Two days ago, signing a petition to release the Epstein files was a treasonous act. Only 4 House Republicans were willing to do it. They were pressured, threatened and harassed by Trump to remove their name.

Tomorrow, they are all going to vote for it.

Spineless cowards.

Still honoring her oath against threats. #SheIsAVeteran not a sucker or loser. She defended innocents against the terrorists. 🇺🇸 1/2

The Epstein Scandal Is Now a Chronic Disease of the Trump Presidency Read the e-mails—this isn’t going away anytime soon.

Leavitt, this week: "President Trump kicked him out because Jeffrey Epstein was a pedophile and he was a creep."

Trump, asked in 2019 if he had “any suspicions” that Epstein was molesting underage women: "No, I had no idea. I had no idea."

Poor Tim! Someone needs to fix that!

Rep. Massie is being polite, as he should be, and is trying to get more Republican votes for the discharge petition, as he should be doing.

But the truth is, I think, that Trump is trying to protect himself.

Clever of Massie.

Dude, you need a chill pill.

Making distinctions is a tool for teaching and understanding, correct? It seems that Tom is trying to inform the reader. 🤷🏻

Megyn Kelly in 2018: " There's no consenting for a 14 or even a 17 year old."

Megyn Kelly now: "Jeffrey Epstein…was not a pedophile…He was into the barely legal type, like he liked 15 year old girls…There's a difference between a 15 year old and a 5 year old."

@samsteindc.bsky.social: “What is your take on how this is playing out and why he’s acting in an incredibly guilty fashion?”

@chrismurphyct.bsky.social: “He wouldn’t be acting this way if he wasn’t so deeply worried...Clearly, Donald Trump was at the center of a child sex ring.”

Sarah Longwell: "The problem is not just Trump. He tapped into something that was preexisting and then accelerated and expanded upon it in a way where the Republican Party is something fundamentally different than it was when I came into it."

Will Sommer: "The Marjorie Taylor Greene thing is interesting because the thing that made Trump disown her...is the Epstein stuff. That's when he goes 'That's enough, you're out.' That's very interesting and I think that's very telling."

Impeach Trump.

Makes total sense!

There’s a reason most people in government undergo extensive investigations to assure that they don’t have backgrounds that would make them a target of manipulation by other countries. But for the top job in our country, this process failed us miserably!!!

The excuse Trump, Vance, Bessent and every member of the admin constantly uses is things are so bad because of what “they inherited.” What about what Biden inherited? Has everyone forgotten Jan 2021? Economy in shambles, global supply chain a mess, global inflation, J6 aftermath.

You would think that the 8 GOP Senators who are SO OUTRAGED that Jack Smith subpoenaed their phone records that they want $1 million compensation would bring him in to testify IN A PUBLIC HEARING to explain why he did this. But no, they don’t want to do that. I wonder why?

Father of two, Silverio Villegas Gonzalez, senselessly killed by ICE

He had no criminal history, just traffic tickets. He was a soft-spoken man who left his quiet village years ago for economic opportunity in the US and worked long hours to support his two children.

I spy….a man with a functioning brain:

I don’t care if Schumer voted no. If he’s unable to wrangle the caucus, he’s not an effective leader. I’ll continue to push for the caucus to elect a new one.

If Chuck Schumer’s leadership position is not challenged after this, the Democratic Party will lose the last shred of credibility it’s holding onto.

Governor Kathy Hochul * @GovKathyHochul ... Ending the shutdown shouldn't come at the expense of health care for tens of millions of Americans. This deal paves the way for devastating premium hikes that will drive up costs for New Yorkers. Count me out.

Interesting that NY gov Kathy Hochul felt compelled to put out a statement against Dems' deal to end the shutdown

Newsom Slams ‘Pathetic’ Shutdown Deal as ‘Surrender’ Gavin Newsom and other prominent Democrats are blasting the Senate’s tentative deal to end the government shutdown.

Everyone: Dems have them on the ropes, we're winning elections, he's unpopular, everyone hates his policies, and for a change, they're winning on messaging.

Schumer: if they don't negotiate with us after we help them reopen the Government, I'll be sending the strongest worded letter yet.

Yes.

It’s time to chuck Schumer

Excellent question.

You are the village idiot. Resign.

80% of Democratic voters want a new leader in the Senate.

Does that matter at all to Democratic senators?

Resign. You are a fool.
