Trump "encouraging" Congress to pass the discharge petition is all theater. Trump doesn't need Congress to release the Epstein Files. DOJ reports to HIM. And Pam will do as he commanded—not release the files, or at least any that are embarrassing to him.

You mean the company that's currently being struck by its workers and the company that's currently being boycotted because of its terrible DEI policy rollbacks? Why not just call this the Chocolate Mint Racist Scab Frostie?
Beginning Monday, a Frozen Peppermint Hot Chocolate drink will be available exclusively at Starbucks cafés inside Target stores.
The chains are hoping the drink can drum up excitement from customers this holiday season.

Something I’m calling the Crime Tax.
The Crime Tax is for billionaires who commit crimes like securities fraud, paying to influence elections, or tearing up the Constitition to destroy agencies and regulation. Crime Tax: on conviction the billionaire pays all of thr wealth except $1M to the gov’t.

The deal for a vote just gives Susan Collins an opportunity to vote off and nobody gets more affordable health care
I think the Senate GOP will give them the vote, because they can just vote it down, or just let the House never bring it up.
There’s no downside to the GOP giving Dems the vote, and maybe a little upside since “moderates” like Collins can vote for it knowing it’ll never pass
