People need to understand what’s happening in Washington state because it’s outrageous and barely being covered by the news media. But I think it matters, and I think you’ll agree. The state is facing growing legal & public scrutiny over widespread sexual abuse of juveniles in state custody. 🧵

I just want to live in a country where the leader can’t enrich themselves with our tax dollars, the government does what the people want, and the wealthy have to follow the laws. You know, like a democracy.

📌Five yrs. ago, the GOP-led Senate Intelligence Committee issued a report finding Trump's dealings with Russian intelligence during the 2016 election posed a “grave counterintelligence threat.” Marco Rubio was one of the authors of that report. Today he works for Trump, and Trump for Putin. INSANE.

I want ICE gone. But at the very least, they need better training—they clearly don’t know what the F they’re doing. 🚨 A man was killed on the 210 Freeway after running into traffic while fleeing an ICE raid at a Home Depot. This is the second known death in Southern California tied to these raids.

“[Maxwell's] willingness to brazenly lie under oath about her conduct, including some of the conduct charged in the Indictment, strongly suggests her true motive has been & remains to avoid being held accountable for her crimes,” prosecutors wrote in a pretrial motion www.nbcnews.com/politics/jus...

Can Ghislaine Maxwell be trusted to tell the truth about Jeffrey Epstein?
As the uproar over the Epstein files continues, prosecutors say the late sex offender's longtime accomplice has a history of lying. Her defense lawyer says she will speak truthfully.

Yes, Trump’s Obama Derangement Syndrome is real — but it’s just a sliver of his relentless jihad against intellect and his ugly obsession with bringing down those he envies and despises as the elites who’ll never embrace him as one of their own.

He’s incapable of empathy, conscience, morality, and remorse. He is a pathological liar. He has destructive personality disorders—narcissism, sociopathy, and paranoia. He speaks at the level of a fifth-grader and can barely spell, and his mental capacity deteriorates with each passing day. (2/2)

We have a president who virtually never thinks rationally, logically, or even in sequential steps. Nor can he fully comprehend causes and effects. His base of knowledge on virtually all subjects relating to governance and economics and world affairs is minimal. (1/2)
