Romney: "I long opposed increasing the income level on which FICA employment taxes are applied (this year, the cap is $176,100). No longer; the consequences of the [social security] cliff have changed my mind."

Ghislaine Maxwell officially filed her motion in federal court to vacate her criminal conviction.
She alleges "government duplicity" in her prosecution (Trump will love that) and cites items released by Epstein estate.
She's made it clear people in this admin were implicated, so who will help her?
