Stop using the language of the rapist. It is not sex with children, it is rape of children. It is not underage girls, it is children. It is not sex trafficking, it is rape trafficking.

“Quiet people have the loudest minds.” — Stephen King

no one except the victims deserve protection. no one.

BREAKING: Rep. Adelita Grijalva has officially signed onto the Epstein discharge petition. That means there are now 218 votes — and a full vote must come to the floor.

The president of the united states is a pedophile rapist who was best buddies with Jeffrey Epstein and spent hours with an underage victim at Epstein's home. Now he's currently huddled in the situation room directing a cover up about it like it's a seal team 6 operation. Do I have that right?

There should be a weather app for introverts, like: “Today, Trader Joe‘s will be partly crowdy with a 70% chance of bumping into people you know.”

#Grijalva told All Things Considered she "absolutely" still planned to sign the #Epstein discharge petition once she is sworn in, explaining she wants "justice for the survivors and consequences for those who committed crimes against children and women." #SwearHerIn www.wbur.org/npr/nx-s1-56...

It’s time 🌲

You’re at Harold. I need you at Maude.

It's past my bedtime. Sleepy thought... empathy for yourself isn't the same as "feeling sorry for yourself." Be nice to you. Goodnight, freaks. I love you. 🩷✌🏽🐈‍⬛️

Rep Jim McGovern taking no prisoners is giving me life! 🔥 Brilliant snark.

I shouldn't be surprised by this over reach here. @SarahKendzior is on Substack Now, we've got to follow certain necessary voices on multiple media, just in case they are de-platformed.

Bring back @SarahKendzior ! #Booksky

Ahead of Veterans Day, I was honored to welcome a flight of veterans and their families as they arrived in DC.

gonna find all the Ann Geddes babies and recreate their photographs as adults

How perfectly convenient that the Democrats who folded are all insulated from any immediate electoral consequences. Nothing ensures courageous governance like a total lack of accountability.

OH THANK ALL THE OLD GODS AND THE NEW GODS AND ALL THE DOGS AND CATS 🌈

@warren.senate.gov @markey.senate.gov it’s time. please lead the calls for change, to bench both Schumer & Durbin.

What will Mike Johnson's new excuse be for not swearing in Grijalva?

Tonight’s Senate vote on the federal government shutdown should have been a time for strength. Instead we saw capitulation and a betrayal of working Americans. The American people need more from their leaders.

What is the point of a political party that will not fight for the people?

Thankful for the artists, the poets, the musicians, the photographers. The kind hearts, the huggers. These are the people who get us through the hard times. These are the people who remind us of the good.

I am definitely an old soul, how about you?

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person. The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person. People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives. And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

No health care, no deal.

I will not support a deal that does nothing to make health care more affordable. We are in a health care emergency. A simple one-year extension of these tax credits would cost less than Donald Trump’s $40 billion bailout for Argentina. A vote for this bill is a mistake.

Went to reach into my jacket pocket and pulled out a small handful of Kleenex tissues. The metamorphosis is complete. I have become my mother.

All I want is a humble castle on the Irish coast, a crackling fire, a vintage mystery novel, an emotional support raven, a raging thunderstorm, a few purring cats, endless cups of tea, and a scandalous amount of freshly-baked pastries.

NEW: EXCLUSIVE: I spoke to sources at FBI and DOJ that reviewed the Epstein files. It’s worse than the photos. I’ll let you know what they said today at 3:30 PM PT / 6:30 PM ET on @meidastouch.com. Link to show: www.youtube.com/live/hEi77Ib...
