Transcript: Epstein Survivor Nukes Trump in Moving Speech as WH Panics
As pressure mounts on Trump and the GOP to release the Jeffrey Epstein files, a senior House Democrat explains why Republicans will have a very hard time maintaining the cover-up for much longer.
"Well, the rules committee Republicans are scared shitless of Donald Trump, to put it bluntly. They donโt want to do anything to offend him, and so theyโre part of the cover-up." HOW DO WE HOLD THESE REPUBLICANS ACCOUNTABLE?!

"'I'd respect you more if you told me you actually believe in this crap and that's why you were supporting the bill. But to tell me you don't believe in this stuff, you think it's going to hurt your own constituents, and vote for it anyway, that's cowardice.'"

Trump Tramples Congressโs Power, With Little Challenge From G.O.P.
"For nearly a century, Democratic and Republican presidents alike have sought to amass more power. What's different now is the degree of disdain Mr. Trump has shown for Congress and the willingness of G.O.P. leaders to defer to him even when it means undercutting their coequal branch of government."

Soldiers in MRAPs rolling around Union Stationโblocks from the Capitolโseems silly, performative, and useless.
But it raises a much darker question:
What would Trump have done on Jan. 6, 2021 if he had possessed then the kind of control over local law enforcement that he seeks to acquire today?

Girls... if we weren't worried before, we should be worried now. Yes, Doug Wilson is an asshat, but he's a major threat to our democracy. "Wilsonโs Executive Pastor would go so far as to say that the 19th Amendment should be repealed because our current voting system is not โgood for humansโ."
