I think Carville's right that Democrats should simply propose to repeal Trump's megabill nytimes.com/2025/07/21/opi…
🚨NEWS — EPSTEIN ISSUE NOT GOING AWAY @timburchett will offer a motion in OVERSIGHT shortly to subpoena GHISLAINE MAXWELL for a deposition.
We can’t rebuild faith in government without proving that it works. That means treating execution as a first principle rather than an afterthought. And it means giving public institutions the resources and capacity to deliver.

"I don't believe the polls" -- Homan on polls showing a majority of American oppose Trump's deportation policies
Trump and the Republicans are trying to steal the House by explicitly demanding TX redistricts 5 new Republican districts.
GOP Rep. Troy Nehs on Trump’s push to redraw maps and add five GOP seats in TX. “I support the governor in his effort, because we need to make sure we keep the House.” “We can get five, let's get five. Yeah, I'd like to try to get six.”
NEW POLL with @verasight_data : Dems lead the House generic ballot by 4, Trump's approval underwater (-15), and voters are unhappy with Trump's deportations. Plus, support for a third-party collapses by nearly 60% if Elon Musk leads it. Full analysis linked in next tweet
Plausible that Trump will trade a pardon to his old friend Ghislane in exchange for ~nothing, he loves letting elites do crimes and get away with them.
☀️PUNCHBOWL NEWS AM: INSIDE JOHNSON'S EPSTEIN MESS THE HOUSE FLOOR is frozen because House Republicans are rebelling against @SpeakerJohnson strategy for dealing with the EPSTEIN FILES. The HOUSE RULES COMMITTEE is supposed to hold the line for the leadership and vote down any…

🚨🚨🚨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…

If Dems were closing shop in Congress to avoid an Epstein vote, can you imagine what it would be like on here?

Even people who put money on the line can be affected by ideology over facts. This is a big how we got the financial crisis - people thought deregulation = growth instead of financial ruin
Business conditions worsening due to erratic trade policy but investors believe Trump will keep the line going up somehow as banks push for laxer regulations on their risk-taking 🤔
Ummm so let me get this straight: Republicans have ground Congress to a halt and are considering adjourning the entire House for 6 weeks to avoid releasing the info they have on Epstein? What is going on here?
NEWS - House Rules Committee isn’t returning AT ALL tonight and likely not AT ALL THIS week amid Epstein + other issues, per sources Scalise confirms to me it’s “not likely” Rules return - meaning House would leave without advancing immigration and several other bills
Honestly can you imagine a scandal so bad that they stop all house business to avoid just a vote on releasing the Epstein files? House business has never been stopped before for a scandal as long as I can remember.
Ummm they are willing to stop all House business to avoid voting to release the files? You know what they call that? A cover up
NEWS — RALPH NORMAN, hardline conservative on the House Rules Committee, says the panel will not report a rule this week for bills, effectively shutting down the house floor. Why? He doesn’t want to vote on Democrats’ Epstein amendments. He says it’s grandstanding.
For those not on Capitol Hill, this is a House GOP debacle. They are so scared of votes re: Epstein that they will punt most of this week's legislative schedule and start their summer break early.
Two GOP members of the House Rules Committee told us no rule will be produced for bills this week, all because the GOP can't figure out a path forward on Epstein
What do they have to hide?
News —Speaker Mike Johnson shuts the door on a House vote before August recess on a resolution calling for the release of the Jeffrey Epstein files. “No,” he told me when asked if there’d be a vote before recess. Says wants to give administration “space” to deal with issue
