greatest country in the galaxy they say

He legit doesn't understand why anyone would be upset about racism, so he assumes they're just pretending to be offended to make Trump look bad. And he's very frustrated that we're not all talking about the fictional voter fraud instead. Don't we understand that THAT was the point of the video?

We are all passengers in Trump’s death cab The nihilism of the regime is its most terrifying attribute.

"While he rushes to place his name on monuments before he leaves office, he’s given every indication he’s fine leaving behind a trail of utter and complete destruction. In short, Donald J. Trump is a nihilist."

Here we go. This was long expected.

What Trump here doesn't matter - what's going to matter is whether Roberts & the 5 other Republican ops. on this #MAGA SCOTUS will give him and his big oil/polluter billionaire donors the license to destroy our communities (planet) making us sicker & die faster

Inside Jeffrey Epstein’s network What 1.4m emails reveal about America’s most notorious sex offender

The Epstein files contain 1.4m emails. Working with independent researchers, we have used AI tools to build a picture of the sex offender’s network. It is the first such analysis of its kind

This photo won’t go away quickly.

For decades Russia tried to destroy the US dollar to break American power. They failed.

Now Trump and his oligarchs are finishing the job from the inside.

They attack the Fed and push crypto to bypass the system.

Traitors

I'm still SHOCKED by the obscene rise in billionaire election spending since Citizens United in the NYT piece, despite already knowing that election corruption w/ $ was profound. (Recall that BCRA fought dangerous campaign $ in *2002*)

The article data didn't have a graph, so I made one to show it.

Translation: “I’m saying ICE isn’t doing exactly what it’s been doing.”

Watching tech oligarchs trade democracy for deregulation clarifies history.

In the 1930s they would have supported Hitler without blinking.

It's not about ideology. It's just a business decision to them

I second the bringing.

We should fear unleashing a reign of espionage, corruption, & perfidy by casting sunlight on our reign of espionage, corruption, & perfidy?

America’s national interests lie in its evolution toward a humane ecosystem, not in its wistful super power rep from high school.

You left out the part where Bannon and Epstein worked with Johnson, Garage, Rees-Moog, Tom Barrack, and Ehud Barack to sabotage Teresa May and trick UK voters into Putins wet dream Brexit.
THERE ARE EMAILS WITH THEIR PLAY BY PLAY INVOLVMENT!

seriously insane

Pam Bondi brought a document to the Judiciary Committee today that had my search history of the Epstein files on it.

The DOJ is spying on members of Congress. It’s a disgrace and I won’t stand for it.

The DOJ was spying on lawmakers searches on the redacted Epstein files. This is in violation of the separation of powers and as @raskin.house.gov says, it’s Orwellian. The DOJ everyday violates laws and Pam Bondi must be impeached, disbarred, and sent to prison.

RIP Bud Cort. How else would you even pay tribute to him.
