My takeaway from Epstein document dump was that Jeffrey Epstein in 2018/early 2019 was increasingly telling people he had dirt on Trump and Trump knew everything about child sex ring. To protect Trump's re-election campaign, Trump's DOJ charged Epstein in July 2019. Then Epstein committed "suicide."

Under the Big Ugly Bill, Alphabet gets $17.9B in tax breaks. That could pay for SNAP benefits for 7.5 million Americans.

Amazon gets $15.7B. That could lower ACA premiums for 2.4 million people.

Microsoft gets $12.5B. That could cover Medicaid for 3.8 million children.

Republicans BLOCKED an amendment that would redirect $40 BILLION from Argentina to fund the ACA subsidies for two years.

Why do we have money for Argentina while our own people lose their health care? How does this make us great?

Do I think it’s likely that we invade Greenland the day of the Epstein file release, possibly take out the Danish Royal Family? Absolutely not! Do I think it’s possible? Mmmmmmaybe

"situation room"

House of Dynamite, but with an incoming House of Representatives petition motion.
Q: "Why are White House officials…meeting with Rep. Boebert in an effort to try to get her to not sign this petition calling for the release of the [Epstein] files?"

Leavitt: "I'm not going to detail conversations that took place in the situation room."

The Speaker of the House shut the chamber down for two months to block the release of the Epstein Files and the president is huddled in the Situation Room of the White House to formulate a plan to keep them from being released, and I don't know why you crazy libs think there's some kind of cover up.

New - I understand angry MPs this afternoon spoke to Starmer at PLP committee to ask he sack whoever was briefing against Streeting or who authorised any attacks.

He refused to say he would sack anyone or that there would be consequences.

MPs said they took this as backing McSweeney.

The idea that Keir Starmer, who does not appear to have a theory of economic growth or a consistent tax and spending plan, is the only imaginable Labour politician who wouldn't scare the markets... doesn't entirely convince me tbh.

The Waspi women were lied to
Their campaign became the tool of cynical politicians.

flats aren't as easy to sell - they stay on the books and end up discounted even in posher areas (or that's what the London estate agents say) - so there must be less demand and pricing accordingly
