RFK JR: There are many other confirmations -- there are two studies that show children who are circumcised early have double the rate of autism. It’s highly likely because they are given Tylenol

"It’s no joke. Two Democratic governors saying they expect to be imprisoned by the president — not for illegal acts but for their defiance of Trump’s authoritarian aims," writes columnist Rochelle Olson.

Olson: If Trump comes for Pritzker, he comes for all of us

"Republicans, we’re begging: Stand up for our governors," Rochelle Olson writes.

NN: Dems say you won't swear in Grijalva bc you don't want her vote on Epstein

JOHNSON: No. It's scheduling

NN: But there have been Rs sworn in during pro forma sessions

MJ: Only reason was bc they flew in their family

NN: So if she flies in her family you'd do it?

MJ: Again, it's a distraction

Mike Johnson’s abrupt closure of the House had more to do with stalling a congressional investigation into Jeffrey Epstein’s sex trafficking operation than previously reported, and it appears to have been a direct response to the Treasury’s surrender of Epstein’s financial records.

SCOOP: Johnson closed House hours after Congress received Epstein’s financial records

The decision to shut down the House — and by extension the government — came hours after the Oversight Committee received documents from the US Treasury.

Schiff: "You begin to wonder -- do they believe they have the authority by putting some groups on a list, even domestic groups, to use lethal force against them, with no trial, no due process, no nothing? The reality is we can't rule that out."

If people preventing the Epstein files from being released are named in them, or trying to indefinitely delay their release at the direction of some who is named, how is that not obstruction?
Add it to the growing list of illegal behavior by the Regime.
