Statement from Patrick Rodenbush, spokesman for President Obama: “Out of respect for the office of the presidency, our office does not normally dignify the constant nonsense and misinformation flowing out of this White House with a response. But these claims are outrageous…
The @Article3Project is now the latest MAGA voice to attack Trump's base for caring about his broken promise to release the Epstein files. At the same time, they're trying to jam Emil Bove through the @SenateGOP before they can know if he's involved in the4 Epstein cover-up.
To those on X screaming at Trump’s DOJ team to: “Do something!” Here’s my response: STFU. Crucial reforms have happened every day. For 6 months. More so than any time in our history. Get off your asses and do something yourselves. They are in the fight. Every day. You?
Tariffs cost GM $1.1 billion in Q2. Stellantis paid $350m in tariffs. How can American automakers afford to invest, hire and grow when they are losing billions to tariffs @StephenM?
REPORTER: GM says tariffs will cost the company between $4 and $5 billion. Ford says they can't commit to not raising prices. Is this administration open to doing more to give automakers relief? STEPHEN MILLER: The question unfortunately misses the entire point.
Bad news for @winwithwinsome and @Jack4NJ. New @ppppolls from @DemGovs show majorities in VA and NJ disapprove of them backing Trump's "Big, Beautiful" bill and its health care cuts. Meanwhile, @SpanbergerForVA & @MikieSherrill are running on affordability.
🚨🚨🚨DOJ published the July 6th memo on Epstein saying there was nothing to see here without talking to Maxwell, by their own admission here. Really thorough investigation there!
Statement from @DAGToddBlanche: This Department of Justice does not shy away from uncomfortable truths, nor from the responsibility to pursue justice wherever the facts may lead. The joint statement by the DOJ and FBI of July 6 remains as accurate today as it was when it was…
"Introducing 14-year-old Doe to Donald J. Trump, Epstein elbowed Trump playfully asking him, referring to Doe, 'This is a good one, right?' Trump smiled and nodded in agreement. They both chuckled and Doe felt uncomfortable, but, at the time, was too young to understand why."
“‘Every day is another wonderful secret,’” Jon Stewart said, quoting from the alleged Trump-Epstein letter. “I f---ing threw up in my own mouth on that one.” trib.al/SKGhwOl
