Trump is willing to collapse the U.S. economy and start WW3 just to avoid the full release of Epstein Files

BREAKING: ICE agents rammed this United States Marine veteran’s car and put her through torture just because she was following them from a safe distance. “they said ‘have you not learned: this is why we killed that lesbian bitch’” Is this really what Maga voted for? For US military veterans to be beaten, tortured and made fun of?

There is no such thing as a “federal permit” to rebuild homes — so nothing has been “issued” by the senile President. What hasn’t been delivered is federal disaster relief. One year later, survivors are still waiting.

Let’s talk fraud. @SenRickScott’s company ColumbiaHCA defrauded Medicare & was fined $2 billion— a record. Scott invoked 5th amendment 75 times to avoid prison & received $300M retirement which he used to buy FL Governorship & Senate seat. He’s doubled his net worth since.

This is not normal. This is not normal. This is not normal. You don’t tell a child she’s “beautiful and cute”. You especially don’t do it while being implicated in a child sex trafficking operation.
🚨BREAKING: Trump’s White House Christmas call comes at disastrous timing after he tells an EIGHT YEAR OLD girl on the phone that she sounds “beautiful and cute.” Knowing what we know now, this is disturbing.

This is illegal. They were required BY LAW to release the Epstein files by today. Donald Trump is covering for pedophiles, and @AGPamBondi is complicit.

Unlike Texas, we're not following @realDonaldTrump's orders to quietly try to redistrict our way out of losing the next election. In California, we're working transparently to respond if Texas enacts new maps — and we'll give the power to the people to make our final decision.

Translation: I failed and got played.
The derelict Democrats spent two weeks of shirking their responsibilities and wasting taxpayer money running from a fight. Now Republicans will do what we were always going to do: pass the new maps and a host of conservative legislation.

Stephen Miller is lying and whining again. We must be doing something right.
🚨BREAKING: Stephen Miller just said Gavin Newsom and Karen Bass are "GUILTY OF CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY." "They are facilitating child trafficking, s*x trafficking."

Fixed it for you. What the Republicans have done is disgraceful and potentially illegal. If Texas is trying to squeeze out more Democrats, there will be lawsuits that overturn that.
Abbott on Redistricting: What the Democrats have done is disgraceful and potentially illegal. If California is trying to squeeze out more Republicans, there will be lawsuits that overturn that.

Newsom has discovered the way back. Troll right back at them. They cannot handle it. The Gov was right. Every single technology company that relocated from California to Texas in the last 72 months has lost market share.

I was a reporter and anchor for ABC News. And as you may have heard … I'm not there anymore. Now I'm on Substack, that amazing space, and I can't wait to get into the important work that we all have to do.

I used to spend about $200 per month at Target before they bent the knee to trump and decided they didn't need my business with their dumb anti-DEI games. I haven't been there since, and the best part is that now I realize I never needed their shit. Fuck you, @Target. I hope you go bankrupt.
A lot of people thought that boycotts don't work. But, they do. Especially sustained boycotts like the one against Target for their ending of DEI considerations. Target's CEO, Brian Cornell, is asked for a meeting with Civl Rights leader Al Sharpton. Target is being hit where it hurts, in the profits. Money trumps everything. Fight the Power!!!
