James Talarico, the Democratic candidate for Senate in Texas, accused his rival Ken Paxton of “ignoring” survivors of Jeffrey Epstein’s sexual abuse, as Democrats seek to increase pressure on Republicans ahead of November’s midterm elections.
Speaking in Dallas, where Republicans are holding a midterm convention this week, Talarico appeared alongside one of Epstein’s victims at an exhibit that featured about 3.5m pages of Department of Justice’s files related to Epstein.
“When did pedophilia become a partisan issue? When did holding sexual abusers accountable become controversial?” Talarico said.

Makes you wonder if the $5k promise and $500 Obamacare refund/bribe is a desperation move to keep the legislation from having full access to the files and releasing them.
Trump is oddly desperate for these midterms. The president’s party nearly always loses the midterms, but Trump has been going hard for a while.
He is getting desperate. If he loses Congress he’s fucked as they start looking into all his shit and that means everything from the tariffs, Epstein Files, his family’s dealings, war in Iran and so on. Even if the Democrats don’t get enough power to get majorities they can still get enough power to shine a light on all his dirty diapers. And honestly I think there is so much they did we have no idea off.
I personally am very excited to finally get rid of Mike Johnson, the man that’s third in line to be President but who has no idea of anything happening. Hope he sleeps well under the rock he calls a house.
you say dirty diapers, and i suspect he literally wears diapers and shits in them.
He absolutely does. Most dementia patients have to.
Trump committed political suicide by attacking Iran and starting an un winnable war. Now he can’t get out of it without a ground invasion. That means the US needs a draft to obtain enough troops to deploy upon Iranian soil.
He needs a majority in the House and Senate to pull that off and even if he steals the election, he’s likely to face even more pressure if he attempts it. And this guy faces an attempt on his life every few months. He’d be turning the whole country against him overnight.
I think the war in Iran is the least of the mistakes he’s made. The economy is in worse shape directly due to his decisions. In US politics, that’s everything.
Sure? I know the trade war has done quite a bit of damage, but the Iran war is an economic domino that’s barely just begun knocking things over.
I think that is only additive to what he’s already done to the economy with tariffs. I have talked with republicans who have implied the were willing to give Trump the benefit of the doubt on Iran acquiring nuclear weapons.
The war with Iran is a significant factor in the poor state of the economy though
**False attempts on his life fify
Does that include the time he hid inside the catering cart because Iran had a target on him?
Iran should have done bettef, coukd have been hero’s to the world LMAO
*ftfy
Nah. A ground invasion would be a nightmare. He only did the Iran thing because Israel forced him to in the first place. Invading Iran would be totally fucked, it’s not Iraq, it’s bigger, it’s got mountains, they’ve been digging in since their revolution always under the gun of the imperials. Huge mistake and prez knows it I bet. He would only do it if Israel forced him too with their blackmail.
Operation Epstein’s fury is a forever war as Israel wants to keep it going for domestic political reasons, and ideological nazi ones.
It’s not odd. If they control Congress they can choose the next president, not to mention rule without checks and shovel money to themselves. They are going for broke, the US being the broke one in this term.
Paxton just made it into propublica again too, didn’t read it yet.
