A new study has shown that miscarriage or induced abortion is NOT a potential risk factor for breast cancer, contrary to continued anti-choice propaganda. Even several abortions or miscarriages does not increase risk. The study used high-quality Finnish registry data.

In a normal government, this results in the resignation of multiple cabinet officials (Transportation, Defense, and Homeland Security), and the closure or (at least!) radical reorg of the cartoonishly incompetent agency at the center of it: CBP.

When the U.S. uses the military against citizens, attacks immigrants, and executes people who pose no threat, it jeopardizes our national security because it incites violence, invites retaliation, normalizes fascism, and sets precedence for others to follow suit.

It's not surprising that Lutnik was a business associate of Epstein and is all over the Epstein files.
It's not surprising that he lied about it.
It is surprising that his lies were so detailed and well thought out.
And it is surprising that he didn't realize the truth would be known.

NEW: A page from Bondi's burn book. This is a list of the searches by Rep Jayapal of the unredacted Epstein files. That means the DOJ grabbed her search terms from the computers they set up for members of congress to view the Epstein files to use as ammunition. The photo is from Reuters.
