What a time to be alive.
It begins. Clearly incriminating evidence against president of the United States.
Epstein to Maxwell, April 2, 2011:
"i want you to realize that that dog that hasn't barked is trump. [VICTIM] spent hours at my house with him ,, he has never once been mentioned. police chief. etc."

UPDATE: The Senate votes 53-47 to shoot down the Baldwin amendment to extend ACA funds for 1 year. A party-line vote with every Republican rejecting it.
An important vote in this series: Tammy Baldwin’s proposal to extend ACA expiring funds for 1 year. It’s structured as a motion to table (i.e. scrap it from the amendment tree). But it’ll show the appetite (or lack thereof) in the Senate to address this issue.

Spending Bill Would Pave Way for Senators to Sue Over Phone Searches
Republicans have voiced outrage that Jack Smith looked at G.O.P. lawmakers’ phone records surrounding the Jan. 6 attack. Legislation to reopen the government would allow them to sue for $500,000 each.

Remember House republicans can vote right this minute to end trump's tariffs and help their farmers but they won't because trump told them no
Mike Johnson: "I think the Court has to give deference to that. I think the Court has to recognize the executive is doing what they're doing -- he's using tariffs to create leverage in our trade strategy, and it's yielding great results for the American people."

China bought 22,130,000 tons of soy beans from the US last year. This year they bought zero because of the tariffs.
Trump: "We made a wonderful deal for everybody. Our farmers, as you know, with the soybeans at levels that nobody has ever seen before. If we didn't have the tariffs, we wouldn't have been able to do that."

New: The FBI is quietly urging ICE agents to properly ID themselves in the field.
In a bulletin to law enforcement last month, it warned of criminals posing as ICE to rob, rape, kidnap—a problem it says now demands national coordination to confront.

can someone make a supercut of johnson saying he doesn't know anything
Raju: Last week, you were very critical of Biden, you said he didn’t even know who was pardoning. On 60 minutes, Trump admitted not knowing he pardoned a crypto billionaire guilty of money laundering. Is that also concerning?
Johnson: I don’t know anything about it.

Very brave of House Republicans to stand up for trump's hideously unpopular tariffs and block a resolution that would help their voters
For the third time in three days, the Senate was asked whether it approves of President Trump’s tariffs. And for the third time, they said “no.”
But that vote is unlikely to undermine any agreements because House Republican leadership has blocked votes on Trump’s tariffs until March.

There is a long interview with Palantir CTO Shyam Sankar by columnist Ross Douthat in the Times today. "We’re explicitly not building Skynet," he reassures Douthat, in a wide ranging conversation that ranges from the company's work with ICE and Israel to Sankar's appetite for pro-American movies.
