This is Alice's story:

Let me just say it again: he can’t cancel the midterms. Elections are administered by states.
He can’t do it. Stop telling people he can do it.
Telling people their votes don’t matter based on absolutely false fantasizing by the demented sociopath is doing the work of voter suppression for him.

The letter from Bill and Hillary Clinton to James Comer explaining their refusal to testify in his Epstein investigation is really remarkable, not like any letter of this genre I've seen. It's signed by them, not a lawyer, and the arguments are not legal ones. Reprinted from their X account:

ICE and CBP agents are responsible for the statutory offenses they're committing.
But *just one monster* established the 3,000 arrests/day quota that couldn't possibly be met without turning America into a fascist state.

Senators urged Apple and Google to remove X and Grok from app stores over sexual deepfakes
