Why would Jeffrey Epstein kill himself in jail if he had this much leverage of the one person who could give him a full pardon?

If this picture was of Obama, you know @FoxNews would do three weeks solid on why the flag was on the ground.

At least three weeks

KARL: The president claims that Thanksgiving costs are down 25%. Does he know that's not true?

HASSETT: Well if you look at Walmart--

KARL: Wait a minute. I've gotta stop you. The Walmart package this year contains much less than the one last year. That's why the price is less.

Since 2020, I have been fighting for mail-in voting and the GOP has been fighting against it. A critical court case is now going before the U.S. Supreme Court. I can assure you that I will be there fighting hard to ensure every lawful ballot counts.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.

The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.

People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.

And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 94th day out of the last 106.

12 days of work in 106 days.

With full pay and benefits.

The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.

It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

The President wants to use the military to crack down on Americans who are exercising their 1st Amendment rights to oppose him. I can’t think of a better reason to insist on exercising those rights.

Nuclear testing isn’t something you greenlight in a post, but turning national security into a fear show is how authoritarians rule.

NFL announces Sting will headline Super Bowl-branded concert amid Bad Bunny controversy The "Every Breath You Take" singer will perform in San Francisco as part of a two-night extravaganza two days before Bad Bunny's halftime show.

Sting is not American, unlike Bad Bunny, who is American. Will there be an uproar from the Right? No?
