For at least 3 years, Sen Wyden of Oregon and his staff "have undertaken to understand Epstein’s sex trafficking network through his financial transactions with some of the world’s largest banks and powerful men."
Portland, of course, is in Oregon.

Mike Johnson’s abrupt closure of the House had more to do with stalling a congressional investigation into Jeffrey Epstein’s sex trafficking operation than previously reported, and it appears to have been a direct response to the Treasury’s surrender of Epstein’s financial records.

SCOOP: Johnson closed House hours after Congress received Epstein’s financial records

The decision to shut down the House — and by extension the government — came hours after the Oversight Committee received documents from the US Treasury.

Computer says no, American presidents do not have plenary authority. It's that pesky checks and balances thingy that prevails.

Today's word is plenary authority.
plenary authority | Wex | US Law | LII / Legal Information Institute share.google/E3GPEbFBmWNn...

Plenary authority is power that is wide-ranging, broadly construed, and often limitless for all practical purposes. When used with respect to public officials, the more popular term is plenary power.

Newsom: "I don't think Trump wants another election." Trump doesn’t believe in free & fair elections.

"This guy doesn't believe in free and fair elections,"he tried to wreck this country. Were you there? Jan. 6."

“He tried to light democracy on fire”

The South Shore of #Chicago is a neighborhood near Lake Michigan. This apartment building is ~1 mile from the South Shore Cultural Center & very close to the new Obama Library.

The day after the Fed's overnight raid, the investors were in court trying to acquire the building. 👇
🧵

The building was purchased by Wisconsin-based investor Trinity Flood in January 2020, according to Cook County records. On October 1, the day after the raid, a judge reviewed an emergency motion from Wells Fargo seeking to appoint Matthew Tarshis of Frontline Real Estate Partners as the
property's receiver. Flood purchased three multifamily properties in South Shore in 2020. The neighborhood, which had the highest number of eviction filings in Chicago from 2015-2019 according to the Law Center for Better Housing, has seen a rise in outside real estate investors since the 2017 announcement of the Obama Presidential Center's construction in the neighboring Jackson Park.

Pritzker: “The Trump administration is following a playbook: Cause chaos, create fear and confusion, make it seem that peaceful protesters are a mob by firing gas pellets and tear gas canisters at them. Why? To create the pretext for invoking the Insurrection Act.”

Who's going to be the one in his Administration to tell this moron, that the United States has held elections during every war we were involved in. The Constitution does not give pause to our elections during war time.

They do not take these proceedings seriously and certainly feel like there is no world where they will have to answer for their willing incompetence. “Laws are for thee, not for me”

Look for Trump to escalate foreign and domestic violence as more Epstein files are handed over to the House Oversight committee by the Epstein estate.

The sprawl is wide and deep with PedoPOTUS as the ring leader
