I hope all of these UNICEF Goodwill Ambassadors speak out.
Millie Bobby Brown, Priyanka Chopra, David Beckham, Serena Williams, Katy Perry, Shakira, Selina Gomez, Liam Neeson and many more.
The Trump administration becomes more heinous and vile every day. They exist only for billionaires and MAGA.

Reps have the presidency, senate & house... blame the other guys for wanting to assure that we continue to have "affordable" healthcare. Mad also means crazy & "Mad Mike" can open the government at any time with the nuclear option. He's too afraid of midterms, dems in power & swearing in Grijalva.

It's $40 billion now. The bailout is being pushed by Scott Bessent. His friends made very bad investments in Argentina. He wants to help them out.

I have heard that it's really to prop up the economy so that wealthy American investors (including Scott Bessent, the US Treasury Secretary, who is pushing this) don't lose money they have in Argentina businesses.

We can’t pay air traffic controllers during the shutdown, making us less safe, but we can send $40 billion to bail out Argentina.

Make it make sense.

Feeling sad, helpless, and angry simultaneously is very frustrating, but it's also powerful when strategically channeled. That's why we as a collective must be relentless and tenacious about never letting this go.

Hey Mike Johnson – the more you facilitate a cover-up and do everything in your power to prevent the release of the Epstein files – the more your constituents, the American public, and the whole world are going to believe you are guilty of the exact same types of crimes as Jeffrey Epstein.

I get the Code One whistles, but the code Two whistles may cover out the victims cries for help - including info like their names. I’d rather silence so we can hear what the victims are saying.
