevent — and if we had acted 15 years ago, the “better world” we’d be creating would be a LOT better & easier to reach. There are real consequences we’re just starting to see to not heeding this cartoon a lot sooner.

Ppl need to understand what's happening here.
The GOP response to the shutdown was: You're gonna cave, or we're going to hurt vulnerable people by shutting off SNAP. The Dems, unwilling to let that happen, caved.
Having watched that, the GOP is now saying: "Give us what we want on abortion or ..."

NEWS: Senate Republicans are threatening to block the extension of Affordable Care Act subsidies—unless Democrats agree to tougher abortion restrictions.
Republicans demand tougher abortion restrictions to extend Obamacare funds
Democrats say that’s a nonstarter, arguing there are already limits on abortion access. The dispute could torpedo a deal, leading to higher health insurance premiums for millions.

Going through my father’s things I found my grandmother’s report card, circa April 1916. She got a poor mark in “deportment,” which is what they called “Social emotional growth” then. Her parents were probably mad — at the mark, not at the concept of deportment, because they weren’t morons.

You think we're stupid? You greenlit this deal. If you couldn't stop Dems from breaking away, then you don't deserve to be the leader.
I will not support the Republican bill that’s on the Senate floor because it fails to do anything of substance to fix America’s healthcare crisis.
