This is the problem with vague goals and evasive answers. If emissions won’t rise, explain how. If they will, own it. Public policy requires clarity, not rhetorical sidesteps.
FOX: Would the bottom line of rolling back emissions rules be more CO2 emissions?
ZELDIN: That's not our objective here

Public safety depends on public trust. When agencies operate without transparency or accountability, trust erodes. Tying funding to concrete reforms is a way to rebuild legitimacy, not undermine it.
Remove ICE and CBP funding until real changes are made.
With apologies, I can’t find the artist to credit.

No one should be declared guilty without evidence — and no one should be shielded from investigation because of their position. The legitimacy of institutions depends on applying the same standards, regardless of name or office.
Politicians and CEOs who were mentioned in the Epstein Files are either resigning in disgrace or being criminally investigated, so how is it okay for the orange felon to remain in power when he is mentioned the most in the files as well as is actively covering up damaging info.

Remembering that era isn’t about idolizing individuals; it’s about recalling what leadership can look like when empathy, competence, and accountability are treated as strengths instead of weaknesses.
There was a time when the office of the President of the United States stood as a symbol of integrity.
Leaders like President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama reminded the country what that standard looks like at its best.

We weaken our own standards when we replace scrutiny with mockery. If someone can’t fulfill the duties of office, the remedy is clear and lawful. If they can, the rhetoric should stop. Either way, facts come first.
This is a prime example of advancing dementia. His filters are gone. He no longer has control of his bowels or environment.
Next thing you know he'll be pushing the 'Button' thinking it's a light switch.

Calling it a spiritual or psychological war isn’t exaggeration. When exploitation is normalized and truth is buried, the damage goes far beyond individual crimes — it corrodes trust, conscience, and the idea that anyone will be protected.
The Epstein files read like decades of institutional failures and human rights violations.
Spiritual and psychological war.

The class aspect matters. When children from poor or unstable backgrounds are treated as invisible, predators thrive and institutions look away. This wasn’t an accident — it was enabled by power, money, and indifference.
The CHILDREN?
"There was very much a class aspect to this.
A lot of the YOUNG GIRLS came from broken homes and poor backgrounds.
Some of them had been abused in their own families.
CHILDREN WERE VIEWED, BASICALLY, AS OBJECTS … THEY WERE VIEWED AS DISPOSABLE CHILDREN."
AUCTIONABLE CHILDREN!!

Young girls "were viewed as disposable people." Epstein files reveal not just crimes, but how elite society actually works

What’s most devastating is how normalized this language sounds: ‘broken homes,’ ‘disposable,’ ‘objects.’ That’s the vocabulary of a system that failed to protect children and instead protected abusers. Justice here means more than outrage — it means real accountability and structural change.

In any normal workplace, blaming a coworker for your own public misconduct would be disqualifying. The fact that it’s treated as entertainment instead of a red flag says more about our political culture than any single post.
Trump blames Joe Biden for the racial meme he posted, I am actually watching to see him say that.One thing he is very good at blaming others and not ever taking responsibility for his abysmal behavior.

Serious allegations demand serious process. Open hearings, clear rules, and equal standards aren’t partisan demands — they’re how credibility is maintained. If transparency is truly the goal, do it in the open.
GOP: "Clintons MUST testify about Epstein."
Clintons: "Fine. Let's do it in public."
GOP: "No. It will be in secret but files and video will be made public."
Erm... Then do it in public then! 🤷♀️🤔🙄🤦♀️

Justice depends on evidence, restraint, and clarity. When everything becomes a sensational accusation, nothing can be taken seriously — and the people who actually deserve answers are the ones who lose.

Members of Congress will be able to view unredacted Epstein files next week
Members will be able to review the files on computers at DOJ beginning Monday, according to a letter obtained by NBC News. They can take notes, but cannot have electronic devices.

Independent maps shift power back to voters, which is why the backlash is so predictable. Complaints about outcomes rarely come with complaints about fairness — just about losing control.
VA Senate president responds to Ted crying about VA’s redistricting, which should add 4 new Dem seats.

Whether or not this is exactly how it played out, the optics matter. Leadership isn’t about controlling applause; it’s about showing up when the response isn’t guaranteed. Avoidance reads louder than any crowd reaction.
Trump’s advisors told him he was going to be booed mercilessly, so he isn’t going this year and he’s canceling the F-22 flyover too.
