What worries me is that I am not hearing enough talk about the Epsteins files.

The response when progressive policies that help millions of people are proposed...

"How will you pay for it?"

The response when the richest 1% ask for tax cuts, or banks ask for bailouts, or defense contractors ask for more contracts...

"How much do you need?"

It doesn't have to be this way.

I'm having trouble dealing with my angry feelings of late.
Being powerless to do anything about the shtfckry happening in our world today is very damaging to the psyche.
Western governments are out of control and not listening to the people.
The Fourth Reich marches on.

Chris Murphy: "I think it's likely the United States that carried out this attack on this school. I think it's unforgivable under any circumstances, but the fact this was one of our first targeting decisions speaks to the incompetence of our leadership at the Dept of Defense."

BREAKING:Democrat Alex Holladay defeats Republican Bryan Renshaw in the Arkansas House District 70 special election, flipping the GOP-held suburban Little Rock seat from 🔴 to 🔵.

If trump was a Russian asset trying to destroy America, what would he do differently?

Obama: "We are living in a time where it can be hard to hope. Each day we wake up to some new assault on our democratic institutions. Another setback to the idea of the rule of law ... but this man - Rev. Jesse Jackson - inspires us to take a harder path ... bc if we don't step up, nobody else will"

So Iran now has, perhaps for the first time, information about the location of our most sensitive covert sites in the region.

A completely foreseeable, unnecessary consequence of unnecessary war with Iran.

This is who our President is...

The pretty much answers the question as to why Trump blasted Iran? He needed to create a major distraction to remove the focus on the Epstein files.

Today's abysmal jobs report is a reminder that tax cuts for corporations and the rich don’t create jobs or grow the economy.

What's required is investment in working people — and better wages.

When workers have money to spend, the economy grows and businesses create more jobs.

Remember this.

We have a depraved,rogue President who has no boundaries and the GOP IS TOO COWARDLY to put up guardrails like Gen. Milley and Gen. Kelly did. The criminals running our country are now totally okay with our troops dying in an illegal and forever war. Immigrants are dying in our concentration camps.

DHS nominee Markwayne Mullin is one of the most active stock-traders in the Senate — and violated the STOCK Act against insider trading as recently as last August.

He currently holds stock in L3Harris, which has millions in contracts with ICE and FEMA.

The grift continues.

“Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed...This is not a way of life...it is humanity hanging from a cross of iron.”

-Dwight Eisenhower 1953

We are in the midst of the longest, saddest, most excruciating and unsatisfying I TOLD YOU SO in the history of the world.

The Trump regime has abandoned the constitution:

- declared war without Congressional authorization

- ignoring multiple court orders

- impounding Congressional authorized funds

- ignoring the freedom of speech and assembly

It’s a lawless regime that has no legitimacy.

So remarkably frustrated by the United States government this week. That it is in the hands of the worst, most incompetent, most compromised people. Ideologues and grifters. That our society enables it all. That they give a blank check to war mongers and the 1% and literally starve the country.

It’s like the American government [is] addicted to international violence, to wars, to assassinations, to launching those hegemonic wars that they [cannot] end.”

Kristi Noem has done a stunning amount of damage and it’s good she’s gone.

But this doesn’t change the fact that we need a complete overhaul of DHS, impartial investigations into the killings of two American citizens, and information on children that were taken from Minnesota.

Raskin: Based on what you know today, were Renee Good and Alex Pretti domestic terrorists?

Noem: What happened was an absolute tragedy.

Raskin: Were they domestic terrorists?

Noem: My condolences to their families

Raskin: You lied about them.

I'm not even slightly distracted from the details contained within the Epstein files. Are you?

Multiply the number of reported war deaths by at least one hundred because you can't believe a mother fucking word this Epstein administration says or any fucking bullshit numbers they make up
