Fun fact: “Banana Republic” refers to Latin American governments overthrown with US backing so the Dole Corp. could install its own preferred corrupt government to protect its monopoly and profits

The thing that makes me the most upset about the illegal actions in Venezuela is that they are a “Wag the Dog” effort to supplant the Jack Smith and Epstein coverage.

She has the microphone.
She has immunity.
If her concern were really about the victims, names in The Epstein Files would be said out loud — on the House floor.
Silence isn’t caution.
It’s a choice.

Donald Trump telling Marjorie Taylor Greene not to talk about Epstein because "my friends will get hurt" is an example of how manipulative Donald is.
Donald doesn't have any friends. And he only cares about himself.
He was trying to manipulate her to protect himself.

Today I received FOUR death notifications for people in ICE custody. That's 30 deaths since Trump took office. It's appalling & unacceptable.
ICE is required—by law—to ensure detainees are safe & their basic needs are met. It's clear this isn't the case. We NEED answers.

Here’s another wonderful story written by K. A. EXCELL. The story takes you from laugh to cry and back again. It’s a feel-good tale filled with lots of cute characters. Before I started it, I had no knowledge of cakepops OR kitsunes, and they both sound terrific.
