If Trump has nothing to hide, he'd tell Pam Bondi to release the Epstein Files like they all promised.
Mike Johnson would have sworn in Adelita Grijalva yesterday.
Ghislaine Maxwell would be sent back to Florida prison instead of being pampered in Club Fed in Texas.
And...
He's guilty as hell.

I guess I’m glad my furnace stopped working NOW and not later in the season when it’s even colder. Also glad I have a few space heaters.

81 years ago, FDR proposed a second Bill of Rights to guarantee every American the right to employment, healthcare, education, housing, and a living income. His words are as relevant now as they were then. Watch.

Hey @kaine.senate.gov You should listen to what @aoc.bsky.social is saying here. I’m one of YOUR constituents, but SHE is doing a better job representing my interests.
The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.
The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.
People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.
And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

Today I decided to say hi to @noahscalin.bsky.social when I was on my way to work. Totally forgetting that I had a motorcycle helmet and sun visor covering my face, was layered up in my heavy moto jacket, and was yelling hello from a scooter in the middle of the street. So… totally out of context.

To give you the scale of Virginia Dems House of Delegates victories
They didn’t even contest this seat in 2023 when they won a majority
Now they flip this district in Hampton Roads
Really worst case scenario for Virginia Republicans

Looks like the Dems will pick up 12 seats in the VA House of Delegates, which will go from 51-49 to 63-37 D-R. That's an honestly shocking result.
