How many conservative legislators' and justices' names will we see in the Epstein files when they're finally released? A lot, I bet. Maybe all. That's high-value extortion data, for anyone so inclined. If I was a (prediction market) betting woman, I'd put a grand on Mike Johnson, maybe more.

If you live in a blue or purple state, compare how much more you're paying with how much more people in red states are paying. Then ask yourself how that happened. Collusion with oligarchs to keep prices down in red states? People in red states didn't have much to spend due to red-state laws?

This is the primary reason I have stopped engaging with the medical industry almost entirely. The last provider I saw wanted to do a pap smear. The gynecologist (director of OB/GYN at a major university) who removed my parts told me, "You never have to see me again." How is that NOT fraud?

Epstein ran a global child sex trafficking operation. What was the goal of that operation? To entrap wealthy men for the purpose of installing them into government positions, once they had enough names to fill entire governments? Then extort them with their own sins?

Has anyone else noticed that Amazon changed the smile in its logo from blue to red? I wonder if Trump ordered Bezos to do that to maintain government subsidies. I only use Amazon when I get gift cards. This happened sometime since Christmas. Oligarchs reign ... as long as they bribe Trump.
Conservatives want to stop women from reporting rape. They have no interest in stopping rape or supporting people who get raped. I was so afraid to speak about genitals that I couldn't tell my parents what happened to me. I'd be punished for "allowing" it. They want women to fear reporting.

Yes, we need to fix agricultural visas. If we don't, prices will skyrocket unless they're planning to used forced labor from detention centers. If we fix agriculture by putting it back into communities where it belongs, the entire country, including immigrants, would benefit in countless ways.
Greg Sargent@gregsargent.bsky.social · 2d agoWhat triggered MAGA was Markwayne Mullin saying we should fix agricultural visas.

I'm not so sure the Fauci hearing was a distraction. I think it's a strategy: Blame Fauci for COVID before violent MAGA voters learn that, on advice from Donald Trump, they volunteered for an autoimmune disorder that scientists have started comparing to HIV/AIDS.

I hope the judge releases them publicly without prior warning to Blanche or any of them. The DOJ blatantly defied a court order to do so. They should not be afforded the opportunity to make up more lies and spread more propaganda before the public sees those records.
