Since the Dow is under 50,000, can we talk about the Epstein files again?

Huge slap in the face to democracy. Democratic Colorado governor, @colorado.gov, just publicly signaled clemency to Tina peters, convicted of election interference. If election crimes have no consequences, why would the next denier stop?

AOC: We already have multiple American service members who are dead for an illegal action that the president has pursued with no plan out. They don’t know why they got into this war. They’re talking about a hundred different reasons, and they don’t know how they’re getting out.

People who believe in an imminent Rapture/Armageddon don't have anything invested in what happens to you here on Earth. You are irrelevant to them and will be treated accordingly.

American soldiers are being killed because the president doesn’t want you to know that he raped little children for decades. And if I’m wrong, sue me, asshole.

And there it is …

wow -- Tillis goes ballistic on Noem, telling her "what we've seen is a disaster under your leadership"

Minnesota is mourning the loss of Sergeant First Class Nicole M. Amor of White Bear Lake who was killed in Kuwait on Sunday.

She answered the call to serve and gave her life in service to our state and nation. Minnesotans are wrapping our arms around her loved ones.

"The things that will DESTROY US are:

POLITICS WITHOUT PRINCIPLES;

PLEASURE WITHOUT CONSCIENCE;

WEALTH WITHOUT WORK;

knowledge without character;

BUSINESS WITHOUT MORALITY;

SCIENCE WITHOUT HUMANITY;

and worship without sacrifice."

Seems like the media should at least express some curiosity about this.

I knew there was a correction coming…

I can’t stand all this winning.

Just a random reminder that over 50 members of Congress collectively own millions of dollars in defense contractor stocks.

They stand to personally profit from wars that enrich these contractors.

Make no mistake, this is legalized corruption.

Watch how they vote this week.

Such a genius…👇

Warner: "There was no imminent threat to the United States by the Iranians. There was a threat to Israel. If we equate a threat to Israel as the equivalent of an imminent threat to the US, then we are in uncharted territory."

That one person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress, or our allies, or fully explaining to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers.

Reminder that Congress has the power to stop this.

Gavin Newsom: “Review the tape — Trump spent more time talking about the curtains & his ballroom than of the 4 service members that died bc of his operation & his declaration of war without congressional consent — He still has not articulated clear vision of what the end game is. Period. Full stop”

Gallego: "Young American men and women are dying because of these idiots"

The Photographer Who Helped Launch Melania Trump’s Modeling Career Is a Recurring Character in the Epstein Files Melania Trump and Antoine Verglas were fixtures of the 1990s fashion circuit—a rarefied ecosystem that Jeffrey Epstein would continue to penetrate long after his conviction.

Verglas reveals just one degree of separation between Epstein and Melania and offers a window into the elite modeling ecosystem #Epstein repeatedly exploited, where introductions became access points, visas became leverage, and young women moved through a world he had already learned how to control.

New records show Florida officials burned more than $1.2 million per day on ‘Alligator Alcatraz’

Florida initially sought $1.4 billion from the feds for Alligator Alcatraz.

Imagine how much of a better place this world would be if these three fucking war criminals didn’t occupy it.

there is no end to the defence of our politicians as either ignorant or blackmailed when the most likely reason is always that they're behaving in their own venal self interests #auspol
