The White House has been caught.
The administration inserted a photo of Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson, and Diana Ross into the Epstein files and falsely implied it showed them with victims.
In reality, it’s a publicly available fundraiser photo featuring Jackson and Ross’s own children.

Imagine trying to convince someone a decade ago that this sentence would be a 100% literally accurate description of the American political situation.
The attorney general and the FBI director, a manosphere podcaster bro, pulled into the situation room a member of Congress best known for getting kicked out of a Beetlejuice musical for drunkenly giving her date a handy, in order to pressure her about the president's child sex trafficking scandal.

You don’t invite people to the Situation Room to try to bully them into removing their name from a discharge petition because you are innocent. Just saying.

Here’s the thing: Pam Bondi is not the Attorney General. She’s really not. She’s Donald Trump’s personal lawyer. That’s all.

Jesus Christ! Does this asshole ever say ANYTHING that is truthful???
Holy shit.

Mike Johnson lies shamelessly on CNN: "We have many ideas on how to bring down the cost of healthcare, to continue to do that, and we've already demonstrated it in the working families tax cut. We had real reforms to Medicaid that have brought down the cost and saved about $185b for taxpayers."

I for one think the Epstein Ballroom will be magnificent. I love the decor theme of “what if Uday Hussein ran a Ramada Inn.” And giving it a theme song everyone will associate with it is a stroke of brilliance! “Thank Heaven for Little Girls” is very catchy.

Democrats want a government funding bill that won't raise your health care costs by 75%.
Trump won't even meet with them.
He’s shutting the government down and making health care even more expensive for families.
What a bad deal for America.

Your & others limited, stuttering comments of truth amongst the praise is inadequate- yes you were praising him, go back & watch because the idea you limited it as to why he was popular just w MAGA is laughable at best. I come to this program for honesty no matter how tough & you buried it today
Every single person on the show noted how the things Kirk said were awful. I noted his smiling persona as an innovation that made him popular with MAGA folks and even his opponents - not because I approved of it.
But I realize we're all supposed to be shouting partisans.

RFK Jr. rolled out that old chestnut again about how healthy Americans were in the 60’s, so here’s a fact check.
In 1965:
-42% of American adults smoked; it’s 11% now.
-The infant morality rate was 24.7/1000; it’s 5.6/1000 now.
-Overall life expectancy was 70 years; it's about 77 years now.

Every time your electricity bill goes up for the next 10 years, it can be traced back to this Administration’s actions.
They are making solar and wind power illegal to build in the United States. They are artificially restricting supply while demand is going up.

WILD situation in Texas right now: The House Speaker has required Dems, who just returned from their out-of-state quorum break, to have police escorts once they leave the chamber. One Dem is refusing to leave the House floor with escort, and GOP leaders have blocked press access to the chamber.
