I wouldn't begin to know how those agents read all of the sick things Trump did to children and felt they should cooperate with hiding them.
They must not have kids themselves.
No job or salary is...

Interesting take from a guy who is the grandson of immigrants.
Imagine watching Sinatra, son of Dolly & Antonini born in Genoa & Sicily, respectively, and Martin, son of Gaetano & Angela, born in Montesilvano, Italy & Ohio respectively, (Angela to parents born in Monasterolo, Italy), and crusading against the value of children of immigrants to the U.S.

Let's get fucking clear.
His voters are *not* "half the country."
According to one calculation based on a U.S. population of approximately 340.1 million, Trump's votes represent roughly 23% of the total population.
That is the truth.
We're being ruled by maybe 25% of the US.
And we outnumber them.

Jack Smith is calling for the House Judiciary Committee to release the recording of his full closed-door deposition before the panel.
"Doing so will ensure that the American people can hear the facts directly from Mr. Smith, rather than through second-hand accounts."

America needs an Attorney General who:
1) will read a law,
2) understand what she is reading, and
3) comply with it.
That doesn't seem like too much to ask, does it?

Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse;
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,
And 1 million Epstein files appeared from thin air

Here I thought it was just going to be a floating casino!
President Donald Trump announced a new class of battleships to build out what he has dubbed the Navy's "Golden Fleet" that he says will be "the fastest, the biggest, and by far -- 100 times -- more powerful than any battleship ever built."

I want to know how many of those people have already paid back a lot more than they borrowed in the first place. Those loans should be forgiven.
The Trump administration will begin seizing the pay of people in default on their student loans early next year, marking the first wave of new wage garnishments since the pandemic.

For those that haven't figured it out yet, especially the media.
If Trump is comfortable summarily executing, murdering, 104 civilians using our Navy, tearing down part of OUR White House, killing our economy with his tariffs, killing our insurance
Why would he care about hiding the Epstein files?
