Treasury Department files reviewed by Senator Ron Wyden’s staff members show 4,725 wire transfers, adding up to nearly $1.1 billion, associated with just one of Mr. Epstein’s bank accounts. Follow. The. Money.

"Epstein clearly had access to enormous financing to operate his sex trafficking network, and the details on how he got the cash to pay for it are sitting in a Treasury Department filing cabinet." https://trib.al/ZTn3IyO

The Department of Justice is pretending it needed to talk to notorious liar Ghislaine Maxwell to know the truth about Jeffrey Epstein, when it is concealing thousands of documents about him that don’t lie. It’s a sick farce.

The American people need to raise holy hell and not stop until the full Epstein files are released and EVERY person implicated in them is brought to justice, despite their party or position. We're either a nation of human decency or we're not. This should be a nonpartisan demand.

Why are there not like half a million people surrounding the White House yeIIing “release the files, chiId rapist” 24/7? This isn’t being taken as seriousIy as it should. There is a PEDOPHlLE in control of all 3 branches of the US government.

BREAKING: We just subpoenaed the Epstein files. As a survivor of sexual assault, I know the pain & trauma survivors carry. This subpoena is a massive victory for every survivor who has ever been silenced, dismissed, or harmed. Bondi must release the files immediately. We demand accountability.

Speaker Johnson sent the House home early, hoping the pressure to release the Epstein files dies off. They’re planning to subpoena Ghislaine Maxwell. But look out—Trump might be cooking up a pardon deal. Pay-to-play. She gets freedom, and in return, she says exactly what he wants her to say.

Yep.

Okay yeah, I’m gonna push back on this publicly (and as always, do not dogpile or you get banished to the cornfield) When you *spend money* to back Christian nationalist movements, that makes you a Christian nationalist, I don’t care how good your fucking burgers or chicken sandwiches are.

They voted for him knowing that he was on the Iist. They don’t actuaIIy care that he’s a pedophiIe. It is literaIIy impossible to not have heard about the many chiIdren that Trump raped. Don’t buy into their buIIsh*t.

People have been posting this pic because it embarrasses Donald about his connection to Jeffrey Epstein. But the other thing I like about it is Donald's cheap, drug store hair color. It's too red, too dark. Donald never had much to work with, but self-sabotaging his appearance is a long tradition.

“Joe Rogan's Trump endorsement is unraveling. He's furious over ICE raids targeting gardeners and students. He's asking if we're sliding into fascism.” He knows what he endorsed. He knew what would happen. Joe Rogan wiII aIways be eviI fiIth.

I cannot celebrate this day. I can literally walk o to my balcony and have the nation's fireworks delivered to me but I will not. I love my country. I hate where we are and who is destroying what we stand for. #NoFourth

🚨 Trump just signed Republicans' Big Ugly Betrayal into law—the largest-ever transfer of wealth from the poor to the rich in our country’s history. This partisan bill is immoral and wrong. Americans WILL make their voices and votes heard at the ballot box.

I am so disgusted by us as a nation.

Concentration camps with no privacy, guarded by the military, in terrible climate, on indigenous lands. This happened to Japanese Americans. And of course indigenous peoples were “removed” to reservations, that is to say, camps. This is who we always have been as a country.

Sick and tired of Republican Senators coming to me privately saying, “Mark, keep speaking up, you’re our conscience.” I don’t want to be their damn conscience. I want them to vote their conscience.

The Senate bill would make the bottom 40% of America, on avg, poorer It would take from the poor while giving to the rich This isn’t shared sacrifice where everyone tightens their belts. The poor have to tighten their belts while the rich loosen theirs Stunning graph from @budgetlab.bsky.social

I was as proud of our country that day as I am embarrassed by it today.

Today marks the 10-year anniversary of Obergefell v. Hodges — the historic Supreme Court ruling legalizing gay marriage. This was a huge step forward for LGBTQIA+ communities. And as Republicans try to strip these hard-fought rights, we won’t back down.

NEW: The Trump admin finalized an emergency regulation, which goes into effect tomorrow, authorizing DHS to impose civil monetary penalties for immigration law violations with far less due process. The rule could lead to DHS imposing exorbitant fines on millions of people — fines they can't afford.

You know what you don't see? Women ICE agents. I truly thi k these are evil, psychologically troubled men and no one should be having children with them for the good of humanity.

Open fascism from a member of Congress. Genuinely scary.

They had houses built for returning soldiers...I lived in one.

MAGA gets all misty-eyed with nostalgia for the 1950s. And it’s not just the White Supremacy. They think of it as a time of great prosperity. But they don't realize that government programs like the GI Bill were driving much of that prosperity. You know, socialism.
