According to documents released by House Oversight, David Blaine wrote immigration support letters for at least two of Epstein’s foreign associates/girlfriends.
A celebrity magician quietly acting as an administrative helper for Epstein is… a lot to process. He also kept Copperfield close

Did you know that before Nixon and Reagan, health insurance companies in America were non-profit? Yep, they screamed about "socialized medicine" and gradually shifted the focus of our entire healthcare system from public welfare to... making bucks off illness.

The dripping contempt the right wing SCOTUS majority holds for district judges is truly a sight to behold every time. When they deign to give actual reasons for their shadow docket holdings, it’s “look at the absolute idiots who keep getting everything wrong!”

I remember asking my late brother, who arguably had the highest clearance at DOJ, what would happen to him if he ever started blabbing in public about everything he knew. Without hesitation he said they'd lock him up for life in prison that doesn't permit visitors.

I have never been in the WH Situation Room.
I have been in many, 100+, SCIF level meetings.
I want it on the record, none of them were called to organize coverups of any crime, nor response plans to protect sex-trafficking nor pedophiles.
Anyone who took such a meeting, is bathed in evil.

He’s the only one of the entire Dem Congress calling them the pedophile protection party. The only one. He’s holding his caucus together. On this matter he should not be lumped in with that feckless Schumer. Period.
