Don't forget Melania's role in all of this. She also knew Epstein and Maxwell. The first time she allegedly had sex with Donald was on Epstein's "Lolita Express" jet.

There’s something really weird about the fact that Democrats reacted to a Blue tsunami election by caving on the shutdown, while Trump’s response to a Republican shellacking was to pardon Rudy Giuliani and dozens of other criminals www.axios.com/2025/11/10/t...
Trump pardons Giuliani, 76 others accused of bid to overturn 2020 election
None of those named faced federal charges, and presidents can't pardon state crimes.

This is how every single reporter should approach interviewing Republicans on the shutdown
Basic primer on Trump cabinet interviews these days:
Cut off anyone who starts to lecture on the shutdown being Democrats' fault. We know you think that. There is no news value in allowing a filibuster on that.
Ask if Trump will promise no recission, no impoundment on any budget deal.

If you’ve wondered why the maker of Tylenol hasn’t sued TF out of the government for RFKjr’s autism claims, here’s why. This acquisition will have to be approved by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) under antitrust law. Which means Trump has to let it happen. www.wsj.com/business/ret...
