“Clinton is in the Epstein files!”

Great. Next time I come across a Clinton rally, someone wearing a Clinton hat, or flying a Clinton flag on their truck, I’ll be sure to let them know.

The rest of us want them ALL held accountable because we aren’t in a cult. Hope that helps.

To be clear, this should be one of the biggest scandals to ever reach the presidency.

DOJ - after illegally scrubbing Trump from the Epstein files - is retroactively removing files they missed that would be embarrassing to the President.

It’s a complete affront to Justice.

Bari Weiss compounded her incompetence in killing the 60 Minutes CECOT story with even MORE incompetence in allowing the story to run in Canada

And good luck to everyone else who works at CBS

You’re gonna need it
After killing the CECOT story in the USA, CBS goofed and aired it in Canada. Now, as Canadians are uploading it to YouTube, CBS is filing copyright violations to block its further release.

But it's too late. Under Bari Weiss, CBS is state run media desperately cosplaying as legitimate journalism.

Curious to learn more about CECOT?

Hear Juan, Andry, and Wilmer share firsthand how the Trump administration branded them as gang members without evidence and deported them to the brutal El Salvadoran prison.

5% of the population generates 50% of healthcare spending.

The GOP solution to cutting healthcare spending in half is to simply let that 5% die.

The only flaw in their reasoning (aside from a total lack of ethics and morality) is that sooner or later nearly everyone ends up being part of that 5%.

Fun fact: It’s easy to keep premiums low when you only have to insure healthy people.
LANKFORD: In 2010, before Obamacare kicked in, the normal healthcare premium was $215.

HUNT: Right. But insurance companies could refuse to cover you for a preexisting condition

LANKFORD: That's true.

House Republicans were on paid vacation for two months and couldn’t be bothered to come up with a real plan to stop costs from skyrocketing for 24 million Americans. Speaker Johnson won’t even hold a vote.

Hard to escape the conclusion that they don’t care.

Everything that is happening in the U.S. House of Representatives right now comes down to one thing:

Republicans can’t govern.

But also:

Republicans don’t care if children won’t be able to see a doctor when they’re sick.

The price of owning the libs is children’s lives.

CALL all GOP in Congress
Make this uncomfortable to go on vacation for 2 weeks
Get loud

That Capitol switchboard number is (202) 224-3121 and provide the operator with the name, Speaker Mike Johnson, and <your Republican Congressional Rep.>

Explain:
• healthcare, food & housing costs
• NO NEW WARS
"House rules, seven legislative days need to lapse before a bill, discharged by such a petition, comes to the floor. The House, however, is only scheduled to be in session until Friday, before lawmakers head home for a two-week holiday recess. ...unless Johnson attempts to expedite it to the floor."
