JD Vance claimed these Young Republican members were just “kids” being “edgy” by praising Hitler.
Except they were adults, and as this photo backs up, they rubbed shoulders with everybody in Republican politics.

President Trump called for the jailing of Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson and Illinois Governor JB Pritzker on Truth Social.
The threat comes after Illinois sued the administration on Monday in hopes of halting the troops’ deployment. The National Guard arrived this week nonetheless. trib.al/pXoPcwu

It is a core principle of this nation that the military should not be asked to turn its weapons against fellow Americans, let alone use “Full Force,” as Trump posted. Deployments to quell civil unrest are illegal unless a president *properly* invokes the Insurrection Act… 5/12

I don’t know who did what with Epstein. Including Trump. I don’t know.
What we should all know is that Epstein and Maxwell didn’t traffic those victims to nobody. Other people were involved.
WHOEVER those other people are, they need to be held accountable.
What if that was your daughter?

I’m not one of the folks who wants the Epstein files released as a means of being against Trump.
It’s a simple matter of justice.
About 1,000 girls and women were abused by Jeffrey Epstein (with some by Ghislaine Maxwell too). Epstein was charged and Maxwell was convicted of child sex trafficking.

I also grew up in Boston so I have a firm understanding that when you send in federal troops bad things are likely to happen. When upset citizens start throwing rocks at the troops probably not a good idea to shoot them. I mean, unless you really want a revolution. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boston_...

The CBO says the current GOP budget bill would add so much to the national debt that it could force nearly $500 billion in cuts to Medicare beginning in 2026.
The CBO just released a score on Republicans' existing mega-package and found that the GOP budget plan would increase the deficit by $2.3 trillion over a decade.
It would boost the incomes of the richest 10% of Americans while lowering the incomes of the lowest 10%.

UPDATE: DOJ attorney Jonathan Guynn reaffirms that Abrego Garcia was deported to El Salvador "in error" but says it was not "misconduct." Judge Xinis rejects that premise, notes Abrego Garcia was seized without a warrant or lawful authority. Guynn says that's not misconduct.
