Within hours of the bill’s passage, advocates filed a legal challenge aiming to block it.

Frost: He knows they can't win, so he wants to cheat. The same thing he's done his entire life. But I'll tell you something else I feel really good about, is what California's doing. They're saying we're not gonna let you do this without a fight.

So just to be clear - the “protect the kids” party is now shutting the government down to protect sexual predators? Do we have this right?

In a striking departure from his previous calls for transparency, House Speaker Mike Johnson announced that he would not ask for a vote on whether the files about accused sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein should be released.

Were Christian nationalists behind the flip-flop?

My penny-thought:
The Project 2025/Rich White Guy Club can't control Trump.
They needed a fool to be their poster boy for their political coup. They chose Trump. He has name recognition. He's stupid. He's arrogant. He loves to have his fragile ego stroked, and they thought they could handle him.

With the Epstein specter haunting Cheesus, I think it's a good time to remind those just now burning their flags and red hats of this thing that apparently wasn't a deal-breaker for them:
Jan. 6 rioters pardoned by Trump had criminal records www.npr.org/2025/01/30/n...
Criminal records of Jan. 6 rioters pardoned by Trump include rape, domestic violence
