The most beautiful statement I have heard for at least the last 6 months...was this morning, when one of Epstein's survivors said the group will be creating their OWN list of powerful people who do REALLY BAD things.🔥 You could hear all of the guilty...and terrified sphincter's slamming shut.

The largest SNAP cuts in history went into effect yesterday, eliminating or drastically cutting food assistance for millions of Americans. And it’s all to pay for more tax cuts that primarily benefit the super-rich. Trickle-down economics isn't just a hoax — it's cruel.
