The screenshot shows the website’s header with the Media Matters logo, navigation icons, and a headline that reads: β€œMegyn Kelly questions whether Jeffrey Epstein’s desire for β€˜very young teen types’ made him a pedophile.” A sub-headline quotes Kelly saying, β€œI think there is a difference.

We're in the "raping young teenage girls isn't pedophilia" part of the cope from MAGA.

I have been charged in a federal indictment sought by the Department of Justice.

This political prosecution is an attack on all of our First Amendment rights. I’m not backing down, and we’re going to win.

in Demolition Man, Sylvester Stallone plays a supercop from the violent 1990s frozen in time and sent to the future. He winds up fighting a group of terrorists until he realizes they're just trying to steal food, at which point he refuses to continue attacking them

Most Brain Rotted Presidency Ever
YouTube video by The Bitchuation Room (with Francesca Fiorentini) Most Brain Rotted Presidency Ever

The leaked chats of GOP staffers should be unsurprising to anyone who's followed the online ecosystem of MAGA. They are very Groyper, very 'irony coded' and very dangerous. My latest deep dive into The Most Brain Rotted Presidency Ever is out here: youtu.be/np0ztYFxaHk

I cannot stress this enough.

We are protesting Broadview because of the human rights violations happening within the ICE facility.

If they are willing to assault me on camera, imagine what they are doing to detainees behind boarded-up windows.

Right-wingers are calling for my arrest. You know why? Because they know I’m the only candidate in my race who will actually stand up to ICE and Trump.
