I truly feel sorry for every American smart enough to realize that this makes the United States look like the dumbest nation on the planet.
DOOCY: On Prince Andrew, do you think American associates of Jeffrey Epstein will wind up in handcuffs too?

TRUMP: I'm the expert in a way because I've been totally exonerated. That's very nice. I can actually speak about it very nicely. I think it's a shame. I did nothing.

WATCH — @RepBryanSteil makes it clear the “SAVE” act saves Republican men from women voting, since now they’ll have to jump through hoops after changing their last names.

Women, immigrants, young people… anyone who doesn’t vote majority GOP they are targeting.

Now look, I get that I’m not a high powered Dem consultant, but is there a reason we can’t run on seizing the FUCKING SLUSH FUND Trump is setting up and sending every criminal in this administration, including but not limited to those in DHS/CBP/ICE to fucking jail? Is that not a thing we can do?

Look this isn't exactly a mystery here:

1. The NYT hates AOC and does not want her to be president.
2. The easiest and likely most effective attack on AOC will be her youth i.e. lack of experience/knowledge.
3. Ergo, they are setting the style guide now: AOC is dumb.

Gonna be a long three years.

not that nancy mace is typical here but there is an interesting dynamic where epstein might work as an excuse for vulnerable or ambitious republicans to distance themselves a little from trump without breaking with his overall agenda

REP. NANCY MACE: No, absolutely not. I think he was murdered. I don't know if it was an intel agency or what it is. The data from the videos cameras was erased.

NEW: Sen. Susan Collins became the 50th senator to support the voter suppressive SAVE America Act.

The Mainer's alignment with Trump’s agenda exposes her willingness to turn her back on democracy.

But this November, voters will get the chance to return the favor, Marc Elias writes.
Susan Collins hands Trump the 50th vote against free and fair elections
When it comes to free and fair elections, Collins is as conservative and anti-voting rights as they come.
