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.
The Honduran-born Charlotte resident filed a police report after the officers let him go.
Racial profiling, no warrant, no due process; but what else can one expect from a regime committing extrajudicial murder on the high seas?
Trump's gotta go.
A huge amount of state resources intended to fight crime - from the FBI to state and local police to DEA agents to IRS tax enforcement - have been redeployed to immigration enforcement. It is a great time to be a criminal in America.
16.11.2025 13:43 β π 558 π 187 π¬ 24 π 4They're running from it now. But the fact that Senate Republicans tried to give 10 of their colleagues at least $1 million each for nothing but a bogus press op captures the corruption of Trump II. In no other environment wld this even occur to the most corrupt politicians.
15.11.2025 13:26 β π 3805 π 866 π¬ 65 π 26Whatever Trump is desperately covering up about Epstein, itβs clearly so bad that he thinks it could destroy him
15.11.2025 01:02 β π 14015 π 2697 π¬ 705 π 180I just donβt see how we can pretend even for a moment that anything involving our federal government is remotely normal when the president is covering up his involvement in a child sex trafficking ring. Like, what are we doing here
15.11.2025 01:14 β π 46997 π 11860 π¬ 1193 π 481"300 agents stormed the building, rappelled from a helicopter, knocked down doors and hurled flash-bang grenades. Agents ziptied and detained many US citizens for hours..."
Prosecutors have not filed a *single* criminal charge against anyone arrested that night:

For any other president this would be heralded as the disastrous policy failure of a floundering and indecisive chief executive
15.11.2025 01:48 β π 946 π 205 π¬ 19 π 4Basically saying "if you do crime for me, I won't only pardon you--I'll give you millions of dollars of public money." Truly unprecedented level of corruption

Retire or get voted out - those are your options.
10.11.2025 03:54 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Listening to these 8 Dem Senators explain their vote convinces me that they are either idiots or liars. Either is plausible.
10.11.2025 02:40 β π 3332 π 593 π¬ 218 π 92Not that he didnβt already know, but now Trump knows for sure he can roll the Dems every time and thereβs no need to negotiate for anything
10.11.2025 03:01 β π 7650 π 1833 π¬ 123 π 82The answer Sen, Shaheen is that since America elected the Black man to be president, the official position of the Republican Party is βnot to work together with Democrats to address the problems that are facing this country.β
10.11.2025 02:57 β π 2479 π 571 π¬ 65 π 19The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.
The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.
People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. Itβs about peopleβs lives.
And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.
Trump is 30 points underwater. Dems swept the special elections. People know the GOP is responsible for the shutdown. So the Dem Senators pulled out their big guns... and shot themselves in the foot.
10.11.2025 01:53 β π 6207 π 1422 π¬ 156 π 66The politics of the shutdown:
*GOP had a strong opening position
*Undercut themselves with the RIFs and unnecessary cuts to blue states/SNAP
*Polls showed GOP getting most of the blame, no reason to assume that would change
*Dem centrists then folded on their key issue of ACA subsidies
An agreement to agree to do a later vote is NOT an enforceable contract so what in the actual hell are Americans getting out of this deal??
10.11.2025 01:10 β π 21814 π 4431 π¬ 1781 π 381It should be that simple.
10.11.2025 01:34 β π 14542 π 2837 π¬ 280 π 62If the Dems blink after all of this, for a deal that all but ensures no ACA subsidies in 2026 anyway, then what was the purpose of letting the shutdown go for 40 days in the first place?
10.11.2025 00:53 β π 4772 π 842 π¬ 115 π 155The Dems who are caving are doing so not because their base wants them to, not because the voters want them to, and not because SNAP recipients want them to. They are caving because their DONORS want them to. And thatβs really all that ever matters to the establishment.
09.11.2025 22:11 β π 2092 π 654 π¬ 106 π 61New: Sens. King, Shaheen, Hassan led negotiations on a deal that will have enough Democratic support to pass in the Senate, I'm told. This is the package: - CR thru Jan 30 - A vote on a ACA bill by a December, on a DEM bill - Minibus WHICH INCLUDES reversal of shutdown RIFs and back pay and protections against them happening in the future PLUS SNAP is funded through the fiscal year 26
Dems have spent the past two months saying they're fighting to address the crisis of spiking healthcare costs and now they're caving for a deal that does nothing to address healthcare costs Β―\_(γ)_/Β―
10.11.2025 00:52 β π 12605 π 3645 π¬ 957 π 351The senate dems are about to embarrass themselves and us AGAIN! I hope these reports are not true.
09.11.2025 20:50 β π 1762 π 245 π¬ 77 π 8At some point we have to let pain hurt Trump instead of helping him. Every time we let pain help him, heβll do more and bigger next time.
Each acquiescence means the next one will be *more* painful.
Donald Trumpβs approval rating has tanked and Republican suffered heavy losses in last weekβs elections. Thereβs never been a better time for Senate Democrats to cave on the ACA extension.
09.11.2025 23:47 β π 2904 π 567 π¬ 40 π 38Dems backed Trump into a corner where heβs advocating for starving Americans and hemorrhaging support. If they vote to let him off the hook in exchange for nothing itβs a cataclysmic failure. I know people are in pain but insulating Republicans from political consequences is not the answer.
09.11.2025 22:58 β π 26742 π 7499 π¬ 837 π 527So the oldest person ever to become president keeps falling asleep in his office during public events and thereβs no big public discussion on how this is a coverup or how republicans are lying to us about how this government is running?
09.11.2025 13:41 β π 16211 π 3779 π¬ 478 π 220The SCOTUS has four justices nominated by presidents who lost the popular vote, and those justices were approved by a GOP senate majority that represented a minority of the population. The whole game has become increasingly counter-majoritarian.
08.11.2025 22:33 β π 198 π 15 π¬ 2 π 0ICE is still being paid.
Congress is still being paid.
Private jets are still being bought.
The White House is still being renovated.
In the most prosperous country in the history of the world...

If we want to stop the kidnappings and these agents require anonymity to commit these actions, then we must remove the masks.
So long as we allow masked law enforcement to terrorize people, we cannot be a democracy.
