It’s painfully clear. By refusing to swear in Adelita Grijalva, Speaker Johnson’s covering up Jeffrey Epstein’s global sex-trafficking ring.

Hey GOP: Bring back the House, cancel your health care cuts, reopen the government and release the files.

The not completely full of facts narrative, and dangerous language continues to ramp up. How far will they get down this road? Good luck America.

Loved the irony of “once you take the mask off, they’re nothing”.

CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1965: 20-1

CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1990: 75-1

CEO-to-worker pay ratio today: 280-to-1

Trickle-down economics was always a sham.

Nothing has ever trickled down.

This build never fails to give me goosebumps (plus imagine my face contorted into a “Oooooh, that’s booming maaaarvellous” expression!). “Ameshra: Sing to the Sun” by the superb Mina Samy for his “The Tale of Daye’s Family” soundtrack.

So it's dangerous for China to have the ability to access our data and manipulate us via social media apps.

But it's okay for America's billionaires (and Trump allies) to have the ability to access our data and manipulate us via social media apps.

Do I have this right?

The new ICE song by Jesse Welles nails it.

ICE isn’t recruiting heroes, it’s recruiting the bitter, the rejected, the ones desperate for a badge to cover their failures.

Losers with power become the most dangerous kind.
