Let’s face it: the Epstein files are not the issue.
We already know that Trump is a truly evil person with abominable proclivities.
The issue is what is 🇺🇸America going to do about him.
So far, it seems, not much.

The stench of Donald Trump will cover America for decades.
Because it’s not just about him.
It’s about the people that elected him. And could elect the next traitorous “tell me everything I want to hear” lying Nazi.
America never dealt with its racism.

Far too many fundamentally misunderstand what voting is, a meaningless ritual that purports to legitimize majority mob rule, or worse yet gerrymandered minority mob rule.

Any fool realizes that this is a weak and false analogy. To wit, when faced with a direct, immediate life-or-death emergency, I am *ALWAYS* the first person to step in harm’s way to protect an innocent victim. 1/x

As a lifelong libertarian who has never voted for a Republican, nor a Democrat, and who stopped voting altogether after a decade of voting for various Libertarian candidates, I have never had anything but contempt for the current president, as a political candidate, much less an office holder.
I wonder sometimes how the people who didn’t vote in the last presidential election feel about the current President.

Hey! Remember when Barr (Bondi) withheld the Mueller (Epstein) documents for weeks so he (she) could mischaracterize what was in the Mueller (Epstein) Report and spin the findings for three weeks and then over-redact them? I sure do!

If your house of worship is silent about the cruelty and the attacks on your neighbors by ICE, you’re at the wrong church, mosque, synagogue, temple, or gurdwara.

Sen. Jack Reed: "I must remind everyone that we follow the law of war, and because of that, we expect other countries. So that when our service members are in distress, they're not shot up in the water or if they're wounded, left to die. If we don't do it, then we can't expect other countries."

Extraordinary courage from Ahmed al Ahmed, a Muslim, 43-year-old father of two, who bravely risked his life to save his neighbors celebrating Hanukkah.
Praying for his full & speedy recovery.
And so deeply inspired by his example.

By doing what, exactly? Tragic and newsworthy, but - from an actuarial perspective - a statistical anomaly.
Last night at Brown, students were studying for their last exams, excited to return home to reunite with their family and friends, their lives were forever altered by gun violence. We must do better for each other and not allow our futures to be dictated by the gun industry.

I didn‘t bother going past the pay wall. Just another ignorant and uninformed hit piece by a well respected publication that should know better. Strategy‘s underlying value proposition is revolutionizing fixed income investing, and it remains sound.
Strategy Inc is best known as the world’s largest corporate owner of bitcoin. Now, with the price of the cryptocurrency plummeting, it is also an example of hubris
Bitcoin has plunged. Strategy Inc is an early victim

71 million views. Another brilliant PR move by the outstanding WH comms team. They owned the libs again by attacking and demeaning Sabrina just because she asked them not to steal her music for one of their sick deportation videos. Thanks for the new voters.

It's great that reporting on the double tap has spotlighted the abject criminality of this Administration.
But don't forget: Venezuela is not waging war on America or Americans, and the men killed were not combatants.
The first strike was every bit as illegal as the second.

ICE raids are cruel, inhumane, and do nothing to serve public safety.
My responsibility is to be the mayor to each and every person that calls this city their home. That includes millions of immigrants— of which I am one.
