America's most notorious child rapist, Jeffrey Epstein, said this man was the worst person he'd ever met. Let that sink in.

Jeff Bezos paid $50 million for a wedding. He just got a $16 billion tax break. He just laid off 60,000 people.

And you're furious about a kid getting a free school lunch?

About half of what it was going to cost to fully fund SNAP in November during the shutdown.

As @rbreich.bsky.social notes billionaires and their families own X, Paramount, CBS, Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, the Washington Post, Amazon, MGM, Fox News, the Wall Street Journal and New York Post, and could soon own Warner Bros and CNN

And they are all Trump supporters

"Liberal media" indeed

Reminder that Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666x more than the company's median employee in 2024.

This was the widest CEO-to-Worker pay gap in the entire S&P 500.

And we're supposed to believe Starbucks can't afford to bargain a fair contract with its unionized workers?

If ACA goes away and people have to find their own policies you can count on millions of people being denied coverage because of preexisting conditions. The ACA made it illegal for insurance companies to refuse coverage or raise rates for preexisting medical issues. I know because I was one of them.

Since the Affordable Care Act was signed into law, Washington Republicans have made one thing painfully clear: they have no real alternative healthcare plan.

None. 👇 (THREAD)

@repdangoldman.bsky.social is the best. We need more members of Congress like him.
👏👏👏

CNN headline: "'Things are pretty crappy' 1 in 4 US households are living paycheck to paycheck" with additional text from the article below in small print, all overlayed a grocery store produce section.

More and more Americans are living paycheck to paycheck.

Do not forget that instead of working with Democrats to address affordability, Republicans spent 54 days on vacation.

Priorities.

In his futile attempt to justify Musk's $1 trillion pay package, this Musk fluffer overlooks:

-Musk's tax rate on his $450BN is only 2.5% so far.
-Tesla & SpaceX received $3.7BN of US subsidies & loans.
-SpaceX has $22BN in US govt contracts.
-Tesla has received $22BN in US ZEV/GHG/IRA credits.

Another tweet from Acyn (@Acyn) says: “Ansari: Welcome back from your eight weeks of taxpayer funded vacation. Foxx: I am sick and tired of hearing you say we had an eight week vacation. Ansari: That’s exactly what happened.” Below, a screenshot from C-SPAN shows Congresswoman Virginia Foxx sitting at a desk in a blue jacket during a House committee meeting. The chyron reads, “HOUSE RULES COMMITTEE MEETING ON FUNDING BILL TO REOPEN GOVERNMENT.”

I’m loving this for her.

The Epstein story gets a something that is tearing at the heart of the electorate: elite impunity. The idea that wealthy and powerful people can do terrible things *at scale* and face no consequences for them. Whatever political party actually stops it could rule the country for a generation.

The America First guy has brought in 566 foreign workers during his 5 years in office to work at his companies instead of hiring Americans. And counting.

The rich won't leave if you tax them. Norway put a 78% tax on fossil fuels and oil companies still begged them to drill. Don't fall for it.

Removing a monument honoring Black US soldiers has nothing to do with DEI. It’s erasure of history and it’s straight-up racism.

McGovern: Buried in this bill is a corrupt kickback for eight Republican senators, a million dollar payday funded by taxpayers, taken from the treasury and deposited directly into their pockets. What the hell is wrong with this place?

On Dec. 8, 2015, Jeffrey Epstein offers a NY Times reporter photos of Donald Trump and "girls in bikinis in my kitchen." Epstein tells the reporter that he "gave" Trump his "20 year old girlfriend...after two years."

When people looked into these type of rumors the Times smugly criticized them.

Trump ‘spent hours’ at Epstein’s house with victim of sex trafficking, email alleges Democrats say new correspondence ‘raises glaring questions’ about president’s ties with late paedophile

This is extremely disturbing.

The new evidence raises more questions about what Trump knew and his relationship with Epstein.

Release the files.

So proud of my friend and fellow Welsh Pembroke Corgi owner @andrewfeinberg.com for asking this question:

“What was the president doing with Virginia Giuffre for hours at Epstein's house?"

Wow so she was AG of Florida that whole time Epstein is going buck wild down there huh

Grijalva: That is why I will sign the discharge petition right now to release the Epstein files. Justice cannot wait another day.

Innocent people wouldn’t need to hold an emergency meeting to try to find a way to block the release of the Epstein Files

This isn’t even the stuff they’re trying to actually stop from getting out.

For folks (and journalists) who want to search the Oversight Committee email texts, I made a database for searching the 20k text files:

"This is never going to be ok." Rep. Grijalva calls for formal legislation to make sure new members are sworn in promptly after Mike Johnson showed that good faith and norms cannot be counted on.

Why is Ghislaine Maxwell in a minimum security camp getting special treatment? #EpsteinTrumpCoverUp

Epstein thought trump was gross.

Imagine being such a horrible human being that one of the most horrible human beings on Earth, Jeffrey Epstein, thought you were the worst person he's ever met.

That's Donald Trump: MAGA's King and Daddy.
