NYT columnist David Brooks wrote an op-ed a few weeks ago titled, "The Epstein Story? Count Me Out,” lamenting people are too focused on the Epstein scandal + saying "the QAnon mentality has taken over."

Today he appeared in 4 photos from the Epstein dump. Welp! www.huffpost.com/entry/david-...

EXCLUSIVE: For years Donald Trump has evaded responsibility for the Jan. 6 insurrection.

And for years, he has tried to kill a lawsuit that could hold him liable.

He has failed. Again and again.

This is it. This is the last chance to see Trump held to account:

Exclusive: ICE has developed a plan to arrest undocumented migrants who try to voluntarily leave the U.S. via the Mexico border, so they can face formal removal.

Why bother? Possibly to juice deportation numbers.

It's being referred to as "Operation Irish Goodbye."
