Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."

To end the shutdown, the House had to open and vote. Grijalva had to be sworn in before any other business could occur. [..] And suddenly the big story was not that the Democrats had caved, but that the country and survivors were a step closer to seeing the Epstein files.
New in PN: Mike Johnson's Epstein bungling is a disaster for the GOP
"Observing Johnson in recent months has been like watching an extended Road Runner cartoon, where the Coyote fashions intricate knots of congressional procedure in order to tie himself to a giant stack of lit dynamite."

The House speaker and his boss put on a masterclass of failure.

…and then the rest of the White House press corps pushed back against the president’s gratuitous insult aimed at one of their colleagues?
Oh wait! There’s no sign that anything like that happened!

Kash Patel: "Russiagate -- I lived it. I was weaponized as a victim against a weaponization, politicization of law enforcement, including at the FBI by former senior leadership there. I was the one that ran and uncovered the Russiagate hoax and conspiracy."

NEW: @propublica.org investigated the Chicago apartment raid where kids were zip-tied and citizens detained for hours. They find:
- NONE of the arrested were criminally charged
- NO evidence the building was "filled with TdA terrorists."
- ZERO legitimate reason for DHS to rappel from a Blackhawk.

For all the excitement over Epstein's emails it is quite remarkable how no one has quite managed to establish how a fired private high school teacher managed to amass so much money in financial markets so quickly

It makes sense in a way but its actually amazing that the 4 GOP House members signing off on the Epstein thing are basically the 4 craziest members and no bite from any of the "moderates" (to the extent they exist)

As I’ve seen this confused a few times, please note that Robin Gibb was a much-beloved member of the Bee Gees, whilst Robbie Gibb is the BBC board member who also, totally coincidentally, was editorial adviser in the set-up of GB News.

This comes from basic misreading of risks Trump presents to US and global systems in how so many believed he could become a Putin style autocrat
Instead, Trump embodies radicalised overreach by a structural minority whose inability to cope with inevitable backlashes leads to paralysis and violence

This same question confronts foreign govts as well. Many have been cowed into appeasing Trump due to the very real pain he can inflict in the short term. But with his domestic weakness increasingly clear, a stiffer approach could add more pressure that weakens him even further in the long term.
The same question awaits the Dems. Do they act like a relatively normal party that has just gotten proof of concept for an electoral landslide, or scare themselves off of a fight they can win?

This right here, this exact sentence, is THE problem in American political journalism.
The IRA *was* cheap energy and good jobs! That was the whole bill! Democrats did precisely what political pundits are telling them to do and the pundits just ignore it.
