Wait, what!?
Ghislaine Maxwell is being waited on ‘hand and foot’ in a ‘luxury’ prison: a top official said he was ‘sick of having to be Maxwell’s bitch.’
Trump made sure the woman who helped traffic girls for billionaires gets spa treatment in exchange for her silence.

He’s buying Trump enough time to strong arm Nancy Mace.

Panicking on how to protect pedophiles.
Let that sink in.

Massie’s discharge petition reached 218 votes to force a house vote on compelling the justice department to release the Epstein files. FYI That still leaves another vote. But progress is progress.

NEW: Jeffrey Epstein said in emails that he had been advising the Russian government on how to deal with Donald Trump, one of several cases in which he wielded his connections to try to influence the course of foreign affairs. w @nahaltoosi

I think there’s a non zero chance Epstein helped Russia blackmail Trump. Would tie everything together in a nice little bow

Trump lured Lauren Boebert to an in-person meeting in the Situation Room, instead of calling her on the phone, because he knew all her electronic devices would be confiscated before entry, so she couldn't record anything embarrassing or incriminating.

Today's release by Democrats was aimed at undermining her efforts. And to make it harder for Donald to pardon Ghislaine Maxwell.

~ 403 gallons (1,525 liters).
~ 2,700 lbs (1,225 kg) of jet fuel used.
~ $2,296 cost of fuel.
~ 4 tons of CO2 emissions.
My position isn’t optimism…it’s mechanics. Blackmail…isn’t what’s holding them…fear of acting alone is.
Congress moves…when power shifts…not because they’re clean… or brave.
Once the political math flips…they won’t stay loyal out of fear of kompromat. They’ll move to save themselves. Count on it
Do wonder if and when a Vance faction tries to convince the rest of the GOP to jettison Trump and stop the bleeding.

Adelita Grijalva, Democrat of Arizona, was sworn into office on Wednesday, weeks after she won a special election in September. Moments later, she provided the final signature needed on a petition to force a House vote on releasing the Trump administration’s investigative files on Jeffrey Epstein.

A normal reaction to today's news, dear Nancy, would be to express shock and horror at the significant possibility that the president of the United States is a child molester.

BREAKING: today's Trump-Epstein documents raise more questions than they answer
Is DOJ hiding even worse emails & docs? And did they know Maxwell was lying when they interviewed her?
We @democracydefendersfund.org are doubling down on our FOIA filings & litigation to find out 👇
Nancy Mace consistently follows “as a survivor…” with some bullshit that is not consistent with being a survivor.
I’ll give her the benefit of the doubt that she’s not lying about being a survivor, but she’s never shown any support or empathy for other survivors; only made it about herself.
