Epstein survivor Dani Bensky: You can’t say that you want to make sure sex offenders and sex traffickers are behind bars and then vote for him. Every vote for Blanche is really a vote against survivors. If Thom Tillis wants to call, I’m happy to talk to him. We’ve been trying to get in touch

Trump reduced the tariffs on China in exchange for nothing. He paused the tariffs on Canada & Mexico in exchange for nothing. He postponed tariffs on EU in exchange for nothing. He threatened Russia with sanctions if they didn’t sign ceasefire & did nothing. Art of the Deal.

It's so fitting that Donald Trump's inauguration will be held in the Capitol Rotunda, the very place four years ago where his pack of lawless loons ransacked, looted, and smeared their excrement. What an apt metaphor for what the incoming administration plans to do to America.

The incoming Trump Administration is stacked with billionaires. His cabinet’s net worth is greater than the GDP of 169 different countries. Their top priority is a tax cut and they plan to pay for it by gutting Medicare, Medicaid, and privatizing Social Security. Let that sink in for a minute…

Do you know how much CEO pay has skyrocketed since 1978? 100%? 500%? Try 1,085% Meanwhile, the $7.25/hr fed. minimum wage hasn't budged in 15 years and the tipped min. wage has been $2.13/hr since 1991. This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.
