I strongly disagree. A "no" vote on Blanche is ABSOLUTELY a step in the right direction to support Epstein survivors. Blanche violated the survivors YET AGAIN with how he handled the files. It's a slap in the face to survivors, women, and children to move forward with Blanche.

Incredible nonsense from John Cornyn. True, the harm to Epstein’s victims can’t be remedied by a “no” vote. But why should Blanche’s corrupt cover-up of the Epstein files—in violation of a Congressional mandate(!)—be rewarded by “yes”? Can’t get any more craven than this.

Thanks for that! Only in TrumpWorld could a company already in junk bond status taking on a $79 billion debt load be thought to be sound business practice. It's going to cost them roughly half a billion dollars a month just to service the debt if this goes through. It's madness.

It’s important to understand that when 1.2 million Americans are dying from a disease, any government action is excessive and tyrannical, but if a dozen trans women want to play soccer no government action can go far enough

REPUBLICANS POKED THE BEAR They used gerrymandering to weaken Black voting power. New data shows they helped drive higher Black voter turnout in parts of the South instead. 📌 Alabama saw one of the biggest increase in Black voter mobilization. That will matter in @dougjones.bsky.social gov race.

People have been rightly focusing on how Trump blaming Walz for the cyber attacks from Iran is disgusting & unpatriotic. But a bigger problem is that it signals to our adversaries that they can attack Americans with impunity, as long as Trump sees them as political enemies.

"You don't charge first and then figure it out. You get the information first and then charge. ...So it's a true embarrassment for Jeanine Pirro. It's a true embarrassment for DOJ. And they brought it on themselves."

He says he "gets nothing" from this settlement. IRS is barred from auditing him and his family, worth $100 million. The convicted Jan 6 rioters were already pardoned, so why does he need a taxpayer bill to pay them, while the Capitol Police, five of whom died, get nothing?
