Clay Higgins was the only member of the House to vote against releasing the Epstein files.
His record also includes allegedly putting a gun to the head of one of his ex-wives, voting for a neo-Nazi, and assaulting an unarmed Black man while working as a cop.

2. A crash looms, prefigured by collapse in home insurance/mortgage markets.
3. There are true villains in the story, and we have to tell it that way.

As Trump marches toward militarizing San Francisco:
- Memorize contact info in case of arrest
- Plan ahead if you have children or medication
- Speak out PEACEFULLY and at a distance
Stay smart, safe, and don’t give them the excuse they're wanting to escalate their crackdown.

Everyone realize that the reason the government is "shut down" is that the Republicans failed to pass a budget by Sept 30th, as they are required to do by law, and the government just ran out of money?
By law the Republicans were required to have a budget for the new fiscal year in place on September 30th.
Anyone seen the budget? Are they are here in DC working on one?
Don't we think media, commentators should be asking Rs where their budget is? Do they intend to actually create one?
