Ok I’m at EWR waiting to fly to ORD. All day.
Incoming plane landed 20 mins ago.
The PILOT 🧑✈️ of our flight just got on the speaker of the terminal to us sitting:
“Folks it’s going to be 45 min taxi due to one air traffic controller and it will be a bumpy ride” he’s based in Chicago.

Strictly speaking, he’s the husband of Noem’s SPOKESPERSON, Tricia Laughlin.
So, that’s three people splitting around $130 million (not all $220 million went to the LLC - there’s no RECORD of who got the remaining $90 million. It’s a SECRET. “National emergency” at the border, dontcha know.

Watching the Epstein survivor admit that she voted for Trump really fucked with my head. The brainwashing against the left that apparently people endure from birth, must be way deeper than I ever imagined. A victim voting for a rapist, who has also been accused by 26 other women? Over a woman? WTAF?

Great news that the Senate has passed the bill forcing the DOJ to release its Epstein file. Now Bondi must comply. But our work cannot stop there. We need to force the Treasury to release the Epstein bank records too. I have a bill to make that happen. FOLLOW THE MONEY.

Pay attention to how Mike Johnson is trying to shift the narrative today - he’s saying some Epstein files can’t be released because they’re intelligence products and would harm national security.
