So Threads is now riven with rumors that Nancy Mace has withdrawn her signature on the petition for the Epstein Files. I wouldn't doubt this is more than possible and she would be a prime candidate to chicken out, but has anyone seen a reputable source to confirm?

Federal charges. Maybe. Could be so broad as to be useless. But they do NOT cover state indictments. Also, why would a guy who was going to be President forever and ever and ever bother to pardon everyone from the election we all know he lost in the first year of his office? Something we don't know?
BREAKING
President Trump has granted a pardon to a slew of Trump world figures, including Rudy Giuliani, Mark Meadows, and Sidney Powell, for their efforts to overturn the 2020 election.

Quick question: do these three supposed resolutions need a majority vote or does the filibuster need to be broken?
If the answer is “a majority,” then I presume those bills can also be filibustered?

I’M CALLING IT: This will be morphed into the Schumer proposal to get it passed, and they will call it “TrumpCare.”
it is darkly humorous that after all these years, the Republican health insurance plan ends up being to end health insurance
Trump: "I am recommending to Senate Republicans that the Hundreds of Billions of Dollars currently being sent to money sucking Insurance Companies in order to save the bad Healthcare provided by ObamaCare, BE SENT DIRECTLY TO THE PEOPLE SO THAT THEY CAN PURCHASE THEIR OWN, MUCH BETTER, HEALTHCARE."
