Newsom: I cannot wait for all the punditry. Historic victories all across the United States of America. Proposition 50 winning by double digits. A new governor of New Jersey, a new governor in Virginia.

I’ll end as I began: thank you for giving a damn.

JPMorgan flagged $1B in ‘suspicious’ Epstein-linked deals to Trump administration Over 4,700 transactions, including wire transfers to Russian banks raised red flags in 2019, new documents reveal

When JPMorgan alerted the Trump administration to the existence of $1 billion in funds Epstein held which were clearly connected to child trafficking, Trump responded by suppressing the information. Why?

Sorry I added a wrong post.

Here's the one from Leavitt. And also, a photo of the toilet - that is still the same one.

“Ukraine just TOOK OUT the "Ring" fuel pipeline in Moscow region. All 3 lines DOWN—gasoline, diesel, jet fuel for Putin's army GONE. Anti-drone nets appeared to be useless. 400km pipeline fed by 3 major refineries. Yearly: 3M tons jet fuel, 2.8M diesel, 1.6M gas.”

Judge orders Trump administration to release billions in SNAP contingency funds The government did rely on contingency funding to keep food aid going when it shut down during President Donald Trump’s first term.

Once more the Ds were right on the law; Trump and Johnson lied. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

The largest war ship in the world has been moved to the Caribbean, along with other ships, bombers, amphibious vehicles and more.

That’s a lot of firepower to stop small vessels carrying drugs.

It looks a lot more like preparation for war.

Congress needs to get involved before it’s too late.

Survivors — and family of survivors — of Epstein and Maxwell's abuse are urging Mike Johnson to swear-in Adelita Grijalva:

"Every day you stall is another day survivors are denied justice, and the American people are denied the truth. Swear in Representative Grijalva and let democracy speak."

Pritzker: "I sent a letter to Kristi Noem and to DHS leadership asking them to pause all of their federal agent operations for the entirety of the Halloween weekend. I'm asking for basic human decency. I think their response will be revealing. Give the children and families of Illinois a break."

Riddle me this: why pay taxes to a Wanna-Be-King with no congressional/legislative or judicial oversight? Why pay taxes to a man who refuses to disperse monies we all paid to a democratically elected government that did have checks and balances but now no longer exists? How did this work?

"If we had a contingency fund."

You mean like this contingency fund the Trump Administration just deleted off their website? The one they are legally required to use to keep SNAP funded?
