When someone has the audacity to tell me to smile I think okay game time. I give a quick fake smile then say okay your turn. Look surprised! When they look confused I say I thought we were playing a game. (I understand the felon was insulting her because he disrespects women & fears Epstein files)

so crazy to me that a woman asked trump if he has any words for epstein's victims and he said "you as a young woman should smile more." it will go nowhere bc republicans refuse to hold trump accountable, but it's still pretty crazy.

“in theater” is a crazy way to describe minneapolis
Q: Can you be specific about how many ICE and CBP agents are currently operating in the state?
HOMAN: 3,000. There's been some rotations. They've been in theater a long time. Day after day, can't eat in restaurants, people spin on you, blowing whistles at you. But my main focus now is draw down
