Now we will likely see how the Republicans will continue to protect pedophiles by not releasing the Epstein files. Stay tuned.

Reckless Republican Shutdown? Day 41
Eight Senate Democrats defected and sided with the Republicans likely bringing an end to the longest shutdown in American history. It's a sad day. Like it or not, the Democrats own this now.

Adelita Grijalva was elected 9/23 but still not sworn in. Her vote could trigger release of the Epstein files. Mike Johnson is stalling till after the 12/2 TN race. If Van Epps beats Behn, his vote cancels hers & blocks the release.

Justice KBJ is a brilliant strategist. She is working the rules to compel timely review of the stay in the SNAP case by both the Circuit Court and by the Supreme Court. This is why knowing which SCOTUS justice has supervision of the Circuit you file in is essential.

A powerful message to our allies (especially South America and all over Asia), from a man who’s known Trump for over 30 years. It’s not safe for you to visit our country right now nor is it advisable to do business with Trump and his administration. Take a listen.

This man just got back from South America and his message is chilling. He’s warning the world to stay away from the U.S. right now.
