Reminder why Trump wanted to be President again:
1. Escape criminal charges for committed crimes incl. insurrection & stealing national security secrets
2. Line his pockets w/riches only made possible by being President
3. Retribution against *all *perceived enemies
That's it.

David Brooks, who wrote in the NYT last month, "The Epstein Story? Count Me Out" is... in the latest Epstein photo dump published by @oversightdemocrats.house.gov.
He should absolutely be fired by NYT for this. Major conflict of interest that he didn't disclose.

Say it loud! Don’t let politicians come between people and their doctors. Period!
To all the young people in New York and across our country who count on gender-affirming care:
I won't let this administration come for you, your doctors, or your lifesaving health care.
Your health care is still legal and protected.
I'll always fight for you.

But they've rolled back child labor laws and environmental protections, blocked gun safety reform, and spread lies about vaccines that save children from deadly diseases.

Court records reveal that the Admin--vengeful crazies that they are--added a 3rd charge to the 3rd indictment of James that the GJ rejected. But it's even worse. It looks as if they just abandoned the core allegation of collecting rent to say instead that she promised to live there but didn't.
