Texas, where they want to force the teaching of things that don't exist—like a snake chatting up someone called "Eve"—and ban the teaching of things that do exist—like race and gender. Christian Nationalism is toxic.

Oh, it's bad. Really bad for Donald Trump, but a win for the victims as they get closer to get some level of justice. It's also really bad for the NY Times. A paper that hammered Hillary Clinton and others when they ignored what their own reporters were doing.

And it got her an unprecedented transfer as a sex offender to a minimum security Club Fed where she has laptop access, individual meals delivered, a puppy, and yoga class. For a habitual liar and child trafficker to get a deal like that from DOJ is pretty sweet.

NEW: We’ve uncovered the first known example of taxpayer money flowing from DHS to businesses controlled by Kristi Noem’s allies and friends.

It’s part of a money trail that’s been shrouded in secrecy—and involves $220 million, a mysterious Delaware LLC & a horse named Gill.

Megyn Kelly is not just problematic in her defense of Trump and Epstein…she is emblematic of the decline in humanity infesting the Republican Party. The double standard for the definition of a child. The excuses…the rot at the center of the GOP.

The HUGE difference between Democrats and Republicans right now.

Dems: If Bill Clinton or others Dems are implicated in those Epstein files, lock 'em the hell up.

GOP: Who's to say what pedophilia is anyway? It's all a lib hoax. Just move on.

Donald asks Pam Bondi to investigate Jeffrey Epstein's involvement with anyone *not named Donald J. Trump* because Donald's so innocent.

The released emails show that Donald spent Thanksgiving with Epstein in 2017, *after* Epstein's arrest and YEARS after Donald claimed he stopped seeing Epstein.

Trump also claims he fell out with Epstein because Epstein was being a "creep" around young girls at Mar-a-Lago. That is another lie. Being a creep around young girls was why Trump was friends with Epstein in the first place. They fell out over a bidding war on Florida real estate.

First of all, a 15-year-old is not "barely legal." The age of consent in Florida is 18. So sexual behavior with a 15-year-old is rape.

Megyn Kelly is VILE trash for saying otherwise.

And Megyn Kelly is confessing to having insider information about what Jeffrey Epstein was up to but stayed silent.

NEW @motherjones.com: When a 16-year-old accused Russell Brand of rape, Megyn Kelly begged conservatives to condemn him.

Now, with Epstein, she’s claiming it’s not quite fair to call him a a pedophile because he was “into the barely legal type” of minors. ⬇️
