Worth repeating this with every new Epstein document drop. The party of Denny Hastert is the party of Jim Jordan is the party of Matt Gaetz is the party of Donald Trump. Looking the other way and protecting child predators from the law is their brand.

“Epstein’s brother, Mark Epstein, told the FBI in 2023 that Epstein was murdered in his jail cell because he was about to ‘name names.’ Mark Epstein, 71, who has long believed that his brother was killed, also alleged in the tip that President Trump ‘authorized’ the late sex trafficker’s murder.”
Latest Epstein files name Trump multiple times
In the more than 10,000 files released Tuesday, Jeffrey Epstein’s brother, Mark Epstein, said the sex trafficker was killed because he was going to name co-conspirators.

“He raped me.”
“Donald J Trump had raped her along with Jeffrey Epstein.”
“She was found with her head ‘blown off’… there was no way it was a suicide.”
Now we’re starting to see why Trump was hiding the Epstein files, and it probably gets much worse.

kavanaugh not beating the allegations that he’s a dumbass
Brett Kavanaugh (September 2025): The facts and how they relate to the law don’t matter. Assume ICE and other federal forces always act with integrity, always respect rights, and consistently impose minimal burden.
Brett Kavanaugh (December 2025): Should I not have done that? Was that wrong?

Kavanaugh in a footnote in today's opinion says "the officers must not make interior immigration stops or arrests based on race or ethnicity."

A year since Trump's return to power, America's a far weaker nation, under relentless assault by its own president.
Weakening the United States, and democracies around the world, serves Trump's desire to increase his power and wealth. But Trump's the enemy of the nation he was elected to lead.

blue states should create escrow accounts into which citizens pay their federal taxes but are withheld by the state until the federal government stops acting like its only obligated towards states that support the maga agenda
Sean Duffy on blue states: "What I can do is I can pull their money. That's the leverage I do have ... I guarantee you that the federal taxpayer is not going to fund their roads and bridges and their systems when they are putting illegals on the roads."

If my daughter went there I'd never send her back to that school. Look at this statement. This guy needs to be fired and sued and someone needs to check his hard drive. If a 13 year old student tells you, an adult, that boys are sharing naked photos of you and you wave her off, you're the problem.

James Talarico: The Bible doesn't mention abortion or gay marriage, but it goes on and on about forgiving debt, liberating the poor, and healing the sick. The closest thing we have to the kingdom of heaven is a multiracial, multicultural democracy where power is truly shared among all people

All I'm saying is the Michigan haters have been right all along. This entire program is rotten to the core. Harbaugh established this culture and then peaced out when he was about to get busted. Dude is a menace.
NEWS: Security footage captured former Michigan co-offensive coordinator Matt Weiss minutes before he allegedly hacked college students’ personal accounts to steal sexually explicit photos and videos, an FBI search warrant affidavit alleges.
