These women deserve a medal for coming forward amidst a sea of hate and death threats. POTUS and the other perps want to silence them. The fighter jet flyover was a nice touch, Mad King Donald. Every moment of silence by lawmakers delays (and denies) justice. #BelieveTheWomen
the survivors who elevated the one issue that has rocked Trump and his MAGA cultists, condemned Trump for the cover-up, and denounced justice system that enables the rich and powerful predators to remain anonymous show unimaginable bravery and self-sacrifice. open.substack.com/pub/contrari...

She says neither she nor other survivors have heard a word from the DOJ.

15 years ago, after Wall Street’s reckless bets crashed our economy, we enacted the Dodd-Frank Act—a step to rein in big banks and prevent working families from once again paying the price.
Dodd-Frank was clear—consumers first, not Wall Street. But the Trump Admin disagrees.

Couldn’t get a direct answer.
I asked if he’d recommend the COVID vaccine.
Couldn’t get a direct answer.
Let’s set the record straight: Long COVID is real and vaccines work. Claiming otherwise is dangerous.

That’s right. The billionaire bailout bill forces your tax dollars to pay for concentration camps and masked thugs to disappear your neighbors without due process. 16M people will be thrown off healthcare to pay for that, along with tax breaks for the rich.
Take a minute to look at these increases to the ICE budget in the GOP mega bill. Take another minute to let it sink in. They're preparing a police state that will far exceed rounding up Spanish-speaking brown people.

Tax all the homophobic, racist, and patriarchal churches.
Every year, the IRS loses over a 100 billion dollars because it doesn't tax businesses called "churches." Look into that waste, Elon!

One of the great blunders of 2017-2021 was US Courts’ collective failure to enforce the Foreign Emoluments Clause and the Domestic Emoluments Clause of the Constitution. 🤨⚖️👎🏻
This is still part of the Constitution, FYI: "[N]o Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust... shall, without the Consent of the Congress, accept of any present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince, or foreign State."
