He knows they have the votes to filibuster in the Senate.

Or they have successfully destroyed everything showing he knew all about what Epstein was doing.

You'll ignore this, but every time you tweet angrily about crap like that Nuzzi piece you're confirming NYT editors' intuitions/incentivizing more of it. The entire intellectual/journo model here is, "Does this person get people angry? Yes? OK they're provocative/get talked about. Write about her."

In 48 other states, new moms have access to Medicaid for up to one year after they give birth. Not in Wisconsin.

There, the limit remains two months. And it’s only because of one man: Assembly Speaker Robin Vos. / My latest story for @propublica.org www.propublica.org/article/wisc...

Trump retreats on Epstein files. Three lessons:

1. It can be easier to fracture the MAGA coalition than get "responsible" Republicans to step up.

2. Democrats should fight rather than find reasons not to fight.

3. Dems need to be anti-elitist not just anti-GOP.

Rep. Ro Khanna tells NBC he'll hold a press conference with survivors of Epstein's abuse and he'll call for Trump to meet with the survivors.

"On Tuesday what we're going to ask is for a president to meet with these survivors."

"I really think that's the right thing to do."

Thomas Massie tells ABC there could be "a deluge of Republicans" who vote in favor of forcing the Justice Department to release the Epstein files.
 
"There could be 100 or more. I'm hoping to get a veto-proof majority on this legislation when it comes up for a vote."

For 7 yrs, this is what I’ve told Trump’s supporters every single day: Trump doesn’t give a damn about you. He never has. And that’s got nothing to do with you and everything to do with him. You see, Trump is humanly capable of caring ONLY about Trump. And hopefully one day you’ll realize that.

Sen. Chris Murphy on Trump and Epstein:

“Trump wouldn't be acting this way if he wasn't so deeply worried about what’s in those files. What we've already seen is incriminating. He wouldn't be fighting so hard if there wasn't something especially incriminating.”
