In normal times, it would be a major scandal for the President to direct his AG to criminally investigate his political opponents to deflect from his own involvement in a major scandal — and for the AG to immediately announce she is doing it. The Epstein scandal and cover up just got even bigger.

With the Epstein case, we either end up in a world where pedophilia, sexual assault of children, and human trafficking are endorsed by the United States of America, or we hold every single person involved in these heinous crimes accountable. It appears the Trump regime is trying hard for the former.

Do not blame this on inflation. Insurers raised base rates by about 26 percent. Consumers are seeing increases over 100 percent. That gap is caused by the loss of ACA subsidies. When that financial shield expired millions were shoved off the subsidy cliff at the same time
