The Republican spending bill fails to address the Republican health care crisis and puts the American people last.
While Republicans don't care about saving health care, House Democrats will continue fighting to protect access to quality, affordable health care.

Here's what I mean when I say it's very clear Ghislaine lied.
A few weeks after Blanche's chummy interview, in which Ghislaine (among other things) denied there were cameras at Epstein's brownstone, this unsourced NYT article that did not mention Blanche posted pics making it clear there were.

My advice to GOP Members of Congress? Sign the discharge petition and get in front of this so you don't have to pretend you're not protecting Trump by hiding the Epstein Files. Trump and staff huddle in the White House strategizing how to STOP release of the Epstein Files!

They're gonna have her give a full throated defense of Trump and never release the files.
Also, I gotta imagine they're only going hard on the gas pedal with this because the Dems gave up all their leverage with the shutdown. Trump wasn't gonna free her when he was on the hook for that

The fix is in.
Ghislaine Maxwell, transferred to a club med prison after Trump's lawyer met with her (and she likely spilled what she knows about Trump), is now being waited on "hand and foot" by guards and is getting her commutation application ready with help from the warden.

So he’s saying all the tariff money we took in is gone and we won’t be able to pay it back. There was always a possibility he could lose this lawsuit and have to refund the tariff money. We didn’t prepare for that possibility? He’s running the govt like he ran his casinos.
