New reporting finds that Trump's DOJ took over and quashed a state investigation into Epstein's New Mexico ranch in 2019. As the walls close in on Trump, he'll do anything — including launch full-scale wars — to distract the public.

Let it be known that the Trump regime is fine with you being ripped off or swindled by financial scammers.

Regulators won hundreds of millions in refunds for U.S. consumers — now the Trump administration is set to terminate them. www.levernews.com/trump-is-hol...

This made me laugh out loud- a rare occurrence these days when looking at govt websites. I was looking up the status of a bill in Massachusetts (where cod is the state fish) and must have made a typo, because this screen popped up.

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell. This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

About 75 supporters of National Parks here at Springfield Armory National Park, including Harry and Susie, who met at Sequoia National Park 61 years ago. #ResistanceRangers

Harry and Sudie met at Sequoia National Park 61 years ago and have been to about 30 National Parks since. They came to the Springfield Armory National Park today to show their support. Thank you Sudie and Harry! #resistancerangers

Fact check: that’s not why millions of people are “mad” at Elon. Classic MAGA straw man. The far right is afraid to debate because they can’t defend a deranged gazillionaire illegally dismantling important government functions without transparency or oversight.

I'm all for going after waste, fraud, and abuse. The Department of Defense spends $800+ billion a year. It's never passed a single audit. Ever. USAID was audited three months ago. Is Elon scared to lose all the defense contract money he pockets from the Pentagon?

As Trump tries to dismantle the Department of Education, remember that his plan to cut the corporate tax rate to 15% would give the 100 largest corporations a tax cut larger than the entire department's K-12 budget. Really think about how twisted this all is.

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers. This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder. Auschwitz took time.

Another counter propaganda meme. We need to flood the internet with these. Make your own, it’s fun! Or use mine… either way, this is our wedge right now and we need to hammer it home. Please share to every platform, especially X.

Those observing Christmas are celebrating a family of asylum seekers. If there is indeed a "War on Christmas," it's being waged by those trying to make our country less safe for the poor, for the marginalized, and for refugees.
