Elite Doctors Served Jeffrey Epstein While Treating His โ€˜Girlsโ€™

Just wanted to make sure this wasn't lost.

The connection between Epstein, the Dubins, and Mount Sinai Hospital.

Vile stuff.

Our baby has been alive for two deadly, illegal campaigns by the U.S. to remove a foreign leader. Sheโ€™s 7 weeks old.

Iran has closed the Straits of Hormuz. 20 to 30% of all oil flows through the Straits of Hormuz. Oil traders here in Houston are predicting oil that was trading at $73 a barrel will soar to over $100 by Monday morning. Energy stocks will soar. So will the cost at the pump. All Trumpโ€™s fault #PB #USD

I can remember a time when people went into politics hoping to make a difference for the population. Nowadays politics has become a lucrative career. Most of them these days are self serving wankers. There. Iโ€™ve said it

White House Exposes Tulsiโ€™s Role in War She Claimed to Hate Tulsi Gabbard once made shirts opposing war in Iran, suggesting it was a waste of money and lives.

Tulsi Gabbard, the Director of National Intelligence, was in the White House Situation Room as the U.S. and Israel bombed Iranโ€”despite her previous, vehement opposition to such an operation.

Gabbard was present alongside Vice President JD Vance, (cont.)

every single psycho thing Donald Trump does he does only because almost every single federally elected Republican has chosen unilaterally, independently, and with complete freedom to go along with it unconditionally

Donald Trump started an illegal war...because Donald Trump is a criminal. He's always been a criminal. He will always be a criminal.

Trump ripped up the Iran nuclear deal and created this mess. Now, he's putting servicemembers in harm's way with no clear plan and no Congressional approval. The American people deserve answers โ€” and Congress needs to do its job.

"Trump was reportedly warned by his top military advisers that Iran could respond to strikes with terror attacks with proxies on US soil."

He "grew frustrated during the planning process to strike Tehran when his generals could not assure him that the risk of US casualties would remain low. "

Excerpt from The Guardian story, featuring midterm candidates looking to change the Democratic party. Copy on excerpt reads: 

THE GUARDIAN: US NEWS
HEADLINE: "'Are you willing to fight back?: Democrats ready to take on party's old guard ahead of midterms"

Photo of Kat showcased holding a stack of yard signs. Copy below reads: 

"Another test case is Illinois' deep blue 9th District, where Kat Abughazaleh, 26, a progressive Palestinian American, is taking on a Democratic establishment she accuses of complacency and cowardice."

Excerpt from The Guardian story, featuring midterm candidates looking to change the Democratic party. Copy on excerpt reads: 

"Abughazaleh believes that Democrats have long failed to meet the moment of taking on the far right. For her and many progressive challengers across the country, countering the Trump administration is inextricably linked to combating the influence of groups such as Aipac and challenging the corporate status quo.

Abughazaleh said: "I even see it in my own campaign where there are local leaders and elected officials that call me before endorsing one of my opponents, apologetically saying, I love what you're doing but I'm feeling a lot of pressure to endorse this way or the other. They feel that pressure in the first place instead of being able to stick to their values and it's a shame that we have a party that makes people feel like that."

"I don't know how many times we have to keep doing the same thing over and over and over again of insisting that we have to be more moderate, that we have to move to the right," Abughazaleh added, arguing that policies ensuring affordable housing, groceries and healthcare should represent the political centre."

You donโ€™t beat the far right with moderation. You have to confront it.

Career politicians are unequipped to handle this moment. Itโ€™s time for them to step aside.

Billions of $ will be spent to attack Iran while in the USA, Americans can't afford healthcare, millions have lost food stamps and countless people are barely being able to make ends meet. Why not invest in the people of America first?!!

This makes me feel somewhat better. Midterm elections cannot be postponed by the president alone, even during wartime. Under the U.S. Constitution, only Congress has the authority to change federal election dates through new legislation.

The US needs a regime changeโ€”and neither we, nor the world, can wait until 2029! Time for bravery!

Democrats in Congress need to take steps NOW to remove Trump from power using every (legal) means available. Defund Trump's government, vote for impeachment, file lawsuits to invoke 25th Amendment etc. We can not wait until November! My article deanobeidallah.substack.com/p/the-us-nee...

Racists, sexists and assholes who didnโ€™t want a woman of color who often expresses joy/laughter to be President even though she was exceptionally qualified are one of the main reasons we are seeing the world explode into chaos.
