Johnson backs off claim that Trump was an ‘FBI informant’ in Epstein case
The statements from the speaker come as Democrats and a small number of Republicans are pushing for legislation to compel the release of more files on Jeffrey Epstein.

In other news, Ramadan is starting on Saturday. Be kind to your Muslims friends who are fasting. If you think we're ignoring you around 5 pm, just know we're in a Ramadan Hibernation Zone preparing for sunset when we can eat and drink.

Putin’s lifelong dream was to somehow separate the US from NATO. But how to break up a strong alliance that stood for 80 years and continued to expand? There really was only one way to do it, he figured it out a decade ago, and played the long game. Now his guy will do it.

Elon Musk is literally letting hoodlums who have been fired for stealing and misusing data, access your data.
Imagine for a moment this was Bill Gates. Or George Soros.
Then imagine what the (actually justified) right wing outrage would look like as opposed to this pathetic bootlicking.

I agree. So...if we can agree on this, why are Democrats...not moving Heaven and Earth?
