😱😱😱 And just like that, it’s completely VANISHED from the media. A sitting congressman, Ted Lieu, said on the record the Epstein files are being blocked because they show Trump raped and threatened to kill children. Lets make this viral again πŸ‘‡

Trump said something outside a press gaggle that I don’t think enough people caught. A reporter called him out on the corruption. He gave three responses. 1. I have the right to do it. 2. He’s not stealing that much. A billion or two billion dollars. Not that much money. Classic Trump. 3. People don’t care. That’s the permission structure. Our collective apathy is what they’re using to justify everything happening in Washington right now. Please stand up and prove him wrong.

Republican-appointed judge: β€œThe Court is not aware of another occasion in the history of the United States in which a federal court has had to threaten contempt β€” again and again and again β€” to force the United States government to comply with court orders.”

The inflation rate in Biden's last month in office was 2.9%. Trump (supported by a Republican Congress) has driven it up to 4.2%. Thank you, voters, for your attention to this matter. wapo.st/3S2PCeA

If you’re not already following @TeamTalaricoHQ, I highly recommend. And stay tuned
This is Ken Paxton's mugshot. He was indicted on 3 felony counts for investment fraud. He was reported to the FBI by his own staff for bribery. He was impeached by his own party for corruption. Now he’s the Republican nominee for US Senate in Texas. Together we will stop him.

🚨 JUST IN β€” Thomas Massie concedes the race: β€œI would've come out sooner, but I had to call my opponent and concede.” β€œAnd it took a while to find Ed Gallrein in Tel Aviv.” That line is going to detonate across Washington. Massie just turned his concession speech into a missile aimed directly at the flood of outside money and foreign policy influence that consumed this race. The most expensive House primary in U.S. history ends with one final message: This wasn’t just Kentucky voting. This was the political establishment making an example out of someone who refused to fall in line.

Just circulated on SSRN: If Roe, Then Buckley. The essay is a challenge to the originalists: The method that motivated overturning Roe, applied consistently, means Buckley must go. Never have "We, the People" said billionaires have the right to control our politicians. buff.ly/E3qXQKP
