How scared do you think Trump should be of today's news that Ghislaine Maxwell was arrested, in connection with Jeffrey Epstein's sex trafficking ring? pic.twitter.com/Z78Nws87ax

SDNY just announced the Ghislaine Maxwell case – like the original Epstein case – is staffed by the Public Corruption Unit.
I worked at SDNY and did sex trafficking cases. They do NOT run out of Public Corruption – unless there is some potential angle against a public official.

Since Epstein is trending again given Ghislaine Maxwell's arrest, I want to remind you that both Trump and Clinton were closely related to Epstein. This isn't a Republican issue or a Democrat issue, it's a ruling class issue. It's one big disgusting club and you're not in it.

"Donald Trump is today feeling the most acute political pain of his presidency, as the price of opting for a strategy that amounts to being AWOL, with a touch of flame-fanning, on the trio of crises confronting his White House" – @NicolleDWallace pic.twitter.com/BCIhPmGIk8

50,000 cases per day.
Only 30 counties in the world have had that many cases.
We are the worst hit country in the world with the virus now spiking with a vengeance. 25% of worldwide cases and dearhs, for 4% of the population.
Trump lying. GOP enabling this death march.
