🚨 BLANCHE I’m sick of pretending this is normal. The defense attorney who just kept Trump out of jail is now AG—meaning he controls the Epstein files. It’s a shameless cover-up. Congress can subpoena them, but only if we force it. 60 secs: 👇 actionnetwork.org/letters/tell...

Is it a big deal that the U.S. president is telling insane lies that he personally rushed to the site of 9/11 and heroically acted like a first responder himself? Sorta seems like it should be! Maybe?

Senate Republicans refused to convict Trump after Jan 6. Republican SCOTUS appointees gave him immunity. Republicans in Congress today stand idly by as he unleashes death and destruction across the globe. We are now at the whims of a mad king because GOP leaders have refused to constrain him.

I’ve had to tell so many parents that their sons & daughters were dead, had been murdered. Their screams, their silences, their faces, their collapses, cling to me like cobwebs I can’t ever shake. Our leaders, so callous with death as games or memes or brags, know nothing of grief, only of greed.

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.
