So the Epstein files really are as bad or worse than what we've been hearing about. Johnson is probably going to find he is fighting a losing battle, now when the focus is on him, and only him.
In the most predictable development ever, Mike Johnson is not committing to hold a House vote on ACA subsidies

A Russian soldier was buried in a pit for refusing to go die.

On this soldier’s cap, it says: "To be a soldier means to live forever."

1/ Russian soldiers are once again finding themselves being targeted by the hated military police for petty offences, including "driving with dirty tires" in the middle of the muddy season in Ukraine. "Are we fighting or just wanking?" asks one aggrieved soldier-blogger. ⬇️

‼️😳 While Donetsk is in the midst of a humanitarian catastrophe due to lack of water, former "ruler of Donbas" Akhmetov is finishing his €500 million megayacht.

The Muscovite defense ministry has lied without interruption for decades. This is just more lies made to keep their job. Saying they have been forced to retreat would result in instant removal and possible prosecution or defenestration, by a fascist and genocidal regime who don't accept failure.

OTOH, now a big Epstein shaped ball is in Mike Johnson's court, and he has been desperately trying to kick all Epstein balls away from his corner to not have to deal with the issue. Will he be able to repeat the "feat" this time?
Remember when some of us said the Democratic leadership would take all the wrong lessons from the blue tsunami and squander all the goodwill?

Here you go.

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.

Zelenskyy: "Europe fears the word ‘escalation.’ They believe any response is escalation - but Russia sees non-forceful, intellectual responses as weakness."

This is exactly right. We are at war a thug, or a school bully. Give them something and they will demand more!

We need to strike 6 substations that supply the nuclear power plants in Russia, ask how the Russians are feeling, and then convene the IAEA Board.

Russia launched hundreds of drones and missiles targeting thermal power plants and substations across Ukraine. The strikes shut down all state-owned thermal generation, causing widespread blackouts and halting electricity, heating, and water nationwide as winter temperatures drop. #StandWithUkraine

Russia’s recent strikes on thermal and power substations nationwide aim to trigger a nuclear catastrophe, specifically by cutting electricity to the Khmelnytskyi and Rivne nuclear plants. Ukraine has called an emergency IAEA Board meeting.
