For 50 years, the median wage of hourly workers stagnated or declined while the stock market and CEO pay skyrocketed. Is it any wonder why so many feel abandoned by the system? People lose faith, and a demagogue fills the void. This is why we must fix the system. AOC is right.

By Clay Bennett of the Chattanooga Times Free Press:

We have now entered the "His Opponents Are Afraid of Falling Out of Windows" stage of Donald Trump's emulation of Vladmir Putin.

These men suffered torture in a Salvadoran prison because the Trump administration denied them due process. This ruling is a critical victory and step in the right direction.

As a former Texan...this news is shocking. The Epstein tentacles are overarching and alarming. 📷 Photo credit KWTX #Pinks

There are idiots with dangerous machines in charge.

Lemon’s lawyers coming out throwing haymakers in the first round.

A local Limerick playwright did a play about the extras on John Ford's Rising of the Moon filming (staged on scene, so we got to see a church that is not normally open as part of watching it). It focused on the stale buns, reneged wages, and promised Porter. This, similarly, should become a play.

In govts around the world, people in the Epstein files are resigning in disgrace. In private business, executives in the files are resigning in disgrace. In the Trump admin, nothing happens since the boss is in the files more than anyone and his party is filled with cowards.

China will provide humanitarian energy aid to Ukraine after repeated Russian strikes on power infrastructure. China could do much more — but this signals to Putin that ending the war is in Beijing’s interest, while Ukraine urgently needs relief. www.kyivpost.com/post/69999

Trump lies

Incompetence is what you get when a President refuses to hire anyone smarter than him.

Prince Andrew allegedly used the code phrase “Mrs Windsor will arrive shortly” to bring young women into Buckingham Palace unchecked. Staff say it was routine. Now there are calls for a police probe. Who’s accountable? Who knew? #USDemocracy #Pinks apple.news/A-FGN8f9kSyC...

WTF

This has been the coolest part of the last few months, all of these people stopping Kat on the street to just shoot the shit about what’s working and what’s not because they know her from Instagram or the TV. It happens… a lot. They’re usually people who say they don’t vote but now they will.

NEWS: After a massive national outcry, a judge has ordered Trump to undo the unlawful deportation of Any Lopez Belloza. Any attempt to further prosecute, jail, or deport Any — who is an innocent American college student — is unacceptable.

The Fifteen Million Dollar Man and he can’t even run fast in slow motion.

They'd rather shut down critical agencies like FEMA and TSA than work with us to rein in aggressive, lawless practices at ICE and CBP. I invite everyone to read our list of 10 reform proposals for yourself! (2/2)

Norway just did what the USA wont Former PM Thorbjørn Jagland was taken into custody today after losing immunity over Epstein ties. First real detention linked to this scandal.

Hey DOJ, you up?

Corporate crooks stole money from their investors and defrauded Americans. They were convicted of crimes. Then Donald Trump got involved. I asked Trump's SEC Chair about what happened next.

This is so embarrassing. The cartel drones Pam Bondi was sounding the alarm about during the hearing turned out to be… party balloons. This administration is so incompetent.

Thanks so much for the add in the THURSDAY RECOMMENDS ROLL CALL 1 Starter Pack 💙👊🏻

Is there anyone in the Trump admin who isn’t a complete scumbag?

This proves that men didn't have to go to the island to take advantage of those young girls. So ppl can stop trying to tie those perverts to the island. Epstein had 4 homes that we know of in the continental U.S. knewz.com/epstein-orde...

Love this.

“It’s not right. And it’s not something that I would have ever thought I would have lived.” Alejandro Barranco is a U.S. Marine. His father was beaten and detained by immigration agents while at work. Listen to his telling of the impact this had on him and his community.

It was Kash who said they had a suspect, the DoorDash guy had his home and phones searched and released without nary an apology! 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡

We need public trials for all these co-conspirators. I don’t care if they were also once a victim. As far as we know, they’re still trafficking young children today.

Frost on seeing the "unredacted" Epstein files: A few takeaways. Number one, there's a lot of documents that are still redacted. When I asked the DOJ about it, they said they received it that way, which means that Kash FBI kept them redacted when they gave it to the DOJ, which is interesting...

Will Fox be updating their story on this and giving it the same amount of airtime as they did initial arrest?

Secrets don't remain secret forever...the toppling tower of deception, lies and crime has begun. #ProudBlue #DV1 #Pinks

I don't fear China, Russia, or any other country. What I do fear is the ass-kissing, do-nothing, cowardly Republican Party.
