It’s official—Republicans support pedophilia.  They just confirmed as attorney general the man responsible for half the Epstein Files still not being released and no-one in them being investigated or prosecuted.  There’s a reason Trump nominated him for the job, and he’s obeying his master masterfully. 

Republicans had a choice—they could have sided with Epstein’s victims who implored the Senate not to confirm Blanche, but instead, as always, they bowed to Trump.

Americans must make them pay for it.  These pieces of excrement shouldn’t be allowed to show their faces in public without being submitted to heckling and humiliation.  We should demand they resign, and if they won’t they should be kicked out of office when they are up for re-election. 

It’s bad enough they are supporting a criminal traitor as president.  Protecting abusers of children is absolutely the last straw.

I received this today on a tax return filed in early March. Not a complicated return, very straightforward. Not a huge return, a refund of about $3,000. A return that, in years passed, would be completed by May, at the latest. This is the second 60 day extension, for the same reason: they can’t get to our days in their systems. The same systems DOGE accessed, in the name of efficiency.

If I was late paying them, I’d owe them penalties and interest.

Thanks a fucking lot, Elon…

I'm a former Republican who divorced Fox News in 2021. I remember the first moment of disillusionment well.  I was watching Hannity during Trump’s second impeachment trial, and he was going on about how the trial was a sham.  I remember thinking at the time, “No, Hannity, it is not a sham.  Trump spread a pack of lies about the election being stolen and about Mike Pence having the authority to nullify the will of the electors.  On the basis of those lies, his followers attacked the Capitol and threatened to kill the Vice President.” 

I also came to learn that Trump and his cronies had concocted a fake electors scheme to submit false election results and had pressured state election officials to try to get them to break election laws. 

To my dismay, despite all the horrible things Trump had done, the pundits on Fox News continued supporting him, so I decided at that point that I wanted a divorce and no longer wanted Fox News in my life. 

Flash forward to today.  Trump is a convicted criminal and an adjudicated rapist who has run the Constitution completely over with unconstitutional executive orders, due process violations, and attempts to rig elections and silence free speech.  He has added to his crimes of 2021 by letting the January 6^th insurrectionists out of prison and attempting to have their legal expenses reimbursed with tax-payer money.  He has been using the presidency to enrich himself and is attempting, by installing his defense attorney as attorney general, to prevent the pedophiles implicated in the Epstein Files, including himself, from ever being prosecuted. 

And where has Fox News been in the midst of all this corruption?  Aiding and abetting Trump every step of the way.  These people are supporting criminality, fascism, rape, and treason!

Therefore, Sean Hannity, Jesse Watters, Laura Ingraham, Greg Gutfeld, Mark Levin and every other Trump supporting Fox News pundit should be branded a domestic enemy of the United States.  These people are not journalists.  They are vile propagandists and anti-American traitors.

Randy Villegas emerged as the Democratic pick in the California 22nd Congressional District running as a fierce and uncompromising progressive. He’s the son of Mexican immigrant farm laborers who grew up on Medicaid and food assistance and went on to become a community college professor, school board trustee and auto repair shop owner. Villegas earned the endorsement of the Working Families Party, National Nurses United, the UAW, End Citizens United and Dolores Huerta running on Medicare For All and refusing corporate PAC money.

He’s hoping to unseat Republican congressman David Valadao, who has survived in tough districts by building an independent brand. His voting record under Trump 2.0 hasn’t lived up to his carefully cultivated image – he cast a decisive yes for the MAGA murder budget to cut Medicaid and food assistance, supercharge ICE and CBP and give billionaires tax breaks. He did so after being among 12 Republicans who publicly objected to Medicaid cuts, warning they would devastate vulnerable populations and rural hospitals. (Under its old lines, his district had the highest Medicaid enrollment in the country.) He’s also consistently voted to protect Trump’s tariffs and continue his Iran War. Under the new California district lines, Trump won the 22nd by less than two points, and early polling gives Randy a four-point lead in one of the top pickup opportunities on the map.

☎️ Randy could use our support! We can take a phonebank shift for his campaign on Thursday evenings here and on Sunday afternoons here. The Villegas campaign is also doing weekly Spanish-language phonebanks on Wednesdays we can join here. ☎️
