If child sexual abuse and an Epstein link can turn a prince into a former prince, it can turn a president into a former president.
Release the Epstein files.

McGovern: Seriously, we were worried. We actually started handing out missing person posters. Nobody has seen you for eight weeks. But, hey, I'm glad that you are ok. I'm glad you survived your nice, two-month paid vacation

If you want to:
Reduce crime, fix poverty first
Reduce traffic, fix public transport first
Improve employment, fix welfare and increase taxes
Increase productivity, make education free

Why do right wing govts do the opposite of what works? And they lie about it. So do β€œtheir” economists.

I see no path to unity in the USA.

It's time for secession.

Blue states should begin with soft secession, deny the illegitimate federal government with funds and prepare to defend themselves when real secession comes.

Hey @jaketapper.bsky.social, I'm no expert on cognitive illnesses, but it feels a bit detached from reality for a sitting POTUS to forget that he was in power during an attack on the U.S. Capitol, doesn't it? Do you know anyone in journalism with experience covering dementia-like symptoms?

I miss Joe. I miss Obama. They were quiet, didn't make flashy headlines, didn't terrorize us with masked lawless militias, they just worked for us in silence. They used to care about ALL Americans.
Still daydreaming about what our country could have been like today if Kamala were our president. πŸ˜₯

We’ll see. The US has never prosecuted the officials that harmed citizens. Examples: the Civil War, 2008 crash, Enron, Bush’s war, etc.

Pope urges news agencies to stand as bulwark against lies, manipulation and post-truths Pope Leo XIV has encouraged international news agencies to stand firm as a bulwark against the β€œancient art of lying” and manipulation.

β€œWith your patient and rigorous work, you can act as a barrier against those who, through the ancient art of lying, seek to create divisions in order to rule by dividing,” he said. β€œYou can be a bulwark of civility against the quicksand of approximation and post-truth...”

I don’t know who needs to hear this but the CDC is being eviscerated right now. America is not going to have any kind of outbreak response capacity after tonight. Americans’ health data is no longer secure. Say goodbye to federal public health in any capacity. It’s a disaster. We won’t recover.

In order for the United States to become a party to the International Criminal Court and have our officials be subject to trial at The Hague, the US Senate would need to ratify the Rome statute by a two-thirds vote. Let’s start running on that.

STEPHANOPOULOS: The Democratic proposal is designed to prevent millions of Americans from losing their health insurance, losing Medicaid coverage, or paying higher healthcare premiums. Why are you against that?

MIKE JOHNSON: That's an absurd statement

STEPHANOPOULOS: It's a factual statement
