“Clinton is in the Epstein files!”
Great. Next time I come across a Clinton rally, someone wearing a Clinton hat, or flying a Clinton flag on their truck, I’ll be sure to let them know.
The rest of us want them ALL held accountable because we aren’t in a cult. Hope that helps.

Mitt Romney said the quiet part out loud: the rich should pay more in taxes.
The Wall Street Journal attacked him for it.
But he’s right—and ignoring the math is how democracies crack.

To be clear, this should be one of the biggest scandals to ever reach the presidency.
DOJ - after illegally scrubbing Trump from the Epstein files - is retroactively removing files they missed that would be embarrassing to the President.
It’s a complete affront to Justice.

Elon Musk’s net worth has now surpassed $600 billion, just weeks after Tesla approved his 10-year, $1 trillion pay package.
That could amount to $100 billion per year — more than 1.4 million elementary school teachers’ paychecks combined.
Still wondering if inequality is out of control?

Honestly, hiding it does more harm than releasing it. It's just going to confirm stuff we already know: it's a bad idea to switch candidates 100 days before an election, and we should have focused more on indie media than legacy media.

I’ve previously called out the Small Business Administration for flying the Appeal to Heaven flag–a symbol of white Christian nationalism favored by January 6 insurrectionists. Now, a high-ranking Department of Education official has it outside his office. Unacceptable. Take it down.

The GOP’s health care “plan” does nothing for millions who will see their health insurance premiums go through the roof in January. Facing a choice between seeing the doctor and paying your rent is appalling but that’s life in Trump’s America.

Millions of Americans are about to lose their health insurance or face skyrocketing premiums. A majority of the House wants a three year ACA tax credit extension. Mike Johnson must immediately bring this to a vote and send it over to the Senate to prevent a health care crisis.

All that murder--more than 80 humans--in the Caribbean Sea was always a set-up for stealing oil. Never about stopping the drug trade. Trump could care less about sacrificing American lives for his latest criminal enterprise.

Trump says we need to go after drug cartels.
Meanwhile, he disbanded a DOJ task force that took them on.
And he pardoned a former Honduran president convicted of drug trafficking.
Trump doesn't care about drugs — he wants to be able to declare war on anyone he labels an enemy.
It's a power grab.
