NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen. Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

These girls were misled and abused by powerful men who thought that the rules didn’t apply to them, that they could get away with anything. There should be justice. Release the files.

Imagine someone selling POTUS a bill of goods? #stability #housing #pulte www.politico.com/news/2025/11...

I just issued an executive order to develop a veteran food pantry network to provide food support for veterans, service members, and their families. Regardless of what happens at the federal level, Minnesota remains committed to providing for those who protect our freedom.

When you’re not coloring all the places where NO ONE lives the color red, and instead ONLY color the places where lots of people live, suddenly the political map looks rather different. #politics #maps #demographics #repubilcans #democrats

Whenever they call Mamdani a Communist remind them of this: finance.yahoo.com/news/trump-a...

Obama: I believe in an America where we don't fear each other. But look out for each other. And if we want that story to continue. If we believe in that better story. We need leaders who believe in it too.

Being informed these days is overwhelming! www.miamiherald.com/news/nation-...

Recall when we had a president who was a decent human being? Seems so remote and novel now.

Congress has great health care benefits, but they are trying to lessen ours... www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

This is the ad Donald Trump woke up furious about. Would be a shame if it went viral.

forgive me the lawlessness overwhelms me I am so tired of this shit

Who gave him permission to do this?? #whitehousedemolition #nokings www.youtube.com/watch?v=NvLA...

Why do we ask those who have been weakened by abuse to do the heaviest lifting-not just calling out the predatory schemes of those who abused them, but also testifying and being deposed under oath, as well as sitting for interviews and news conferences? #epstein www.nytimes.com/2025/10/19/o...

😕 We are all paying for this vanity project

Get your facts straight Mike.

Release the Epstein files.

Yes indeed!

Why did the chickens cross the road? To save democracy, of course! St. Paul, Mn!

Way to show up, Minneapolis! #nokings
