Rep. Ro Khanna tells NBC he'll hold a press conference with survivors of Epstein's abuse and he'll call for Trump to meet with the survivors.

"On Tuesday what we're going to ask is for a president to meet with these survivors."

"I really think that's the right thing to do."

What comes next may actually be worse

Last month he was a soybean farmer, this month he’s an expert on intercontinental cattle drives.

I knew they blamed immigrants for everything, but I didn’t think they would blame immigrant cows for hamburger prices.

Hahaha. Good one.

Maduro is probably thinking after Switzerland got their tariffs lowered for a gold bar and Rolex he’d check on the ask to avoid a war. bsky.app/profile/atru...

It’s so bizarre that he went from giving daily advice to Andrew Cuomo for months in the mayor’s race to this.

Remember: The concentration of wealth in the hands of a few isn't just bad for our economy. It's corrosive to our democracy.

When the wealthy and well-connected control our political system, regular people don't have a voice.

The result? The demagoguery and corruption we're seeing now.

The jury thought the case was baloney

In other words, according to the Deputy Attorney General of the United States:

Judges following a statute entirely proper under the Constitution, but doing so against Trump's wishes, have "Trump Derangement Syndrome."

NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen.

Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

Robert Reich It’s Time to Roast Starbucks | Robert Reich

I stand with unionized Starbucks workers, who are on strike across the country right now for better wages and working conditions.

Until Starbucks strikes a fair bargain with its workers and ceases its union-busting behavior, I'll continue to boycott the company.

Remember: An estimated 70% of congressional Republicans may financially benefit from the tax cuts in their Big Ugly Bill.

While cutting Medicaid and food stamps for millions — including many of their own constituents — these lawmakers may be enriching themselves.

Priorities.
