The US Justice Department withheld testimony that Donald Trump sexually abused a girl when she was 13 or 14 - according to a source who viewed unredacted Epstein files. This is the worst scandal in US history and should be the biggest news story on the planet right now. www.npr.org/2026/02/24/n...

I have long said people don't be hatin Chief Justice John Roberts as much as they should be hatin Chief Justice John Roberts
“Roberts has been embedding white-dominant authoritarianism into the country’s source code for two decades. It’s impossible to imagine today’s crisis without the Roberts court having first undermined the foundations of our democracy.” This all on the leader of the MAGA #scotus ↘️

Dear @kaine.senate.gov, I read the Post article about your possible solution to funding Social Security, along with Senator Bill Cassidy. Why do you not see the very obvious solution of raising the cap on taxable contributions, as most of the comments to the article suggested? Simple and fair.

Dear @fetterman.senate.gov, I hope you are satisfied that your vote for Bondi has empowered her move to prosecute the prosecutors. Did you expect anything different?
So @fetterman.senate.gov, I see you voted to confirm Pam Bondi. You know she's an election denier, right? And that she will do Trump's bidding whether it is legal or not, right? It's really sad that you have decided to be the replacement Manchin/Sinema of the Democratic party.

Please spread this message far and wide. Lies are spreading and the only way to stop it is with the truth.
For fact’s sake: There was NO $17 million cut to the Los Angeles Fire Department budget this year. In fact, there was a $50 million INCREASE in the Los Angeles Fire Department. Cold, hard facts. Full stop. Period. To those who spread misinformation: issue corrections. Now.
