Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

If Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton, who were NOT mentioned over a million times in the Epstein files, can testify before Congress about Jeffrey Epstein, then so can Donald J. Trump, who was.

"My fellow Americans, we’re no longer going to have to pay taxes. You will, still. You’ll have to pay a lot of taxes, actually. But not me and my guys. We’re done with taxes. We beat taxes. Taxes lost very badly, and now we don’t have to deal with them—you do."

I admit that song pops into my head amazingly often

“Hypothetically if someone was accused of having sex with goats by over 30 different people… but also… his name was in the classified Goat Fucker Chronicles 5000 times and he wished other goat fuckers well in prison, what do you think the odds are that person is also a goat fucker?”

to reiterate: it is not up to trans ppl to "vote blue no matter who"

it is up to *cisgender Dems* to decide whether you want us in your coalition or not (see 🧵 below for why the latter would be bad for *all of us*)

How do you get establishment liberals to understand that throwing LGBTQ people under the bus because they feel that the party failed them is just simple hatred of LGBTQ people, identical to what Republicans do?

The second and third richest men control Google.

The fourth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

The fifth richest man owns The Washington Post.

An Epstein survivor made serious allegations against President Trump that she says happened when she was a minor — serious enough that the FBI interviewed her multiple times.

Yet, those files have now gone missing. There has never been a bigger cover up in modern American history. End it now.

Dan Quayle was cooler than Vance

Yes, ICE can trick people into opening the door by pretending to be police looking for a missing child.

But then people won't open the door when the real police come looking for a missing child.

The Disastrous First Year of RFK Jr. The damage the HHS secretary has done to science and public health is appalling—and it could have been avoided.

"It is beyond comprehension that the Senate confirmed this man to oversee America’s health."

Donald Trump canceled Direct File after giant tax prep companies spent millions lobbying.

Why? Because Direct File let you file your taxes for free.

So today, I’m introducing a bill to make Direct File the law of the land. And 160 members of Congress are joining me.

Well there was always the risk that one day she might have committed thoughtcrime

I'm old enough to remember when polio ripped through the globe and put my friends into iron lungs.

We dutifully lined up at school to get vaccinated. We eradicated the disease. We protected the common good and saved lives.

RFK Jr. is a disgrace.
