It's not just social media. Looks like visitors to the US from Europe and other countries that are part of the visa waiver program will have to submit an enormous amount of data about themselves and their families, including DNA, if proposed new rules are accepted

Republicans currently hold a very slender majority in the House. Control of the House determines whether subpoenas will be issued to hear from witnesses & obtain additional evidence to provide context for the Epstein pictures that were released this morning.

This should be the biggest story in the country right now. The sitting US President was extorting state lawmakers from his own party by threatening to withhold public money if they didn’t gerrymander for him.

The GOP just blocked extending the ACA subsidies - again.
Making people’s healthcare skyrocket while you control the White House and both chambers of Congress seems like a great move for the midterms.

Instead, denial and he launched into a full-blown racist rant. Nothing real about inflation.
