This happened the same day the Republicans on the House Judiciary Committee rick-rolled their base over the Epstein Files.
Almost seems like a deliberate effort to troll the rubes who believed them.

You can’t make this stuff up. Trump supporters spent the past few years obsessing over an apparent sex trafficking cabal in charge of our country. And yet one of the first things Trump seems to have done, apparently, is push to get the Tates, charged with sex trafficking, released from Romania.
Andrew Tate and His Brother Are Said to Leave Romania for the U.S.
Andrew and Tristan Tate, the online influencers, are facing investigations in Romania and Britain, including accusations of human trafficking and sex crimes.

But Medicaid’s beneficiaries aren’t parasites. Half of them are children.

The goal is to terrorize federal workers into quitting. That’s it. Constant changes. Canceling work from home then closing offices. Laying off probationary employees. It’s designed to break the government. Then privatize it for profit. It’s not efficiency. It’s collapse. Only peasants will suffer.

President Zelenskyy showed more backbone and self-respect in one Oval Office meeting than the entire GOP has collectively demonstrated over the last 9 years.

Generations of American patriots, from our revolution onward, have fought for the principles Zelenskyy is risking his life to defend. But today, Donald Trump and JD Vance attacked Zelenskyy and pressured him to surrender the freedom of his people to the KGB war criminal who invaded Ukraine.

It’s who our government is for.
Should it work mainly for big corporations and billionaires, including the richest person in the world — or for the rest of us?
