This is very revealing.
MTG tells the Times that when she threatened to expose the men who abused Epstein’s victims, Trump called to scream at her.
“My friends will get hurt,” he said.
This shouldn’t surprise anyone, but it’s still shocking to read.
Maybe don’t be friends with pedos, just saying

This is about people who are being held pretrial, without a conviction, and yet are blocked from accessing ballots… until Colorado required polling places in jails.
Sheriffs nationwide have enormous control over jail voting access, with many restricting mail and voter guides, making it nearly impossible for incarcerated people to vote. A law in Colorado removed that discretion—and turnout has soared.
Jail Voting Soars in Colorado After State Mandates Polling Places in County Lockups
Local officials had claimed they were already giving detained people ballot access, but the first-in-the-nation mandate forced their hands and increased turnout across the state.

Y’all might know for the last three years I have read to my grandkids overseas (their dad stationed in Japan). Usually just short picture books.
So guess which story the two oldest grandsons have been pleading for?

Ghislaine Maxwell: as she is doing time already, Congress shd immunize her which would force her to have to testify (she is currently objecting based on the 5th A). She can be prosecuted if she lies or refuses to testify. And it would make it that much more outlandish for Trump to later pardon her.
