💥 Trump named in Epstein Files — MULTIPLE TIMES :: WSJ
When DOJ officials reviewed what AG Pam Bondi called a “truckload” of documents related to Jeffrey Epstein earlier this year, they discovered that Donald Trump’s name appeared multiple times, according to senior administration officials.

When I was little, the U.S. military came to our home at gunpoint and took me and my family away. We were imprisoned for years in barbed wire camps simply because we were Japanese American. I have spent my life telling that story, hoping it would never be repeated.

Last night a bunch of Republicans in the House were saying how awful this bill was.
Only took a couple hours, some merch, and a few words from Donald Trump, and they’re lining up to rip away health care from 17 MILLION people.
I’m sadly not surprised — but I am still outraged.

The Supreme Court just imposed a “Don’t Say Gay” regime on every public school in America - Vox
Actually, this goes way past “don’t say gay.” It’s more like “don’t say anything that someone might have religious objections to.”

How will this ruling interact with the Full Faith and Credit clause? Does the opinion address this?
Which means a baby born in New York to undocumented parents will be a citizen. But a baby born to undocumented parents in Kentucky will not be a citizen.
This is madness.

Finally a corporation is reacting to what’s happening here. Don’t be surprised that it’s not a car company or a shampoo brand. They’re all still pretending that life is normal.

This is absolutely insane.
Donald Trump suggests he will only provide aid to California if they pass a voter ID law.
Then he said he’ll put no conditions on North Carolina, a state that voted for him.
What a petty, evil man.
