🚨 Rep. Thomas Massie just exposed a hidden Epstein list.

He says the FBI has been sitting on files naming 20 more men tied to Epstein’s sex trafficking ring — including a high-profile U.S. official.

And Kash Patel? Massie says he lied to the American people.

We’re watching an entire political party actively protect the single most infamous sex-trafficking operation of our time.

This isn’t just silence—it’s complicity at the highest level.

Is there a better indication of how superficial and unhelpful mainstream media has become than that they are cutely musing about whether the domestic terrorist who changed "The Department of Defense" to "The Department of War" will get a Nobel Peace Prize—instead of reporting the fascism/terrorism.

If you rename the Department of Defense the Department of War, then bomb fishing boats in the Caribbean, and shoot an unarmed priest in the head with a pepper bullet, you should automatically be barred from receiving the Nobel Peace Prize for the rest of your life.

A federal grand jury indicted Letitia James on Thursday, according to a person familiar with the matter.

This is in spite of the fact that she indicated TWICE on the mortgage application that the home was not going to be her primary residence.

I knew Fox News was theater. I just didn't realize it was a repertory theater that recycles actors for different roles.

You'd think a company that had to pay $787,000,000 for deceiving its viewers would be a little more careful about blatantly continuing the practice.

Trump wants to punish Democrats for fighting for health care by cutting "Democrat programs."

Let me say that again: Trump wants to hurt Americans—by gutting essential public services—so that Democrats will give up their fight for Americans' health care.

We’re not giving up.

Fun fact. The House of Representatives only needs a majority present to have a quorum

If the democrats can convince a few republicans to show up, they can start passing legislation without the rest of the republicans present

That would at least force the GOP back to Washington
