The original version of the book said that Epstein was involved in introducing Melania to her beloved husband.

Johnson: "It's true that in previous shutdowns, many or most furloughed employees have been paid for the time they were furloughed, but there is new legal analysis - I don't know the details, I just saw a headline - but there are some legal analysts saying that might not be appropriate or necessary"

Russian Telegram channels report a fire on the roof of Ural Turbine plant in Russian Yekaterinburg.

The plant produces equipment for energy infrastructure, including nuclear power plants, thermal power plants and ships with nuclear installations.

Adam Schiff- Harvard Law School
Pam Bondi- some small Florida law school

And she has the nerve asking Schiff if he is a lawyer????

CNN: “An older couple making $85K/year will see their yearly insurance premiums jump from $7K to $25,000 — 30% of their income.” 😳#TrumpShutdown #TrumpHealthCareTax

Trump is deranged

National Guard Troops Are Outside Chicago And Could Be In Memphis Soon In Trump Crackdown

A screenshot of an X.com post by @ASFleischman , Andrew Fleischman, stating, "Trump pardoned 12 dudes who turned out to have molested children or possessed child pornography, and there seem to be a lot of others in his orbit," with a reply from @maddenfico , Bill Madden, saying, "Trump's former 'spiritual leader,' pedophile Robert Morris, being led away in handcuffs after being sentenced to only 6 months in prison for sexually abusing a 12-year-old girl. Trump will probably end up giving him the Presidential Medal of Freedom. ," accompanied by an image of two men, one in a cowboy hat and sheriff uniform, escorting another man, with a building entrance in the background.

If it prays with pedos, is friends with pedos, and pardons pedos…

R: Why not now?

J: Uh - we'll schedule it, I guess, as soon as she wants

A shocking incident is raising alarms: ICE agents were reportedly on rooftops “shooting rubber bullets” at peaceful protesters who were simply “standing there flipping them off.”
