Epstein: Too important to ignore. Yet it’s the perfect distraction, to keep much of the country’s political energy on the scandal, so that the “government,” with corporations and the wealthy class, can continue to screw the American people over in the later stages of capitalism.
The GOP is trying to sneak legislation into a bigger bill that would preempt state laws around the regulation of AI, and create a national environment with very little regulation of the technology.

What do these corporations have in common?
Netflix
Ford
Tesla
T-Mobile
Duke Energy
DISH Network
Metlife
Dominion Energy
United States Steel
In recent years, they all paid their execs more than they paid in taxes.
This is what a corporate-rigged system looks like.

New rule: if you’re a Supreme Court Justice and you’re mentioned in the Epstein files, you have to recuse from any future lawsuit about the Epstein Files Transparency Act.

The public deserves to know the extent of Epstein’s abuse and to hold accountable anybody—regardless of political affiliation—who enabled it. Add your name to the petition to demand the Department of Justice and White House publicly release the files.

They called them “violent mobs,” but the violence came from the guys with badges and body armor.
📌 Keep sharing videos, everyone, because they’re evidence.

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion.
The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion.
Read that back.
When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.
