On December 31, 2020, US Rep. Jamie Raskin announced that his 25-year-old son Tommy, a second-year student at Harvard Law School, had died.
Four days later, Raskin posted a tribute that revealed, after a prolonged battle with depression, Tommy had died by suicide.
In a farewell note, the 25-year-old said, "Please forgive me. My illness won today. Look after each other, the animals, and the global poor. All my love, Tommy."
Tommy was buried on January 5, 2021.
The next day, Raskin was in the Capitol with his daughter and son-in-law during the Capitol attack.
Hours later, he started drafting an article of impeachment against Trump, and six days later, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi named Raskin the lead manager of Trump's second impeachment.
Today, Raskin is still one of the loudest critics of the current president, one of the most progressive leaders in Congress, and one of the strongest people — period.
Our current president bullies him on social media weekly.
On August 30, 2015, @MotherJones published an article about Trump Modeling Management, which was Trump's modeling agency for underage girls that was active from 1999-2017.
Trump Model Management built a systematic machine of exploitation: luring aspiring models from around the world with false promises of stardom, then trapping them in a web of abuse. Girls as young as 14 were placed on tourist visas and told to lie to customs, packed into overpriced bunk-bed apartments, buried under fees that stole up to 80% of their earnings, and left broke despite promised six-figure contracts. This wasn't a few bad deals — it was the business model. One model described it as modern-day slavery.
I would say this business is a blueprint for the Tate Brothers' business of owning and exploiting underage girls by trafficking them in the porn industry. Both Trump and the Tates are basically doing the same thing, luring women, trapping them in a foreign country, and sexually exploiting them mercilessly under false pretenses while robbing them for all they're worth.

This is Sad!
For almost 30 years, leaders from both parties have set politics aside to honor the women veterans who gave their lives for this country at Arlington National Cemetery.
Then Trump and Hegseth shut it down.
Why? Because the ceremony recognized women.
This is an insult to every woman who wore the uniform, served with courage, and sacrificed for this nation.
Yesterday, @demwomencaucus stood with the women veterans Trump and Hegseth tried to erase and held an event anyway.
We see you. We honor you. We thank you. 🇺🇸
JARED KUSHNER JUST BUILT THE EXACT LIST OF THINGS HE WILL LOSE IF ALBANIA'S PROTESTS DON'T STOP
Not vague threats. Not "we'll reconsider." NAMED ASSETS. SPECIFIC LOCATIONS. Project by project.
🇦🇱 Sazan Island — $1,400,000,000–$1,600,000,000 luxury resort on a former communist military base → now surrounded by 11 days of mass protests
🇦🇱 Zvërnec coastal plots — ecologically protected wetlands tied to Ivanka Trump → endangered flamingos, monk seals, and a protest movement named after them (#FlamingoRevolution)
🇦🇱 Tirana streets — largest demonstration yet recorded on Day 11, June 10, 2026 → thousands marching, police clashes, banners reading "Edi Rama resign"
🇦🇱 Albanian PM Edi Rama's political cover — his quote: "There is no chance for this investment to stop as long as I am here" → now facing active resignation demands
🇦🇱 Albania's EU accession timeline — Brussels issued a formal warning on June 9, 2026 to "act without delay" → refrain from actions undermining EU candidacy due to environmental violations
🇦🇱 Bilateral U.S.-Albania optics — a Kushner-linked $1.5B deal on protected Adriatic coast → now generating international media scrutiny during Trump's second term
🇦🇱 Project construction timeline — barbed wire went up in spring 2026 → triggered the backlash that is now 11 days old and growing
🇦🇱 Affinity Partners' foreign-deal credibility — Kushner's firm is the lead investor → every day of protests adds to the public record attached to this project
🇦🇱 The deal itself — PM Rama offered protesters "discussions on solutions" → they rejected it
🇦🇱 The broader investment climate — one $1.5B project on ecologically sensitive land + EU warning + 11 days of mass protests = measurable risk to Albania's investment story
💀 11 days of sustained demonstrations
💀 EU formal warning issued to Albanian government
💀 Largest single protest recorded on Day 11
💀 ZERO signs of the government reversing course
Every asset on this list sits inside a country that is now one escalation away from a genuine political crisis.
Kushner's 11-day standoff is still running. These are the stakes at DAY 11.

Tonight the NY Times confirmed what we already suspected
Trump is a pedophile
And his administration is covering up his crimes
The midterms can't come fast enough
BOMBSHELL: For the first time, we now know that Vice President Vance has been deeply involved in Epstein strategy and this White House cover-up.
He and top Admin officials have been using the situation room to meet. It’s time to talk to the VP.
This is Trump’s Watergate.
Today, the @nytimes released a truly stunning report on the Epstein cover-up by the White House.
Collusion, breaking the law, evading subpoenas—it’s all in there:
- Trump quashing the files
- The VP, COS, DOJ, FBI, and others colluding in the Situation Room to stop their release and compliance
- Officials lying to the public
- Admin in-fighting and exits
- Officials who appeared in front of Congress during this time

Your daily reminder this should be the biggest scandal in American politics right now but nobody seems to care. Ken Paxton freed a man who raped a boy for 3 years.
He also doesnt have to register as a sex offender.

That's a great observation.
The right's screaming outrage about DEI is not about qualifications, it's really all about racism
And this is proof positive right here.

🚨CAUGHT ON TAPE: Mike Johnson PANICS after a recorded conversation is released exposing the House Republican plan to CUT Medicaid, Medicare, AND social security for millions of Americans.
They denied it. The recording just blew up the entire lie. EVERY American should see this.
