The height of hypocrisy is Republicans ranting about protecting girls from transgenders in the bathroom, but when given the chance to protect girls from the pedophile in the White House, they chose to cover it up. #ProudBlue #Pinks #TrumpIsUnfitForOffice Epstein Files

Judge Sooknanan: As I said at the start of this hearing, I got a call at 2:36 am [last night] because the government chose the wee hours of the morning on the Sunday of Labor Day weekend to execute a plan to move these children. That's why we're here.

Cost of Trump's D.C. Occupation: $1.1M per day. Cost to operate public housing for D.C.'s entire homeless population: $169,226 per day. It's not about what this country can or can’t afford. It’s about priorities.

From 2019-2024, Lowe's spent $46.6 BILLION on stock buybacks. That's enough to give each of its 273k employees a $28k bonus for the next six years. Instead, it paid its CEO 659x what it paid median employees. And we STILL think corporate tax breaks will magically trickle down?

Here is how the media should be reporting this morning's news. As part of a growing pattern of political retribution, Donald Trump's FBI has raided the home of a prominent administration critic. In this instance it happens to be John Bolton. The pretense is largely irrelevant.

To all who are convinced we won't have elections in 2026: If Trump has the power to end elections in the U.S., why is he so desperate to gerrymander our states? In a world of people who fall for right-wing psy-ops and give up before fighting, be a Newsom. The MAGAs only win if you let them.

The upward redistribution of wealth over the past 50 years has shifted $80 trillion from the bottom 90% of Americans to the top 1%. That’s $80 trillion that would have gone into the paychecks of the working class. The greatest trick of all is trickle-down economics.
