Congress thinks you’re stupid. The rules committee passed a NON-BINDING Epstein resolution, hoping folks will accept it as real. It forces the release of NOTHING. But that resolution isn’t commingled with the Rescissions package, as I incorrectly described in this deleted post:
If a more moderate Democrat beats a progressive in the 2028 primary (as in 2016 and 2020), it will be tough to convince progressives to unite behind the nominee when the Democratic establishment won't rally behind @ZohranKMamdani after his convincing primary win.
From the MoDo archives. Trump: "When Puff Daddy has a party...I'm the person they call." Fascinating!
Why Trump's Name is Almost Certainly in the Epstein Files, by @danpfeiffer open.substack.com/pub/messagebox…
I think the idea that “The President is simultaneously an institution beyond the reach of criminal law and also a private person who can file $10 billion defamation suits when he dislikes a news article” is not very sensible.
40% of self-identified MAGA Republicans dissatisfied with Trump's response to the Epstein files is a huge deal. It's the first time his base has rebelled against him.
It could not be more obvious that this whole thing was conceived as a distraction for the Epstein stuff. They are literally using the “Phase 1” binder stooges for it. I mean, come on. They’re not even trying.
The Obama Administration said everything that is in this report *publicly and emphatically* at the time. Yes, the Russians hacked Hillary and leaked to Wikileaks to help Trump, but No, they did not infiltrate or affect the vote tally.

Really makes you wonder. Is there a powerful political figure who is protecting pedophiles?
With Colton's conviction, that makes FOUR pardoned January 6th insurrectionists who have faced charges for solicitation of a minor or child sex abuse of some kind.
Wow, can't think of anyone more trustworthy to debunk the "Russia hoax" than... this lady!
🧵 Americans will finally learn the truth about how in 2016, intelligence was politicized and weaponized by the most powerful people in the Obama Administration to lay the groundwork for what was essentially a years-long coup against President @realDonaldTrump, subverting the…

One reason Clare will pay more for health care is Trump and Republicans in Congress thought it was extremely important that the wealthiest Americans be able to pass on $30 million to their heirs tax free instead of just $14 million.
Health insurance premiums going up by ~25% in 2026 is going to be a major economic and political problem. And there is no real attempt from the Administration to do anything about it. wsj.com/health/healthc…
Not sure that view holds when the media in question is owned by Rupert Murdoch
🤔Counterintuitive take: This WSJ story just might be the best thing to happen to Trump since the Epstein story exploded. For the first time, those who most vocally criticized him/his admins for not releasing enough info, are now rallying to his support. (At least for now... we…
This is a very transparent attempt to seem transparent without releasing any information that might be damaging to Trump or his powerful friends who may be connected to Epstein.
Needless to say, Grand Jury Testimony is not the whole shebang
You do have to wonder if Paramount made this announcement right now to grease the wheels to get Trump to approve the merger

Turns out someone said...Trump is going to fire the woman who prosecuted both of them. Oops!
Did someone say Epstein/Diddy Client List Release Livestream?!
