Worth repeating this with every new Epstein document drop. The party of Denny Hastert is the party of Jim Jordan is the party of Matt Gaetz is the party of Donald Trump. Looking the other way and protecting child predators from the law is their brand.

He's telling the states that fund every red state's infrastructure that their own tax money will no longer be used on their needs. So why would they continue sending it to DC??
Sean Duffy on blue states: "What I can do is I can pull their money. That's the leverage I do have ... I guarantee you that the federal taxpayer is not going to fund their roads and bridges and their systems when they are putting illegals on the roads."

That's one hell of a fucking sentence right there. Jesus.
Thinking today about this sentence:
"Every $100 increase in median rent is associated with a 9 percent increase in the estimated homelessness rate, according to a 2020 report by the U.S. Government Accountability Office."
"Every $100 increase in median rent is associated with a 9 percent increase in the estimated homelessness rate, according to a 2020 report by the U.S. Government Accountability Office."
Inflation is making homelessness worse
Rising housing costs, combined with persistent inflation for basic necessities like gas and food, have left more Americans newly homeless and millions more fearing they’ll soon lose their homes.

Many of us saw this coming decades ago though and didn't need Trump for us to see it happening
Some of the same conservatives who constructed an entire worldview around a fear that someday the federal government would create a panopticon to persecute them ended up building one to use against their enemies the minute they got the chance.
Trump, Hunger Games, and the Kennedy Center
The dystopia everyone said was impossible is already here.

U.S. plans to stop recommending most childhood vaccines, defer to doctors
The plan, which is not finalized, suggests children get fewer shots and shifts to a model telling parents to consult doctors to make their own vaccine choices.

Putin isn’t backing down. He won’t stop his illegal and brutal war until he gets everything he wants. Meanwhile, Trump is renaming buildings after himself and accepting fake peace prizes. Two peas in a pod.

TAPPER: Earlier today - this isn't the first time - Trump appeared to be struggling to keep eyes open. Does that worry you?
REINER: It's jarring to see him go from basically asleep in the Oval to this rapid fire pace during a 30-minute speech he gave in 18. There's been a lot of health issues.
