This is a rad song called “LET’S STEAL THE (EPSTEIN) FILES.” I’m pretty sure it’s meant for the ears of FBI agents, in search of one that might want to be a superhero.🦸

Now the $20B has gone up to $40B. The Dems are fighting for the US people while the GOP is concerned with the people of Argentina. That brought us to a shutdown. Now either we screw the US with them or they stay closed. It's all or nothing for them. There is no negotiation. Just say no!

Man watching leak after leak, scandal after scandal happen making the GOP take L after L after L is SO SATISFYING karmically. It's like the universe saying, "Oh, so you think you're being witch hunted, lawfared, and unfairly prosecuted, huh? How about I REALLY give you something to cry about?"

As Republicans attempt to whitewash history, it's the librarians who are defending the truth.

Director Kim Snyder’s new documentary “The Librarians” is incredible. We talk about the film & why targeting the truth-tellers is just the tip of the authoritarian iceberg.

“The 3.5% rule is a concept in political science that states that when 3.5% of the population of a country protest nonviolently against a government, that government is likely to fall from power.”

If you can get to a No Kings rally this Saturday, please do.

He needs to be removed.

Article 2, section 4 in the US Constitution. He’s committing treasonous acts. He’s actually killing Americans. This isn’t a metaphor. It is literal. By the way, This is NOT a loop. He is certifiably insane. Article 25 would remove him, but not the other complicit traitors.

Finally, some common sense from Oklahoma education.

Ryan Walters turned classrooms into culture war battlegrounds. Reversing his Bible mandate isn’t “anti-religion,” it’s accepting the fact that the Bible is not a history book!

Schools should teach, not preach.
