I am starting a music thread that I will occasionally update with my musical musings. I may even try to pull in some of my previous music tweets, but that seems like too much work.
This is a tell. The plan is to get Ghislaine to tay that Trump never had anything to do with Epstein while all kinds of Democrats did in return for getting a pardon from Trump. This is completely 100% obvious. Why aren't more people saying this is the plan?
Yesterday, I was surprised to learn from a member of Ghislaine Maxwell's legal team that she has never been interviewed by either state or federal prosecutors. Despite news reports to the contrary, it appears that Maxwell may be an untapped source of information on the scandal...
‘ The prosecutors who brought charges against Maxwell repeatedly told the judge overseeing her 2021 trial that she was willing to “brazenly lie under oath about her conduct.” And they noted that her lies were the subject of two perjury counts’ (later dropped.)
Democrats should be screaming this line from the rooftops.
They’re…shutting down the government to protect a pedophile.
@HouseGOP and @SpeakerJohnson are actively covering up a PEDO and his crimes Treason Traitors Human scum @GOP #EpsteinTrumpCoverUp @POTUS #MAGA @TheDemocrats

Have you tweeted "Release the Epstein files" lately?
Oh so just become a grifter with no morals who lies for money, and we can do the same thing?
Mike Johnson is so bad at lying. His entire demeanor here is fearful and shifty. He knows Trump is hiding things.
Reporter: You had to pull the rule because of fear of Epstein votes— Johnson: No. We don’t have any fear. There is no fear here. I will not allow the house to be dragged into political gamesmanship
Happy Birthday to @AlisonKrauss. We met when she was just a teenager! She even played a few shows as our fiddle player way back in the late 80’s! I’ve always enjoyed singing with her. Hope she’s having a great day on her Arcadia tour! - Del 📽️: Åsmund Felberg Johnsen
This guy said he would not vote for more than $500 billion in Medicaid cuts and then voted for a trillion in cuts. To just be honest, Mike Lawler lied. Fund his opponents for the seat. nytimes.com/2025/07/23/nyr…
There were enough votes to pass Massie's binding resolution to blow the lid open on the Epstein files. All the fury will be directed at Mike Johnson for this move but he did what he was told to do. I hope people realize that. This was Trump's call.

There’s a special place in Hell for these masked men. This is classic steroid rage by unprofessional thugs. They think their defense will be they were just following orders. How’s that worked out before? No wonder the cowards are afraid to show their faces.

I’m shocked I had no idea that he was so ill. He was a great talent and a one off. Deepest sympathies to his wife Sharon and children. Ozzy Osbourne, Black Sabbath Frontman and Heavy Metal Legend, Dies at 76 variety.com/2025/music/obi…
To be clear: not one word of this is true.
Trump: "Barack Hussein Obama is the ringleader. Hillary Clinton was right there with him and so was Sleepy Joe Biden, Comey, Clapper. They tried to rig an election and they got caught. And then they did rig the election in 2020. And then because I knew I won that election by a…
So, wait, you guys closed the file on Epstein without talking to Maxwell? That’s weird.
Justice demands courage. For the first time, the Department of Justice is reaching out to Ghislaine Maxwell to ask: what do you know? At @AGPamBondi’s direction, I’ve contacted her counsel. I intend to meet with her soon. No one is above the law—and no lead is off-limits.
Shutting down the United States House of Representatives to avoid a vote on the Epstein matter should cause everyone to recalibrate their conspiracy meter from like a 6 out of 10 to 8.5 out of 10.
Cowards @SpeakerJohnson and the rest of the Republican are literally running away from taking a vote on the Epstein files, all to protect the Pedophile-in-Chief. They couldn’t make it more obvious that Trump is not just named, but complicit.
Host: There are new signs that the backlash over the Jeffrey Epstein saga is not going away. A vote to force the White House to release all records related to Epstein now has enough Republican support in the House. Just as that news was breaking, Mike Johnson says he's not going…
