They claim they have nothing to hide, but the way they keep dodging deadlines and slow-walking subpoenas says otherwise…
Tomorrow’s vote is about forcing the transparency the American people should’ve had months ago.
Have no doubt: I’ll be voting YES.

Let’s be clear: The DOJ has already been subpoenaed. They’re legally obligated to release the full Epstein files—and they’re still dragging their feet.
It’s a shame we’ve even gotten to the point of needing a discharge petition.

You’re not allowed to do anything about it either, but it’s deeper than that. We have so far to go to actually get accountability and change. For now they don’t even want us to register our discontent with abuse and rape

It has always been so obvious that the backlash to MeToo isn’t about whether the abuse is happening but whether people are allowed to want it to stop

CBS is the network that paid Trump $16m. CBS is the network owned by the Ellisons. CBS is the network that failed to push back in its 60 Minutes interview of Trump.
Of course, CBS is asking questions like this to House Democrats.

McDonald’s prices are so high that low-income visits dropped double digits. Delta’s cheap seats are down 5% but luxury seats are up. Budget hotels are losing revenue while high-end hotels climb. And the corporate response? Serve the rich and screw everyone else.

McDonald's is losing its low-income customers. Economists call it a symptom of the stark wealth divide
These customers are feeling the pressures of higher prices on groceries and apparel and the growing cost of rent and child care, the company's chief executive said in a recent earnings call.
