“It was supposed to be a celebratory milestone, the final step in the process to obtain U.S. permanent residency. Instead, as each interview with an immigration officer wrapped up, federal agents swooped in, handcuffed the foreign spouse and took him or her away.”

I think the best part of MTG’s resignation video is how she prattles on about all that’s wrong with MAGA and American politics as though she’s the only person who’s noticed all that’s wrong with MAGA and American politics…

"The email in question described an encounter at Epstein’s home, where the interaction may have included more than babysitting tips. Further, contextualizing this email by noting which girl it involved is a strange way to respond to a 'fake' document."
