As a former public defender who represented thousands of people, I can’t stop thinking about the contrast the Epstein files raise. I watched 1000s face swift, devastating punishment for far less serious conduct — poor, marginalized, & presumed dangerous from the start.

Still reeling from the Stanford report on Brexit. Reduced GDP by up to 8% and investment by as much as 18%. The UK Treasury would have £40 billion more each year if Britain had remained in the EU. Devastating self-immolation.

Great job, @schumer.senate.gov. You've changed the story from "GOP hurting millions of Americans to please unpopular, failing, delusional despot who's destroying his party" to "Dems are too weak and divided in the face of Trump's strength to take a stand and protect Americans"

Absolute perfection. #Reform

Our Granddad is 100 and fought in D-day
and he thinks Farage is the right man to
sort Britain out. He says he reminds him
of one of the commanders he fought
alongside with distinction. In the next
few weeks he's going to auction off his
medals and donate all the money to
Reform. Anyone know how much an Iron Cross is worth?
