Y’all might know for the last three years I have read to my grandkids overseas (their dad stationed in Japan). Usually just short picture books.
So guess which story the two oldest grandsons have been pleading for?

Ghislaine Maxwell: as she is doing time already, Congress shd immunize her which would force her to have to testify (she is currently objecting based on the 5th A). She can be prosecuted if she lies or refuses to testify. And it would make it that much more outlandish for Trump to later pardon her.

This is a very good question.
"How much longer can we the people sit back and watch the body of evidence grow—the emails and text messages that make clear Trump 'knew about the girls' and likely much more than that—before we become complicit by doing nothing to remove him from office?" www.americaamerica.news/p/can-americ...

Even as Trump reverses himself and calls for the release of the Epstein files, he and his enablers may have already damaged our nation beyond repair

Most Americans agree we need to get money out of politics. If that takes a constitutional amendment, then that's what we have to do. And if that's going to take years, then it's all the more reason to begin pushing now.

When Massachusetts passed a "millionaires tax" in 2023, conservatives claimed the rich would flee.
But two years later, they haven't — and MA has collected $5.7B for infrastructure and public education.
A reminder that positive change can still happen at the state level.
