It was everybody business when the Republicans were on Hunter Biden for weeks and weeks.. Of course it’s our business to know who, what, where, this 20 year old is getting so much money from? They Investigated Hunter, time to Investigate Barron Trump..

The allegations against Donald Trump for sexual assault seem to have a common denominator: He is physically violent and intentionally inflicts pain on his victims. He likes to slam women and girls up against doors and walls as he roughly manhandles them. Donald Trump is a sick and twisted person.

NEW: "Donald Trump was an active participant in Jeffrey Epstein’s sexual abuse of young women during the mid-to-late 1990s," per new House Judiciary Dem report. Report has new allegation that Trump raped a 24-year-old and then promised the victim a visa & NYU admission, demanding she stay quiet.

@marcelias.bsky.social : “Mr. Blanche... we have beaten you and your team in court like a drum. So I hope you don't do what you are threatening or insinuating you might do. But if you do, I will see you in those courtrooms. I will win. And then I will dance on your head for those victories.”

I'm in a blue district in Massachusetts. There's zero chance the GOP will win any of the races I vote in, and didn't field candidates in 2 of them. (US House, state senate) But when the media report the national popular vote for Congress, my vote will be part of it.

I don't agree with this. Even though Elon Musk received over $38,000,000,000 in corporate welfare from the federal government, he should still be allowed to vote. Once. What he should *not* be allowed to do is to interfere with *our* votes.

The last words that Amy Acton’s mom heard from her daughter were in 1978, at the age of 12, when Amy testified to a grand jury that her stepfather raped her and her mother didn’t protect her. Those are the words she wants the world to believe are lies. The grand jury believed Amy, not the mother.

Once mass spam texts were made legal, younger donors vanished, leaving a grassroots fundraising machine that subsists on squeezing vulnerable seniors, some of whom give hundreds of times a day. It’s a horrific model. Consultants get generationally wealthy, and the party hollows out its future.

We found that as of right now 73% of your campaign donation goes back to the consultants and vendors (!!!), four times more than just 20 years ago. Only 13% to ads. Even I was shocked.

Peter Thiel has — privately, not publicly — broken with Trump on the Iran war. "I think we should not have done it." "There were a lot of mistakes that were made."
