To win, Democrats must welcome a big tent of voters. "That means welcoming people in. That means making the coalition as wide as possible. That means talking to voters who didnโ€™t vote Democratic last time, or the time before that, rather than assuming theyโ€™re permanent losses. Every percentage point of increased turnout in a gerrymandered district is a direct counter to the map.

A pro-democracy coalition is not a niche coalition. It is, by definition, a majoritarian one. The maps want Democrats to fight in a smaller box. The answer is to refuse to fight in the box at all."

Republican fraud is the obstacle.

Corporate Dems need to look at what happened to Starmer's Labour Party in the latest election. They got hammered because everyone hates them. The reason that Democrats have such a low rating in the polls is that everyone hates Corporate Centrist Democrats. Will they ever realize that everyone hates them?

Republicans own the mediaโ€ฆ. THE POLLS LIE!

Youโ€™re wrong and you really donโ€™t know anything about the Democratic Party. Democrats actually win honest elections. They have millions and millions of loyal supporters because they are decent human beings who care about this country. Republicans win because they own the vast majority of voting machines and they cheat like rabid dogs. Try to UNITE and take back this country. Voting as usual wonโ€™t work. Knocking Democrats is a waste of time unless you are on Trumpโ€™s payroll.

The Department of Injustice and the Gang Obliging Pedophilia are corrupt to the core. The USA has fallen down a deep dark hole. The Pedo-in-chief has destroyed the country and it will take decades to repair. It's disgusting and terrifying to watch. ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฆ

Epstein was just as narcissistic, egomaniacal, and self-absorbed as Trump. I can't picture either of them voluntarily depriving the world of their presence!

I had a son who went to prison. He said that pedophiles and rapist would be in PC (protective custody) because they are hated by ever other prisoners. They are targeted by those who hate pedophiles and rapist which is every other offense.

As of April 2026, Epstein survivor Lisa Phillips is leading a fight for accountability in London, meeting with UK officials to demand a full public inquiry into how Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell operated a global sex trafficking network. May have to work backwards for this legal process to work.

All the minorities who voted for Trump are now turning on him because he lied in his promises.

I so enjoy listening to you both.

Thank you for speaking the truth.

If feeling and/or being threatened by a cell mate does not get one moved and being suicidal does, it makes sense to act or be suicidal to not be with that cell mate.

I agree. The whole way we incarcerate people is completely messed up, though someone must be benefiting from the mess up.

Shaped like an upside triangle! Lol

Isn't that what they call withholding evidence? But then I suppose there was no real investigation?

You donโ€™t seem to realize that the priorities for protection on the fbi Epstein files are the BLACKMAILED individuals! Those are who the fbi has blacked out. These officials donโ€™t care about the powerless young women/girls.

They know theyโ€™re not the heroes. They revel in their knowledge that they can do anything they want to us and show us for the bumpkins that we are.

love Ellie! Don't you ever let anybody disparage you or suggest that you are not a real journalist!

Commit suicide is outdated terminology. Consider using died by suicide or attempted suicide.
