EPSTEIN-Trump is playing games. He’s seeking disclosure of grand jury material but that requires court approval which the law is VERY hard to satisfy. But the government TODAY can disclose all the other investigative material on its own without court approval. Why isn’t it doing that?

They say you need a good elevator pitch to run for office.
Well, here's mine. My name is Taylor Wettach, and I'm a 7th-generation Iowan. I quit my job as a lawyer after my law firm caved to Trump. Now, I'm running for Congress to flip Iowa's 1st and take back the House.

Phang: Vance Boelter received better treatment when taken into custody than Narciso Barranco—a Mexican immigrant working at IHOP, landscaping in the parking lot under the hot sun on a Saturday—who was beaten by Border Patrol agents.

The President does not have the authority to make this decision. There is no imminent threat to America from Iran. He cannot take this action without congressional authorization.
I will not vote to give him that authority, and I likely represent the majority of Congress.

Trump is weighing whether to join Israel in striking Iran’s underground Fordow nuclear site, a target only U.S. B-2 bombers with bunker busters can destroy, NYT reports.

Resistence is NOT futile
Marriott’s CEO said it straight: “We welcome all… we create opportunities for all… that’s who we are as a company.”
He went back to his hotel to find 40K emails from Marriott associates worldwide saying “thank you.”
Plenty of CEOs talk. Capuano showed up.
Marriott still has my business.

I don’t agree with McCrory on most issues but I appreciate him speaking out on the need to honor election results.
"If you change the rules in this election, after the election is over, then every election could be in doubt in the future."
Republican former Gov. Pat McCrory speaks against losing candidate Jefferson Griffin's dangerous attempt to toss out lawful ballots of voters, including military voters.
