Dear Media,
When JD Vance says "take the country back," what do you think he means? What would the party that controls the White House, Congress, the Supreme Court, and various state goats—plus leading businesses, media orgs, and more—take back? Take what from whom?
Thanks,

On DOGE’s watch, federal spending did not go down at all. It went up. But is still led to cuts that closed offices, canceled programs and deprived people of food, medicine and other aid.

This is critically important. Democrats need to pass it if they retake Congress. Trump will veto it. So pass it again. Campaign on it. Given current polling, corruption of the FBI, and the brutality of ICE and BP, there’s no better time to say, “Federal police are not above the law.”
Restoring Bivens rights: one bill "would allow citizens to sue for damages resulting from constitutional violations committed by federal officers," while the other "would create a cause of action against federal law enforcement agencies and police depts for constitutional violations."
These congressmen want to give you the right to sue federal law enforcement for violating your rights
The proposed bills aim to codify a 1971 Supreme Court ruling that allowed individuals to sue the feds for Fourth Amendment violations.

Ah, the Epstein/Nassar letter seems to be a fake. Makes sense.
We already knew this letter existed. Now we know FBI doubted its authenticity. Rolling Stone reported in 2023 on a letter addressed to Nassar, purportedly sent by Epstein, found weeks after his death (Sept. 2019). In July 2020, per the latest files dump, the FBI sent it out for handwriting analysis.
Jeffrey Epstein Wrote Fellow Pedophile Larry Nassar a Letter Before His Death
Jeffrey Epstein tried to contact fellow pedophile and admitted sexual abuser Larry Nassar via mail in the days before his death by suicide.
