Rampant mosquitoes swarming the tents. Leaks after summer rainstorms. Excessive heat. And hurricane season around the corner. This is life in "Alligator Alcatraz."

Epstein survivor Sarah Ransome on Ghislaine Maxwell: “It makes me sick that she is claiming to be a victim. This is the same woman that grabbed my arm and forced me into a room to be raped by Jeffrey. She had this evil smirk on her face. And she enjoyed it.”

Gotta hand it to Welker on this one.

STOP SENDING MY FUCKING TAXES TO ISRAEL

Lindsey Graham gets called-out. A glorious moment. More of this, please.

"Are you trying to re-write history to distract from the Epstein matter, Senator?"

Yeah.. he's illiterate..

Kelly: And there are a lot of people in D.C. who’ve forgotten what this symbol truly means.

I’m ashamed that so many “Christians” agree with his statement. It’s embarrassing and disgusting and I know Jesus Christ doesn’t approve.

Meiselas: Mar-A-Lago was used as the grounds in cases to sex traffic underage girls. And this isn't me being conspiratorial... it's documented.

REPORTER: The formal request was sent to your office in February

Hmm

Kristi Noem must resign now.
