If Democrats retake the majority in the Senate and I become chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, one of my first acts will be to subpoena the bankers that helped Epstein carry out his crimes and help deliver real accountability.
Phang: "Capital One said, 'We don't want the business anymore of the 45th president of the United States, his businesses, his failed sons, and his revocable trust.' So you can imagine -- I am just hypothesizing... but it suggests whatever Capital One uncovered was pretty bad. Makes you wonder..."

The issue isn’t “trust” at all, it’s media consolidation that allows a small number of wealthy oligarchs to manipulate the entire country’s politics to their benefit and to the detriment of everyone else

Gerrymandering lets politicians choose their voters instead of the other way around. Until we end that, it will remain difficult to achieve the things most Americans already agree on.
Prisciliano Trejo Ricano begged for a doctor for a week while he coughed up blood. Nobody came. He slipped into a coma… so ICE “released” him and said he’s not their problem. He died July 24. That’s not policy. That’s a body dump with paperwork. F*ck ICE. F*ck Trump.
The president told us to drink bleach…. but Fauci is the villain. Sure.

7. Compounding the perversion is why. Why do the Republicans keep trying to shame Dr. Fauci? Because the real shame belongs to Donald Trump – and always will.
The GOP is desperately trying to rewrite history, but just a reminder that Donald Trump was president during the lockdowns, and he awarded Fauci a presidential commendation for his work on COVID. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
This is Ender. He pressed the belly rub button and assumed the position. Now it's time for your end of the deal. 12/10 (TT: enderthehavanes)

President Barack Obama has endorsed US Senate-IA candidate Josh Turek. Obama: "I know a little something about winning Iowa. Of all the things I did in politics, Iowa was my favorite thing." Watch them play basketball together! What a winning team! Don't sit by when you can join in and score!

Murshed Zaheed@murshedz.bsky.social · 7d ago“Trump has rejected disaster aid for Democratic-run states at the highest rate in the 47-year history of the Federal Emergency Management Agency.” Right now people in blue states are basically paying federal taxes as if they’re colonized territories of red states. www.politico.com/news/2026/03...
Talarico: When I get tough questions, I answer them. When Ken Paxton gets tough questions, he runs away, literally runs away from reporters, from voters, from anyone asking hard questions. If you've given an Epstein style sweetheart deal to a child predator, you should have to answer questions.
A woman’s Global Entry was revoked days after she legally observed ICE agents. ICE agents showed up to a polling place to demand a worker remove an anti-ICE post. A man was sentenced to 30 years in prison for moving a box of left-wing magazines. Trump’s crackdown on dissent is here. Be warned.
