"Jane Doe" said under oath that Epstein brought her at 14 years old to Mar-a-Lago to meet Trump. /

What won't these people do to appease a criminal rapist?
The most blatantly and obviously corrupt admin in US history by far. Will ANY Republican have the integrity to speak up about this, the pardons, the crypto scam, ANYTHING?

It is very unusual for lawyers to march. Alexis de Tocqueville described attorneys as an aristocracy and "the most powerful existing security against the excesses of democracy." Things must be bad when they—when we—take to the streets to oppose dictatorship.
Worked in legal organizing for the last few years, and I never would have thought a movement of lawyers was possible until I had the displeasure of doing this job under Trump 2.0. Attacks on the rule of law are so blatant that even usually nonpartisan lawyers are done newrepublic.com/article/2026...
The Legal Professionals Planning to March Against Trump
Recent history has shown that attorneys and jurists can play a big role in bringing their nations back from the brink of autocracy. That day is coming for us as well.

🧵Did you hear?

Tucked into the CR is a measure that would allow 8 Republican senators to sue the US govt for $500k each over Jack Smith investigating them for Jan 6 & searching their phone records.

A measure that would pay them half a million dollars each for breaking the law.

It's probably not something anybody would have standing to challenge, but a straightforward case could be made this violates the 27th Amendment. By limiting it to only senators, the value of this cause of action is thus a perk, a kind of 'compensation,' granted simply because they're senators.
This allows Trump (via DOJ) to use taxpayer money to bribe eight GOP Senators. It's that simple, there's no other way to describe it.

And where's the compensation for people injured by the Trump admin's unlawful conduct through DHS & DOGE?

Take a bow, @schumer.senate.gov, you did this.

🚨 NEW: ADP report: U.S. LOST an average of 11,000 jobs per week in October 2025.

Let’s compare, shall we:

In 2024, the economy ADDED about 2.2 million jobs in 2024 — an average monthly GAIN of 186,000.

From steady climb to sudden slide.

Shocking. 😐
So he’s saying all the tariff money we took in is gone and we won’t be able to pay it back. There was always a possibility he could lose this lawsuit and have to refund the tariff money. We didn’t prepare for that possibility? He’s running the govt like he ran his casinos.

instead of saying this was good strategy, maybe senate dems should say: "the republicans were going to kill people by starving them to death, and because we aren't monsters, we decided to let this fight go. We'll keep fighting. Stop electing monsters."

Well this is rich. So far we've collected about $100 billion in tariff revenue from US businesses, but Trump is claiming if SCOTUS doesn't side with him we'll go bankrupt from having to pay back $2 trillion to the other countries that supposedly paid these tariffs.

Who uses SNAP?

My friend, who works, raising 5 kids, husband bailed and won’t pay child support

My neighbor battling cancer and her life-saving meds are so expensive, she chooses between meds or food

My friend who’s a vet and struggles with mental health issues.

Not one of them chose this.
Trump claims that food stamps "puts the country in jeopardy. People that are able-bodied can do a job, they leave their job because they figure they can pick this up, it's easier."
