They had better stick with it.

Be relentless.
Be brutal.
Never concede.

Stonewall them on everything.
And I mean everything.

I don't care if they're just naming another post office.

Stonewall it.

Trump would have fired federal workers anyway. This is extortion - Republicans want to cut healthcare for millions of Americans in exchange for re-opening the government. Dems should not fall for this blackmail.

A few of the notes staff took for Epstein about Copperfield reaching out to him 👇

Amber Speaks Up @amberspeaks.bsky.social · 22d

One woman told The Guardian she first met Copperfield in 1991 when she was 15 and he stayed in contact through phone calls.
She said they later had consensual sex when she turned 18 but believes she was groomed. Copperfield’s lawyers acknowledged the relationship but denied any grooming took place.

Worth noting: Magician David Copperfield was listed in Epstein’s phone directory or “black book.” He has faced sexual assault allegations from at least 16 women, some who say they were underage and groomed. In 2018, he denied historical allegations of sexual misconduct.

AN AGENT FOR MURDER: This felon is not worthy of a Peace Prize. A man who wages war on his own people, who bribes world leaders for accolades, and who demands the glory of peace while spreading death — is the opposite of what a Nobel stands for.

You can’t bribe your way to peace. You earn it through humanity and Trump has none
