So I'm finally reading Project 2025 from the beginning, and I have to say, for a 950-page political manifesto it's a real page turner ... just for all the wrong reasons.

I hope everyone realizes the constant demonizing of Democratic socialists and socialism generally is coming from corporate overlords. They do not want you to have affordable health care, protection against usurious interest rates, high quality education, thriving wages, Social Security...

Reminder that Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666x more than the company's median employee in 2024.
This was the widest CEO-to-Worker pay gap in the entire S&P 500.
And we're supposed to believe Starbucks can't afford to bargain a fair contract with its unionized workers?

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.
Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

Today is a good day to remember, and to say, that the #MeToo movement was right, and was righteous, and has been vindicated over and over again. There was no overreach. There was no excess. There was no they-went-too-far.

Reading through these emails, I’m reminded of the saying: “You can’t con an honest man.” Epstein may not have understood grammar, but he sure understood that.

There’s a chunk of our society that wants to erase childhood. Whether it’s pushing them into labor markets as teens, closing doors to higher education, booting them from healthcare, letting them get shot in schools, dragged away by ICE agents - and now, pretending it’s kinda ok to have sex with them

This is rape culture.
This is why so many people don’t come forward.
A young girl was being bullied at school by a boy who made AI generated nudes of her.
She told the principal. She told the guidance counsellor. They didn’t stop it.
Finally she hit the boy responsible, and SHE got expelled:

A Louisiana girl hit a boy who was sharing deepfake nude photos of her. She was expelled.
“This girl was abused,” one of the family’s attorneys said, noting that she endured sexual exploitation and harassment. And the expulsion “was like pouring salt in the wound.”

As a reporter, I have covered over 750 investigations. (2010-2025 on inside Edition/CBS News) Many of my stories involved sexual assault. I have never seen “innocent people” do anything remotely close to this.
In your experience, would innocent people go to these lengths to keep something secret? I pretty much know the answer but I would like to ask a professional

The only reason we know anything about the Epstein files is because the survivors refused to give up.
This release is about the the bravery & tenacity of the survivors who continue to fight for justice in a system seeking to crush, silence, and erase them.

We pray for the girls abused by Epstein, Maxwell - and their predator friends. We pray each predator, no matter how powerful, will experience justice. We pray this justice may bring some peace to the victims.
The greatness of any nation lies in its willingness to face the truth.

Three victims of sexual trafficking by Epstein and Maxwell have died from suicide or drug overdoses:
Virginia Giuffre (2025)
Carolyn Andriano (2023)
Leigh Skye Patrick (2017)
Those are just the ones we know of and who came forward. One cannot help but wonder how many more did not survive.

But when we get the actual vote to release them, I'm presuming we'll see a whole lot more, right?

For there to be justice – in this case, the faint hope of impeaching and removing a president credibly implicated in child-sex trafficking – *elites must betray elites*. Powerful men (and they are men, let’s be real here) must find in themselves an incentive to be traitors to their class.
