I think people are missing the point with this Epstein thing.
The question is not did he have sex with underaged girls. He did.
The question is not did he have illegal financial transactions with Epstein. He did.
The question is not did he serve as an asset and agent of Putin. He did.

Through every shutdown in history, the government has still provided economic data to the American people.
They aren’t doing it this time because the numbers are fucking terrible.

NEW: DHS invoked the “national emergency” at the border to skirt competitive bidding rules for a $220 million taxpayer-funded ad campaign.
We found that a firm with deep ties to Kristi Noem secretly benefited from the deal.

📍Senator Fetterman had a VFIB—the leading cause of cardiac arrest—he almost died if not for his implanted defibrillator, which can cost $34,000 to over $51,000. Days ago, he also just voted with GOP to gut health insurance tax credits for millions. Hope he has a change of heart.

Today at 4 PM ET, Congresswoman-elect Grijalva will be sworn in. Up here in Northwest Georgia, we’re asking which Marjorie Taylor Greene’s gonna show up on the House floor with Congress back, the polished guest from The View or the same chaos we’ve been dealing with for five years?

I find it highly ironic that the party that bemoaned the deep state and alleged the cover-up of pedophiles is now embroiled in defending the party that has the largest pedophile cover-up in American history.

You are correct. You need to be slapped.
Somebody slap me silly: I am starting to develop a modicum of respect for Marjorie Taylor Greene and Lauren Boebert! 😳
