This analysis makes sense. The Republicans went for broke on the shutdown because they know they're all going down if and when the Epstein Trump files come out. It's worse than any consequences of the shutdown. I wonder who has backup copies...or other kompromat for leverage. Clinton? Gates?

Not wanting to admit, or not understanding you were raped doesn't mean you weren't. He manipulated & groomed her. The power dynamics and pressure were there. She said "eventually he made me have sex with him". She feared the consequences if she didn't. That's not consensual sex. Plus...she was 14!

I trust more in my fellow patriotic, prodemocracy citizens to help out our neighbors in need during this shut down than I trust the word of the GOP to negotiate ACA in good faith later. When someone shows you who they are, believe them! We have them cornered. DO NOT CAPITULATE NOW! FIGHT!

We have to trust that the 65% of this country who want these democracy traitors OUT will also help out our neighbors and make due not traveling for Thanksgiving if need be. Bring GOP to their knees! Capitulating/coming to the rescue by kicking can down the road on ACA will hurt us in the end. FIGHT!

This is Adelita Grijalva. She was elected 43 days ago.

Republicans still refuse to swear her in because she is the final vote needed to release the Epstein Files.

People aren't as dumb as Republicans think. He's on an ego-tour of Asia, boycotting talks to end the shutdown, and cutting people off SNAP benefits even though there's $5B left in the contingency fund.

Innate talent and intellect are equally distributed across human subpopulations. When white males dominate leadership merit alone didn’t get them there. Bias, conscious and subconscious, favor white men starting in school and throughout their careers. Most are blind to their unfair advantages.

I went to Catholic school, and we even knew the Bible isn’t a history book.

Oklahoma just turned indoctrination into state policy: mandating classroom Bibles while pretending amendments 11 - 27 don’t exist.

Public schools should teach real history, not change it in order to fit a political agenda.

Straight, white men are responsible for 84% of Americas gun violence. There have been 4 trans shooters.

It’s not about keeping our kids safe. It’s about harming the trans community.

New details about police activity after lawmaker shootings raise questions about response The Minnesota Star Tribune found that Brooklyn Park police waited more than 60 minutes to enter the Hortman home and that several law enforcement agencies were unaware of the situation for hours.

They waited *more than an hour* to enter the Hortman home after watching Mark Hortman get shot in the doorway

Unbelievably tragic & heartbreaking

And, of course, they publicly congratulated themselves on a great, lifesaving police response when they’d let a lawmaker bleed out. Uvalde is everywhere

McMorrow: What Trump has done is weaponize us against each other, when everybody needs hospitals, good schools, and health care.

It has become this battle for scarcity, when we’re the wealthiest country in the world. We should not be fighting each other for our basic needs.

Why Are Federal Agents Wearing Masks? It’s a Threat to American Democracy Masked Federal Agents Are Undermining Trustβ€”and Democracy

Federal and local law enforcement wearing masks is just plain unamerican. It’s a cowards move, and shows the fact that the kinds of deportations happening and the methods are, shameful and unpopular.

They’re assaulting the mothers and fathers of US soldiers.

Roving gangs of masked men grab human beings off the street.

They send them without due process to prisons in countries they’re not even from where they are then sold into slavery.

Make it stop!!!

Much more generic messaging like "liberty and justice for all", protecting rule of law/constitution, environment/parks, research, health care & MOSTLY kitchen table economics-inflation-best serves us.Focus messaging on what vast majority can agree on. Self interest always wins at the ballot box.
