1. Putting them all on trial for crimes against humanity at the Hague

2. Totally reforming entire government to root out corruption and abuse of power so this bullshit never happens again

3. At some point you’d imagine, brunch

I spend so much time pushing for the Epstein files to be released because I don’t want my son growing up in a world where the rich and powerful can prey on young women and men without consequences. What kind of message would that send him? That’s not the world I want to raise him in.

It’s become crystal clear, Speaker Johnson doesn’t want Congress to come back in session because they don’t want the Epstein files released.

Stop the shutdown - release the files!

Uncertainty over the economy and tariffs forces many retailers to be cautious on holiday hiring

A job placement firm forecasts that hiring for the last three months of the year will likely fall to its lowest level since the 2009 recession, or fewer than 500,000 positions.
