I am shocked that some of my former Republican colleagues on the Oversight Committee are supporting pardoning Ghislaine Maxwell.
The Epstein survivors are adamantly against her receiving a pardon as she was one of their main abusers next to Jeffrey Epstein and they say she is a serial liar.
If Trump gives her a pardon, it sets up a very potential quid pro quo. She will owe Trump and she will lie to protect people he ask her to.
Instead the DOJ and local prosecutors with jurisdiction should be prosecuting the rich powerful elites who raped and trafficked these brave survivors when they were just teenagers and young vulnerable women.
Why is this so complicated???
Amazon, which saved $4B in taxes under Trump's Big Ugly Bill, has cut 30,000 jobs since last October.
Verizon, which saved $2B, plans to cut 15,000 jobs this year.
Meta, which saved $3B, plans to lay off 20% or more of its workforce.
Trickle-down economics is a cruel joke.
Israel killed 3 Indonesian UN peacekeepers in South Lebanon.
They were wearing blue helmets and UN uniforms.
They were peacekeepers.
Israel bombed them anyway.
Not a peep in Western media.
Not a word from the international community.
So begins the largest veteran and military family act of civil disobedience since the Iraq war began, occupying the Cannon building Rotunda - protesting yet another forever war with Iran which includes the genocide in Palestine, the ethnic cleansing in southern Lebanon, and the potential ground operation in Cuba. Whatever violence we do overseas always comes back home and every war fought by this government is a war on the working class, which is you… we’re here until arrest or speaker Mike Johnson come out to answer for the dead and meet our demands.
If you’re an active duty service member and do not wish to join the 5th US generation fighting in a senseless self-destructive war, immoral war for the rich, we will stand with you, there is a way out. Info below:

$580,000,000 in oil futures moved 16 minutes before Trump announced a pause in Iran strikes.
Not after. Before.
The BBC just documented five separate instances of massive, suspiciously timed trades preceding Trump’s biggest market-moving announcements — oil futures, the tariff pause, Maduro’s capture, Iran ceasefire bets.
The platforms where anonymous accounts cashed in? Polymarket and Kalshi. Donald Trump Jr. sits on Polymarket’s advisory board and is a strategic advisor to Kalshi.
There’s even a law against this. The STOCK Act (2012) explicitly covers executive branch officials. Zero prosecutions in 14 years.
Oh, and the DOJ unit created after Watergate to prosecute exactly this kind of corruption? Trump cut it from 36 lawyers to 2 and stripped its authority to file new cases.
Trump has denied Wisconsin disaster aid after the 1,000-year-flood that devastated multiple counties last August and has not approve assistance for this spring's storm damage.
The Republicans in Congress to represent Wisconsin have done nothing to help.

BREAKING: About 120 U.S. military veterans were arrested inside the Cannon House Office Building today protesting Trump's war on Iran.
Some were on crutches. Some were in wheelchairs. Some carried the burial flags of fallen soldiers.
They are members of About Face — veterans who know what war costs because they have already paid for one.
Capitol Police handcuffed disabled veterans and dragged them out of the rotunda.
53% of American voters oppose the war. 74% oppose ground troops. 61% disapprove of Trump's handling of it.
The people who fought America's last wars are now being arrested for trying to stop the next one.
Never stop connecting the dots.
Tucker Carlson exposes a sickening text exchange. When Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene revealed her son was receiving death threats over the Epstein files, Donald Trump coldly replied that the child deserved it. The moral decay inside the White House is horrifying.
TUCKER CARLSON: “I’ll be tormented for a long time by the fact that I played a role in getting Donald Trump elected. And I want to say that I’m sorry for misleading people.”
This is a very humble and honest statement. Big respect to Tucker.
Imagine if Biden had just lost a war after he promised no wars and then was living it up at a UFC event while negotiations failed. I’m sick of the double standards.

@HillaryClinton warned us:
“This is not someone who should ever have the nuclear codes – because it’s not hard to imagine Donald Trump leading us into a war just because somebody got under his very thin skin.”
