Any AUSAs who agree to take on this case, any AUSAs who oversee them, and any USA/DAG who chooses to lead them should never find employment as lawyers again.
(Except obv the oligarchs will find sinecures for some--but not all--of them. Accountability and billionaires are too often incompatible.)

Your government refusing to prosecute sexual predators, but protect them instead, only makes sense when you realize your government is being run by sexual predators.
Look at this chart.
Tax cuts for the rich are a policy choice. Cutting the social safety net in exchange for them is a policy choice.
States like New York have an opportunity to help undo this trickle down nonsense by raising taxes on the rich (who will still be rich).
I hope Gov. Hochul does.
Daily Reminder: Release th Epstein Files👇🏻
If Republicans hate the CA and VA redistricting, they can thank the person responsible - Donald J. Trump.
None of it would’ve been possible without his leadership on this issue.

Indictment of @splcenter.org is based on clear false narrative.
False: DOJ and Kash Patel's claim that SPLC supported white supremacist groups via paying informants.
Reality:
“We frequently shared what we learned from informants with local and federal law enforcement, including the FBI."
3. The indictment doesn’t mention that SPLC provided intelligence from its informant program to law enforcement/FBI to dismantle extremist groups.
But that fact, which will surely come out in discovery, undermines the entire premise the DOJ/FBI case.
