To everyone so eager to cancel someone for a tattoo they got at age 22, a drunk text, a selfie they took in the middle of a mental health crisis:
Show us your laptop.
Show us your iCloud.
Open your entire digital life to your worst enemy. No context. No filter. No explanation.
You won’t.
You won’t because you know what I know. Any one of us, frozen at our worst moment, photographed in our lowest hour, looks like a monster. Looks like a stranger. Looks like someone who deserves to be cast out.
That is not who we are.
My mom and baby sister were killed in a car accident when I was just a kid. Cancer took my brother Beau, my best friend and my rock. I battled alcoholism. I battled addiction. I chose the coward’s way out more times than I can count.
For years I believed the defining chapters of my life were written by tragedy, loss, and shame.
I no longer believe that.
Pain can shape us. Loss can humble us. Failures can leave scars that never fully fade. But none of them have the authority to define us.
And it sure as hell ain’t the critic that counts.
That authority belongs to us alone-the person in the arena.
Every setback presents a choice. Play the victim, or cut the bullshit and take ownership for who we become next.
Life does not determine our character. It reveals it.
Again and again we are asked the same question. When shit happens, what next?
We are not defined by what happened to us. We are not defined by the worst photo, the worst text, the worst tattoo, the worst night. We are defined by the person we choose to become. And by the courage to choose that person, every single day.
So before you reach for the gavel - show us your laptop.
You won’t.
The whole world saw mine. And I am still here. Still becoming. Still choosing. Still standing.
That is the only definition that matters.
Can’t stop thinking about how Wall Street is celebrating Elon Musk becoming the world’s first trillionaire, while he single handedly eliminated humanitarian aid that will lead to the needless deaths of 4.5 million of the poorest children in the world in the next 4 years.
If Bernie's 5% annual wealth tax on billionaires had been enacted in 2012, Elon Musk would be worth less than $365 billion instead of the $1.2 trillion that he's worth today.
Elon would still be the wealthiest man alive & every family in America would have universal childcare.
Today, Elon Musk, a trillionaire, pays the same amount into Social Security as someone making $184,500.
If we end that absurdity and lift the cap on taxable income, we can make Social Security solvent for 75 years and expand benefits by $2,400. My Social Security bill does that.
If your bank forced you to legally put a certain amount of your paycheck every payday for 30 years into a savings account for your "retirement," didn't give you interest, then when you were getting ready to retire, said "we're only going to give you 70% of your money back, because we can't afford to pay you the full amount."
Would you accept that?
Vote every Republican out.
Why would Todd Blanche (in private law practice at the time) be copied in on confidential Epstein emails right after Epstein arrested in 2019? Now we know why Trump hired him as private attorney.
Some thoughts on the new Epstein Files revelations:
I’ve now read everything that’s come out from the new Haberman and Swan book, and the thing I keep coming back to is the Situation Room. They held multiple meetings in the Situation Room about the Epstein files. That room is for war. It’s for national security emergencies. It is not for figuring out how to spin a scandal you’re telling the country is a hoax.
While the President was deflecting or calling this old news, his own Vice President and Chief of Staff were huddled in the most leak-proof room in America because they knew how bad it really was.
You don’t take a nothingburger to the Situation Room.
And I have to be honest, reading all this brings back a lot of frustration about what happened in the House of Representatives. I sat there and watched Mike Johnson send the House home early to dodge a vote on releasing these files. I watched him refuse to swear in a duly elected colleague for months just to stall the discharge petition. Month after month of excuses, arm twisting, and procedural games, all to keep this information from the public. We only got the files because survivors, families, and a handful of members in both parties simply refused to let it go.
So when people ask me why I talk so much about transparency and accountability, this is why. The truth eventually comes out. It always does.
The only question is whether your leaders helped reveal it or helped bury it.
Everyone who voted to keep these files hidden should have to answer for that.
Finally, notice what’s missing from all of this is any sign that Trump’s DOJ will actually investigate the powerful men named in these files.
Draw your own conclusions about why a Justice Department run by the President’s former defense lawyers might not be eager to pull that thread.
Dear @DAGToddBlanche: You will be disbarred. You will be investigated next year. And if the facts warrant it, you will be prosecuted by the next Administration.
November is coming.
AOC on Medicare Advantage: In theory, agents and brokers work with everyday people enrolling in a plan and are there to help them pick the best plan for their health, right?
That’s how it’s supposed to be set up.
What gets complicated is that agents and brokers are paid by health insurers for enrolling individuals in specific plans.
And so you’re supposed to have agents and brokers talking to your mom or your grandparent, saying, “We’d like to enroll you. We think this plan is what’s best for you.”
But what that person doesn’t know is that UnitedHealthcare is saying, “We’ll give you a vacation if you enroll people in our plan,” or, “We’ll give you a couple of extra hundred dollars if you enroll someone in a Blue Cross Blue Shield plan, a United plan, or any number of other plans.”
And in your testimony, you stated that agents and brokers received $10 billion in this kind of compensation in 2022 alone, right?
That’s $10 billion in taxpayer money. A lot of it is being funneled through these corporations. And so that is money that is not going to care. It’s going to perks, trips to Boca, and financial incentives for brokers to enroll people out of traditional Medicare and into for-profit Medicare Advantage plans.
BREAKING: We're suing the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service over their plan to give away 715 acres of a public wildlife refuge to billionaire corporation Space X.
Americans shouldn't be sacrificing their public lands to subsidize a company owned by the richest man in the world.
🚨‼️ Breaking News in Epstein Case‼️ 🚨
Comer has agreed Todd Blanche must appear in @OversightDems . With explosive reporting from @nytimes on the White House coverup and multiple Situation Room meetings — this is looking more like a Watergate-style coverup every day.
Meanwhile we’ve got Bill Gates in front of Committee today answering why rich and powerful men like himself continued to hang out with Epstein even after he was convicted of sexual crimes. Regardless of party, power, or wealth—we are following every lead!
Let me tell you something I was in court with Jeffrey Epstein and shot the SDNY press conference when he was arrested. Lesley Groff is lying. Epstein needed THREE FRESH GIRLS A DAY. There were 1700 photographs of underage kids on the walls confiscated by the FBI. He also showed off his massage tables with sex toys to EVERYONE.
You couldn't be around him without knowing he was a monster
Roy Cohn taught Donald Trump three rules:
1. Never admit when you're wrong
2. Never concede defeat when you lose
3. Attack anyone who attacks you even when you're wrong.
50 years later - in 2026 America - we are living under the insanity and tyranny of those three rules.
🚨BREAKING: Epstein file says Trump knew about underage sex parties occurring at his golf course and that revenue from the club was used to fund them.
Trump has known for days this was about to be published in his home state of Florida.

😱😱😱 And just like that, it’s completely VANISHED from the media.
A sitting congressman, Ted Lieu, said on the record the Epstein files are being blocked because they show Trump raped and threatened to kill children.
Lets make this viral again 👇
