Leak the Epstein files. If they refuse to swear in the respected 218th Vote Arizona Adelita Grijalva, then release the files and just leak them. Make a mistake...

He's not opening the government because he doesn't want those secret files revealed. It's not complicated.

Collins: Marjorie Taylor Greene—is she someone that you could see yourself working with?

AOC: On what? If she actually wants to support legislation and expanding healthcare… I'm more than open to doing that. But it's not just about talking the talk. We got to walk the walk.

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.

Everyone now agrees we are heading for a global financial crash. It's only a matter of when, and not if. And the sad thing is, if only we'd reformed our tax reliefs on pensions and ISAs we might have avoided this disaster that's now in the making. www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2025/10...

We could have avoided a crash

Well, we really need to consistently refer to it as Reform Ltd as it’s basically a private company & part of their actual name. Also a Persuasion U.K. survey shows linking their corporate interests is one of the most effective attack lines. Also it’ll rattle them. #StopFascism
