You've got 3 known pedophiles all in a letter that one of the pedophiles own DOJ released.
Let them deny it and then act like that's suspicious too.

Mystified by Dems worriedly telling everyone to be careful because the letter is probably fake. There's no proof it's fake. Just take the win! Act like Republicans for once and run with it. Assume it's real. Donald Trump is a pedophile. Make headlines. Do TikTok videos. Shove it down their throats.

James Talarico exposes GOP private school voucher scam:
“Elon Musk is a Texas resident and is eligible for these funds.
He has 8 children. That's $2 million in funds for Elon Musk.
You're taking tax dollars of plumbers and nurses to subsidize families who already have kids at private schools."

Republicans are going to spend 2026 in the lab. They're reading the same numbers we are and they know a rebrand is in order.
@jlray.bsky.social predicts Republicans will move quickly to rebrand ahead of 2026. Democrats should not assume they are still running against the same Trump era message, as the GOP adapts its pitch to working people and rural communities despite their own policies hurting them.

I voted against the extreme Republicans' attempt to criminalize gender affirming care for transgender youth. Families & their doctors, not Republican members of Congress, should be able to make their own, private medical decisions.
House Republicans just voted to CRIMINALIZE providing medically-necessary healthcare for young trans people—threatening parents & doctors with a DECADE in prison.
We urge our colleagues in the Senate to block this dangerously harmful bill!

Big Surprise—AG Pam Bondi is ignoring the law requiring her to turnover the complete Epstein files today. During the months that Trump and his errand runner, Speaker Johnson, have been making zealous efforts to block public disclosure, Bondi had ample time to prepare these documents for release.
