Around the world, politicians and businessmen are resigning from their positions because of the Epstein Files.

Except in the United States.

Here: Zero shame, zero consequences.

We need resignations, investigations, impeachments, and punishments now. Should have been years ago.

Hey @MarshaBlackburn is it the lyrics @timmiller.bsky.social told @davidfrenchjag.bsky.social about? Or is it the “grass on the field play ball” line about 14yo Olsen Twins that has you most excited about Kid Rock and the TP USA halftime show?

A prominent liberal journalist and author comes in to try to rationally debate it. 300 likes, 25K views.

In a healthy info environment, these two things wouldn’t be interacting
