AOC: Trump should be having congressional leaders in the WH. Do you see that every day? No, you don't because they're playing golf and they're going to mar-a-lago and the Republicans in the house have been on vacation for weeks now

If the Access Hollywood clip feels like a crime scene, read this op‑ed—statistically it’s a 0.0057% coincidence, plus Carroll’s verdict and Epstein links. Trump’s guilt is the only conclusion.

If you think Trump's misdeeds were random, this op‑ed flips the script: 0.0057% chance that 25 of 28 allegations cluster in his Epstein years. Shocked? Read on.

Hakeem Jeffries posted pictures of two Rep. Members posing with “Young Republicans” who were part of a racist text thread (as reported by Politico).

In response, Mike Davis (well-connected in Trump World & on the Hill) called Jeffries a “house slave” for George Soros - proving Jeffries’ point.

Data from 2023. The good ‘ol days. 🤦‍♂️
Measles and pertussis are already on the rise.
Sadly we won’t see these numbers ever again, except for maybe SP, unless it escapes some lab freezer or closet (remember that one?).

A bar graph showing the numbers of cases of various diseases in the US in 2023.
Vaccines have decreased cases of Measles, Pertussis, Mumps, Rubella, smallpox, Diptheria, and polio by over 97%.

"Polanski slammed” reports the Daily Express. The person doing that “slamming” is, err, Daily Express journalist Carole Malone.

And the reason? Because I want us to follow a science led public health approach to regulate drug use.
