Let this in. Half of 🇺🇸 struggles to pay rent, MUCH higher % for young people — average first home buyer is now 40 (!) “housing market = wealth transfer mechanism from young renters to existing owners” The system is rigged. We can’t go on like this.

My goodness.

Oscar winner Susan Sarandon: “I was fired by my agency for marching and calling for a ceasefire in Gaza. It even became impossible for me to appear on TV. I couldn't do any major film...”

The stupid Republicans in Congress today set a precedent: It will now be OK for Democrats, when they take back control, to haul ex-president Trump into the chamber to testify under oath about his many crimes.

When you think about it for more than 5 seconds, it really is both insane and outrageous that *HILLARY CLINTON* - a woman who apparently has never met with nor corresponded with Jeffrey Epstein was one of the first people deposed.

We can argue about when it started, from trickle-down economics to citizens united, but there’s no denying it’s here.

It's really not supposed to be a government of the oligarchs, by the oligarchs, and for the oligarchs.

We are playing the long game. We will never give up. MAGa can have their little tantrums. They won't win.

RIP Neil Sedaka www.nbcnews.com/news/obituar...

A sobering read of how both sides struggle to hold the rich and powerful accountable. This isn’t simply about getting justice for the survivors anymore. I would argue it’s also about salvaging our broken republic. It’s about returning our government back to the people.

Spread the word. And call your senators.

Seems important

what the hell was Chris Wright doing here?

🇵🇸 US public sympathy has shifted sharply toward Palestinians since Israel launched its genocidal war, a new Gallup poll finds: ➤ In 2023, 54% of Americans said they sympathized more w/ Israelis, compared to 31% for Palestinians. ➤ Now: 41% say their sympathies lean toward Palestinians, only 36%...

WTF are these bumbling incompetents doing? apnews.com/article/mili...

Trump lies: "I don't know anything about the Epstein files. I've been fully exonerated."

Bill Clinton’s opening statement to the House Oversight Committee.

Lauren Boebert is asked to define “inflation.” It does not go well.

Breaking: House Oversight Democrats have the votes to force Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick to testify before their panel about his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, according to Rep. Ro Khanna.

This is a big one. A newly uncovered document has revealed the existence of a mystery Epstein investigation. It was spearheaded by the DEA and involved drug trafficking and money laundering. Epstein was one of 15 targets. The other 14 names are redacted. I've got questions.

Every senator who voted to confirm RFK Jr owns this tragedy. Every single one.

This is a type of ICE "ruse," and is a tactic the agency has deployed for decades. In 2015, ICE went to my former client's house posing as cops and convinced his 16-year-old US citizen niece to call him home from work with a fake story (the "identity theft ruse" explained below), then arrested him.

Trump’s billionaire allies will now own CNN, Fox News, CBS, WaPo, WSJ and NY Post — plus 185+ local tv stations and news in 100 markets. They also control X, Facebook, Instagram, Threads, WhatsApp, TikTok, Truth and Twitch. This is all by design to manipulate and surveil us. Pay attention.

This is an unassailable, indisputable argument for birthright citizenship under originalism, which every Republican Justice claims they use, and yet we can't really say with confidence what will happen because they just play Calvinball with the law anyway.

Seems important

The fucking around has already happened. Hoping for a very large dose of finding out.

If you think all the brutal, fascistic shit ICE is doing isn't causing people to radicalize to the left, you're not paying attention. This is especially true in Minnesota, and also the border regions of Texas.

Congress and the courts are refusing to give Trump what he wants, so he’s concocting a new plan to seize control of the election. Here’s what you need to know: open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

Dear BlueSky: Melania Trump is a sex worker. So, of course, the pictures advertising her services are going to be sexually suggestive. She would be more incompetent than her senile husband if they weren't. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

This is the way the average American is forced to live because our hard earned money is being siphoned to turn billionaires into trillionaires.

LEFT: Trump’s DHS just lied again. RIGHT: Wash post with video proof. Another man dead. father of 2, nearly blind, dropped off in the cold outside a closed coffee shop. They lied that it was warm & open. Without accountability it will happen again. www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...

This is not a fake narrative being peddled by leftists in the media. It is exactly what Anthropic is saying. They aren’t prepared to give up on these 2 conditions and are willing to put their $200 million contract at risk over it. All Hegseth can say is, ‘Trust me, bro.’

Stunning and historic result in the Gordon and Denton parliamentary by-election in the UK. The anti-genocide Green Party led by Zack Polanski has won the seat from Keir Starmer's governing Labour Party. Nigel Farage's Reform UK and its odious candidate Matt Goodwin beaten.

Stunning reversal of public sentiment—and part of the motivation behind the Ellisons’ recent media investments (including TikTok, CBS News, and now CNN) is to redirect support back to Israel:

Interviewer: "What's your take on how he's framing the economy?" Me: "It's that he's lying."

McGowan: There's three people mentioned most in the Epstein files: Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell and Donald Trump. But we're deposing Hillary Clinton?

Wow jmail.world/drive

DANGER ⚠️ DANGER Pro-Trump lawyers are circulating a draft executive order. The bogus claim: China interfered in 2020 and justifies a national emergency declaration that would give Trump sweeping power over U.S. elections. 1/2

If Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton, who were NOT mentioned over a million times in the Epstein files, can testify before Congress about Jeffrey Epstein, then so can Donald J. Trump, who was.

👀

There are two explanations for the Trump Admin’s Russia’s policy: 1. This admin is secretly aligned with Putin and lying about that to the world and the American people, or 2. they are incredibly naive fools who ignore overwhelming evidence that contradicts their worldview.

"OMG! Really? R U serious?!" 😾

Lutnick Photographed With Epstein in Bombshell Deleted File The picture was located by “jmail,” a site that has a searchable version of Epstein’s Gmail inbox. It does not match any results on the DOJ’s Epstein website. www.thedailybeast.com/howard-lutni... www.removepaywall.com/search?url=h...

It’s great that Republicans on House Oversight established a precedent today for First Ladies to be deposed about Epstein. Can’t wait until Democrats take over the committee at the end of the year.

The DOJ is flat out LYING when they claim compliance with the Epstein law. Millions of files are being withheld under the assertion of privilege. Take them to court immediately. Get a judge to assign an independent special master. Let the SM review the remaining files and determine compliance.

Block the Paramount/Warner Bros deal, Dems in California. Play hardball.

JUST IN: Columbia student Ellie Aghayeva has been released after agents allegedly used false pretenses to enter her dorm. Mamdani says he raised her case with Trump today. Agents reportedly claimed they were searching for a missing person, without a judicial warrant.

Arrest them.
