Live life, love life, and thank God every day of your life

No matter how long I live after we get through this dark chapter, I will never get over the immorality, the amorality, the corruption, the criminality and the cruelty in service to one of the worst humans to ever walk the earth.

Americans are relearning the lesson we learned during the Gilded Age of the late 1890s, when robber barons ran the government and the economy for their own benefit: Oligarchy is incompatible with the common good. I'm hopeful we'll respond with a new progressive movement.

People in Alpine, TX can’t access water. Not because there isn’t enough, but because DC politicians have failed them. There's always money for bombs, bailouts, and billionaire tax breaks — but never enough money to fix basic infrastructure.

I’m in Paris to investigate the scope of Epstein’s international sex trafficking ring and how it intersected with the world of modeling; to reveal who was a part of this dark world; and to see if the French judicial system is the key to real accountability.

In France authorities are looking at Jean Luc Brunel & Gérald Marie, two men associated with Epstein who also ran major modeling agencies & have been accused by several women of trafficking and rape. I report from Paris on new victims that may bring long-awaited justice. youtu.be/q-C1-_rM1Ao?...

Everyone is focused on trump relitigating 2020. That's the distraction. The real target is Nov. 2026. He needs a fraud narrative already baked in before midterms so he can justify whatever comes next when MAGA loses seats. Pay attention to what he's building, not what he's pretending to remember.

Yes, Trump can’t get over the fact that he lost in 2020, but the other part of his election denial crusade is creating a pretext to meddle in the upcoming 2026 midterm elections. The upcoming Big Lie presser is meant to justify further interference because Trump/ MAGA are desperate to stay in power.

The reason why ICE agents continue to shoot people is because nothing ever happens to them when they do. They essentially have been granted full immunity for whatever they choose to do to people by a lawless regime of thugs.

Marco Rubio: "Let me explain this in simple English: Iran is run by lunatics, religious fanatic lunatics.” That statement would have so much more gravitas if Rubio's own country wasn't also run by religious fanatic lunatics.

Democrats need to stop panicking and pointing fingers at each other and start attacking the GOP for allowing Trump to use America like one big ATM for his corrupt family and billionaire buddies. This is simple.
