Every senator who voted to confirm RFK Jr owns this tragedy. Every single one.

All the men's names mentioned in the Epstein files, and there's a woman sitting in front of a congressional committee answering questions about her relationship to him. Go figure.

I just initiated the discussion to step down as our condo board president, a role I’ve suffered through for 5 years, and I could NOT be more pleased with my decision and initiative! #IYKYK

I’ve got a bottle of Johnny Walker Blue in the back of the cabinet saved for special occasions. I’ll be opening that bad boy up and pouring myself a BIG glass!

Thanks for sharing this. I’ve had a hard time feeling proud since I saw all the celebrating with Kash Patel in the locker room. I needed this.

He doesn't want to be president. He just wants to stay out of jail. The sooner people in power realize this point, the sooner we can move on together.

What is inside Pam Bondi that she saw the horrific images of old perverts abusing children and felt she had to protect the perverts? We are not the same.

Imagine seeing photos and videos of ugly old men raping underage girls and thinking, "I need to protect those horrible men at all costs."?

Pam Bondi is a soulless villain.

Just experienced the most intense tear gassing of my life by federal officers outside the ICE facility in Portland where marchers gathered. There was no fast exit as they indiscriminately threw loads of gas and flash bangs. Children were in the crowd screaming. @oregoncapitalchronicle.com

Today I saw ICE gas little white kids in the streets of Portland with chemical weapons. Imagine what they're doing to brown and black kids in the detention camps

Catherine O’Hara's passing was the punch in the gut that I wasn't ready for today. A legend. An icon. This hurts.

Thank God there were people filming. This administration would have said Alex Pretti pulled a handgun, a package of fentanyl, and a signed copy of the Communist Manifesto if they could.

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.
