Margaret Brennan has absolutely debased herself since CBS News leadership changed. No serious outlet can ever hire her.
Margaret Brennan to Tom Suozzi: "Can you explain the focus this past week in the House by Democrats on the Jeffrey Epstein files? Is this a tactic to distract from the failure to extract healthcare changes?"

What is the innocent explanation for why Trump is trying to stop the Epstein files from being released?

Sometimes a person just cranks out a sentence your brain has been looking for, my god
The Epstein case against Trump is as if everyone is looking at a 500 piece puzzle with 2 pieces missing and pretending they can't make out the picture for certain.

It needs to be so crystal clear to these people that “I was just following orders” will not be a defense on January 20, 2029 at 12:01pm. Everyone needs to say it all the time. There will be an after.
Breaking News: A secret Justice Department memo approving the Trump administration’s boat strikes is said to rely on the president’s claims about drug cartels.

Extremely important that this man is booed out of every room he walks into the rest of his life
JD Vance: "A lot of young people are saying housing is way too expensive. Why is that? Because we flooded the country with 30 million illegal immigrants who were taking houses that ought by right go to American citizens."

They have already reached “all of these girls had been through puberty” so I have to imagine the evidence is substantial that Trump was a participant
Megyn Kelly: "I know somebody very close to this case…Jeffrey Epstein, in this person's view, was not a pedophile…He was into the barely legal type, like he liked 15 year old girls…He wasn't into like 8 year olds…There's a difference between a 15 year old and a 5 year old."

The incredible damning emails we are seeing today isn’t even the stuff DOJ is hiding. A world-bending scandal. Should be all anyone talks about until he flees for Elba.

The evidence we have already seen, combined with Trump’s behavior about it, makes it very clear the president is implicated in something reprehensible and should resign. It is not too late for GOP members of Congress to save their souls.

In the century leading up to 1975, nearly 6000 freighters went down in the Great Lakes.
The Edmund Fitzgerald was the last.
The last. In 50 years, not a single commercial freighter has been lost in the Great Lakes.
Why?
It's NOAA. Of course it's NOAA.

Good news for these senators is they won’t need to fly to Washington anymore once their terms are up
Anyway a great way to radicalize people is for them to realize that you just abandoned their chance at being able to access and afford health care because you didn’t like waiting in line at the airport.

Post after post of furloughed feds telling Dems to hold the line and this is what their senator has to say to them. Resign.

It’s not going to be left versus center. It will be fighters vs capitulators. Big tent for anyone willing to fight.
I think Senate folders are significantly underestimating how fucking angry Democratic voters are at them

I’m a federal employee who was furloughed and just missed my second full paycheck. I have two young kids, so it’s tough.
It’s hard but DAMN worth it. Hold the line.
Capitulating now puts all that folks have sacrificed to this point in the trash bin.

If you do not have the spine for this, no shame, but you have to resign and let someone else take the seat. World history is dancing on the head of a pin, no weak links.

On every measure, Dems are winning the public battle over the shutdown. Trump is begging SCOTUS to let him starve people. Crushed them in elections last week.
Welp, flight was delayed gotta cave.

Dems backed Trump into a corner where he’s advocating for starving Americans and hemorrhaging support. If they vote to let him off the hook in exchange for nothing it’s a cataclysmic failure. I know people are in pain but insulating Republicans from political consequences is not the answer.

Surreal watching Fox broadcast having a cutesy interview with Trump during this game. Talking with him like he’s some teddy bear. Ends with Trump saying “I’d love to have your job someday.” Going to have a stroke.
