Breaking on MS NOW: Republican Sen. Tommy Tuberville says he'll support the resolution to release the Epstein files if it makes it to the Senate.

"Sure, I'd vote for it," he tells NBC News. "…the Democrats have been yelling about it. Let's just shut them up."

Personally, I think it's terrific that no one around the president is willing to tell him he sounds completely delusional and out of touch here. Just let him keep telling voters they're not paying what they're paying.
Trump lies: "Prices are way down."

They all know the DOJ won't release the files because of the sham "investigation"

Mayor-Elect @joi4mayor.bsky.social will be the first female AND first person of color to serve as mayor in her small Pennsylvania town. She sat down with me to explore her successful campaign and to encourage others to run for office in their own backyards.

Be the change.

MTG is not a friend or ally.

She’s an extremist…a racist antisemite. She harrassed children impacted by gun violence.

She’s dangerous.

Two days ago, signing a petition to release the Epstein files was a treasonous act. Only 4 House Republicans were willing to do it. They were pressured, threatened and harassed by Trump to remove their name.

Tomorrow, they are all going to vote for it.

Spineless cowards.

Billie Eilish asked an important question: "If you’re a billionaire, why are you a billionaire?"

There are FIVE ways to accumulate a billion dollars:

1) Profiting from a monopoly
2) Insider-trading
3) Political payoffs
4) Fraud
5) Inheritance

Billionaires are the result of a failed system.

When asked if there was anything "incriminating" in Epstein's emails, Trump pointed a finger in a female reporter's face and snapped. 'Quiet. Quiet, Piggy.'

Despots weaponize their opponents' compassion against them. Trump wants to use people's pain as extortion to get Democrats to fund his corruption. I didn't want the shutdown, but Democrats would be suckers to knowingly vote for a budget that destroys our democracy.
