If you’re wondering why there’s a lull in the Epstein files discussion, it’s because the law that just passed gave Pamela Jo 30 days to release the files. So we’re all waiting to see how she tries to sabotage it. The discussion will pick back up in earnest on December 20th.

This should send shivers down the spine of Republican and Democratic members of Congress alike.

It's a 'perspective' not capable of negotiating for true U.S. interests.

Notice that a lot of what you’re buying for Thanksgiving costs way more?

You can thank Trump for that—because instead of doing anything to lower YOUR costs, he's been focused on building himself a ballroom.
