A true treasure for the current American people. We are proud of our country which is why we are concerned by what we have become. We're capable of doing greater things ✨️. Why do we allow others to diffuse our brilliance?

He’s not hiding his medical records because he’s healthy, and he’s not hiding the Epstein files because he’s innocent.

What say you, MTG?
If Marjorie Taylor Greene *really* cared about the Epstein victims, she would read the names of the perpetrators on the House floor (where she would have immunity) before she leaves office.

It has been 395 days of continuous demonstrations in Georgia’s capital, Tbilisi. Our citizens demand the resignation of Georgia's mostly illegitimate and pro-Russian government, the release of political prisoners, and the return to a pro-European course.

I don't understand how anyone could be OK with this. It doesn't make the country stronger. It doesn't make us better. It doesn't make America any better than any other strongman state.
If this is true, it is the most impeachable offense ever.

Miller and Trump want to fuel bigotry. Like dictators before him, Trump’s road to tyranny is paved with stones hurled at “them.” His entire project depends on hate.

When the job is writing in the third person but you like yourself too much and can't.
This is incredibly dangerous.
Trump is now calling the New York Times a national security threat and says they “must be dealt with and stopped.”

“This document proves if the FBI had done its job in 1996, Epstein’s decades-long sex trafficking operation could have been stopped at the outset... the FBI’s negligence allowed Epstein to continue abusing hundreds of girls and young women for nearly 25 more years.”

Instead of going through the time and tedium of subpoenas, hearings, and due process, Congress should just do as the Pentagon does: acting on a vague hunch without any evidence, declare that Pam Bondi is a "narco-terrorist" and bust some doors down.

So they've apparently had 1000 agents working through the 300GB of Epstein files, and they've managed to release under 1% of them, and those wholly or heavily redacted.
Trump must feature in them an awful lot for the task to be so onerous.

A few reminders about the SCOTUS immunity decision for Presidents:
It does not provide immunity for prior crimes.
It does not provide immunity to the President's cabinet.
Similar to Roe v. Wade, it can be overturned in the future.
