Wow. How deep does this coverup go?
To recap: Jeffrey Epstein offered a NY Times reporter photos taken in Epstein's kitchen of Donald Trump and girls in bikinis *and* implored the NYT reporter to put this information in the public discourse in 2015
What did the NY Times editors know about this offer?

❤️Loving these standout stats from last week’s RCV elections in Minneapolis and St. Paul. 🎉Ranking and turnout are both on the rise — voters continue to show how well RCV works.
There will be plenty more data to go through on Monday, but here's something for this weekend! Voters showed up in big numbers Tuesday, and they came ready to rank in the St. Paul and Minneapolis mayoral elections. Over 90% of ballots were still active in the final round of counting in both cities!

Of course, the Republicans will not come to the table to "work w/ us."
Shaheen: "We've heard from a number of our colleagues on the other side of the aisle that they're willing to come to the table, they're willing to work with us once the govt is open to get this done. We've heard the same thing from the White House. So now we'll see if they're really gonna work w/us"
