The White House has been caught.
The administration inserted a photo of Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson, and Diana Ross into the Epstein files and falsely implied it showed them with victims.

If you have a concealed carry license, you can enter the Texas Capitol without having to go through a metal detector — If you’re a Democratic state lawmaker, you can’t leave the Texas Capitol without a permission slip.

1. Getting word that we have another anti-trans EO tonight, this time targeting teachers.
It directs the federal government to work with state AGs to put teachers who use trans kids pronouns in jail through "sexual exploitation" laws or "practicing medicine without a license."
