Not only has Fox News not mentioned Epstein's bombshell email that Trump “knew about the girls" once on the air today, the word "Epstein" does not even appear on the homepages of Fox News, Breitbart, The Daily Wire, OAN, Gateway Pundit or The Federalist today. Total coverage blackout

One of two things is true:
1. Chuck Schumer genuinely felt this is a bad deal, so he voted against it, but he couldn't keep Senate Dems in line because he's a lackluster leader.
OR
2. Chuck Schumer orchestrated the shutdown deal w/ retiring Dems because he's a bad strategist and got rattled.

Omg. This is unbelievably messed up
Scoop: Trump has started demolishing the White House's East Wing facade to build his ballroom. The president had claimed construction of the $250 million building wouldn’t ‘interfere’ with the existing White House structure. /W @ddiamond.bsky.social wapo.st/4hqBNiU

In 2025, young Democrats are saying “NO KINGS” due to the orange felon’s obvious totalitarian takeover of the United States whilst young republicans are praising and expressing their admiration for Hitler. That tells me everything.

Wednesday, on a party-line vote, the US House Committee on Oversight & Government Reform advanced 14 bills to weaken or outright repeal DC’s local laws. These bills aren’t just uninformed & anti-democratic, they are dangerous and will make us less safe. 🧵
