An interesting subtext here. We do indeed spend vast sums on our military. So the idea here appears to be that without "forever wars" we need to occupy our own cities.

Raskin: In any event, if he really cared about public safety in DC… he would not have pardoned 1600 insurrectionists and violent cop beaters on his first day in office.

Virginia Giuffre, one of Jeffrey Epstein's most prominent abuse survivors, dies by suicide Other Epstein victims credited Giuffre with giving them the courage to speak out.

A reminder that after years of speaking out against Epstein and giving other survivors the courage to come forward, Epstein victim Virginia Giuffre died by suicide in April at the age of 41.

Let's not forget that there are real human tragedies behind everything we're discussing.

Okay, so here’s a test.

Let’s ask him how tariffs work.

Speaker Jeffries is holding the floor so YOU can call your rep and convince them to vote no.

PLEASE call your representatives. Hold their feet to the fire.
