Think about what the GOP is revealing with their attempt to suddenly change the Congressional maps: they know their agenda is so unpopular that they're going to lose unless something changes.
Of course, what they should be changing is their policies, not the maps.

Omg. Virginia was a minor recruited by Ghislaine Maxwell to be raped and trafficked by Jeff Epstein to his rich friends including Prince Andrew.
To Donald Trump she is a piece of property.

If the standard — as Trump has himself stressed repeatedly about Biden — is that a president’s cognitive decline is a disqualifier and a potential liability, it’s worth taking a look at the man currently sitting behind the Resolute Desk.

It’s pretty obvious they’re going to use Maxwell to absolve Trump so it would be wise for Democrats to get out there and remind everyone — she wasn’t a victim and she wasn’t merely an accomplice in luring girls into Epstein’s trap; she was also allegedly an active participant in these girls’ abuse.

Much of the conventional media has long believed there's news value in reporting what the president says. After all, he's the president. But with Trump & his crew, their statements are often false, misleading, or outright lies. Reporting them in a straightforward way empowers disinformation.
When are media outlets going to stop reporting Trump’s claims about his “trade deals” before they actually get to see the deals in writing?
