Epstein files reveal his obsession with Trump The president is mentioned over a thousand times in sex trafficker’s emails

NEW: President Trump mentioned over 1,000 times in Epstein files, more than anyone else. (gift) www.miamiherald.com/article31290...

These aren’t suspicious at all…

Robert Reich The Secret Behind High Gas Prices

The Trump regime just killed a rule protecting millions of acres of western Arctic lands from fossil fuel drilling.

It’s yet another giveaway to Big Oil — which spent $450 million backing Trump and Republicans and lobbying Congress last year.

This is where we are right now. It’s NOT okay.

Oh wow @reuters.com got the photo here:

53% of Americans believe billionaires are a threat to American democracy.

Meanwhile, just 100 billionaire families spent $2.6 billion on federal elections last year — a 160-fold increase since Citizens United.

The people know: billionaires should not be able to buy our elections.

Breaking news: there have been 1.1 million layoffs this year, on par with job cuts of the Great Recession.

🚨 BREAKING: Ghislaine Maxwell gets “country club” treatment behind bars — and the whistleblowers who exposed it? FIRED.

Coffee prices are up at least 30-40%. When tariffs are off, stores will probably take the opportunity--with great fanfare--to reduce them by 5-10%.

"We're slashing prices," the supermarkets will claim.

"See how I'm reducing grocery prices," Trump will boast.

And we'll still be paying more.

NEW: DHS launched a $200mln+ ad campaign, featuring, Kristi Noem, aimed at stemming illegal immigration.

The ACA subsidies expiring, Republicans refusal to renew them, and further using the money to fund tax cuts for millionaires proves we need single payer healthcare! Most taxpayers would see their costs decrease with no change in level of care. No more out of network doctors!

Billionaires could lose 99% of their money, and STILL be millionaires with never a worry in the world, nor ever have to work; whereas most Working Class Americans don't make a million dollar$ in our entire lives; YET, Trump & Billionaire class call it "Socialism/Communism/Marxism" to raise tax by 2%

Trump administration tells states to ‘undo’ full SNAP benefits New guidance from USDA on Saturday informs states to move ahead with partial food stamp payments only given the Supreme Court stay.

Convicted Felon Trump is determined to harm our most vulnerable citizens so that Millionaires and Billionaires can get their tax cuts. Despicable!

Consider what the group patriotic millionaires is proposing: $25/min wage, no tax below $45000/yr, added tax for over $1 million/yr, forget capital gain to rebalance USA economy

IF THEY CAN TAX MILLION AND BILLION DOLLAR LOTTERY WINNINGS

LETS TAX ALL MILLIONAIRES AND BILLIONAIRES THE SAME WAY.

YouTube video by Katie Phang FED UP Millionaires FLIP THE SCRIPT With SHOCKING Proposal

Millionaires band together to demand fairer taxes, which means increasing their taxes!

Tax the rich, pay the people, and spread the power.

And we knew this. This wasn't speculation. We studied it, we had the talking points. We trained volunteers to explain this to people. It's not a surprise. Rich people don't flee places with good quality of life when we increase the quality of life. They might try to cheat us, but they don't leave.

Trying to locate an exact quote promising release of Epstein files if he got elected.
This is all I found.
Not exactly an iron-clad promise…

Jeffrey Epstein advised Steve Bannon that the lawyers representing Brett Kavanaugh in his confirmation hearing should accuse Christine Blasey Ford of being on medications that cause false memories or memory loss.

Newly released emails show that Jeffrey Epstein discussed Trump’s negotiating style w/Russians prior to Helsinki 2018.

Remember?

Putin seemed pleased following his discussions with Trump. You will recall, Trump denied the findings of the U.S. intelligence community, and said he believed Putin.

James Van Der Beek selling ‘Dawson’s Creek’ merch to help pay for cancer costs The “Varsity Blues” star was diagnosed with stage 3 colorectal cancer last year.

I find it incredibly sad that James Van Der Beek is auctioning off Dawson’s Creek memorabilia to pay for cancer treatment.

This is why we need universal healthcare.

What happens to those who have nothing of value to sell?

They die, go bankrupt, or both.

Healthcare is a basic human right.

Maybe we CAN afford universal healthcare. We just have to choose THAT instead of creating and subsidizing billionaires.

EDITORIAL: Polis' proposed Medicaid changes stress the need for universal care - Sentinel Colorado It's time for the United States to adopt a truly universal healthcare system, whether we call it Medicare for All, single-payer, or universal care.

“Coakley serves as adviser to the Napa Institute” (led by Leonard Leo ally Tim Busch). “In 2018, he publicly supported an ardent critic of Pope Francis, Italian Archbishop *Carlo Maria Viganò* , who was later excommunicated for stances that were deemed divisive.” (Vigano is close w/ Bannon & Flynn)
