Make Peter Thiel into the villain, Democrats.

He is the node that connects Trump, Vance, Palantir, Musk, Epstein, and so many other terrible players.
Just expose it and make him and Musk the face of these psychopathic billionaires ruining our lives.

We have tons of information about Miller's white supremacist mindset from leaked emails in 2019. That has totally disappeared from our discussion of his goal of ethnic cleansing. That's why I wanted to speak to Michael Edison Hayden who reported out those emails.

Women who took their spouses’ last names (& others with name changes) could get around the birth certificate problem if they have passports. But not everyone has one. And getting one takes time & $$$. The GOP’s bill doesn’t even offer to cover the expense, making it equivalent to a poll tax.
The GOP’s new Voter Suppression bill, the so-called “SAVE Act,” would disenfranchise many of the 69 million women who took their husbands’ last names, as explained in my summary.
It proposes *no penalties* for erroneous voter purges but potential *prison time* for erroneous registrations. WTF?! 1/

Yes, we’re looking at you, Lisa Murkowski & Susan Collins & Thom Tillis, you absolute oath-violating cowards.
These 5 people could caucus with the Democrats, giving them a majority & firmly opposing the fascism, any time. It might be nice for an enterprising journalist to ask them why they keep not doing this every day as the crimes & corruption continue & John Thune refuses to fulfill his oath of office.
