Former Congresswoman @marienewman.bsky.social writes about the bizarre lack of an HR dept. to oversee hiring, salary ranges, abusive relationships, etc., in the House of Representatives. Each Rep is the sole boss of their staff, nowhere else to turn. Good read.

It’s not about drugs. If it was, Trump wouldn’t have pardoned one of the largest narco traffickers in the world last month.
It’s about oil and regime change.
And they need a trial now to pretend that it isn’t. Especially to distract from his sinking under Epstein and skyrocketing healthcare costs.

Let's get one thing clear: the reason Democrats want to release the Epstein Files is because we believe in protecting victims, not abusers.
I don't give a damn who's in those files: whether they're Democrats or Republicans, they must be brought to justice.
Release ALL the files & release them NOW.

President Trump's unilateral decision to strike Iran is blatantly unconstitutional.
There's a reason why the Founders only gave Congress the power to declare war. The American people deserve a say in whether or not their children get sent into another foreign war.
