Trump is at it again. Scribbling his signature on executive orders he didn't write and can't read. Twisting historic facts out of any recognizable shape. Trump has signed 272 executive orders in his second term so far. Biden signed 162 in his entire four years in office. So the Trump...1/3

. Isabel and Christine Maxwell Ghislaine’s sisters… were involved in tech companies whose software is used by the FBI. This means the family isn’t just in media they’re in systems that touch law enforcement & data. #EpsteinFiles #GhislaineMaxwell .

BASH: There's no question that Maduro was a destabilizing force in the region. People are celebrating in the streets all over. Is it fair to say there's some benefit in him not being in power? CHRIS MURPHY: What changes? You just heard Sen. Cotton not be able to explain who's running the country

Tactically done well by our military, strategically, political and probably unlawful stupidity by the administration. This is a mistake that once again will end up harming our country’s reputation already diminished by Trump. Distraction from Epstein. Tony

Here's one way to wrap your mind around the idea of a billionaire: If you make $100,000/yr AND you had worked every year of the 5,000 years of recorded human history AND you saved every penny, never spent a dime, WHY you'd be halfway to your first billion. All you'd have to do is... 1/2
