Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse;
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,
And 1 million Epstein files appeared from thin air

Fox News did show a handful of the slides during the speech, with a label that said "White House graphic." One of the slides, showing gas prices since 2017, undercut Trump’s talking points about gas being under $2 in some places. The graphic showed that the national average is still near $3.

In a second example of local police securing a path for Bovino's caravan today, Evanston cops just assisted with the feds' departure by blocking and directing traffic.
