The most powerful force in American politics today is anti-establishment fury at a rigged economic system.
To counter Trump’s fake populism and his culture wars, progressives should mount a real battle against economic elites who have shafted America’s middle and working classes.

She says she mentioned Trump back in 1996 (!)
Yes, she says that the written complaint didn't capture everything she reported. She said she had mentioned both Clinton and Trump at the time she was reporting Epstein.

Maria has been accused over the years of fabricating her story that she had gone to the FBI. After finding the document in the trove, I called her. She broke down in tears.

Under RFK Jr., U.S. plans to stop recommending most vaccines, defer to doctors
The plan, which is not finalized, suggests children get fewer shots and shifts to a model telling parents to consult doctors to make their own vaccine choices.

Your Friday reminder that trickle-down economics is a cruel hoax.
Cruel because it's used by the super-rich to avoid paying their fair share of taxes.
And a hoax because nothing has ever trickled down.

When I went after affluent child abusers as a prosecutor, the defense attorneys came after me not only in the courtroom but personally as well. One of my judges even tried obstruct prosecution. I pray the Epstein survivors receive the justice they deserve.
