Those Epstein files must be a whopper. Shutting down the whole government and sending R Congressmen home for 4 weeks so far(paid, of course) just to avoid swearing in a new Congressmen.....

Release the Trumpstein files.

Today is Day 14 of the Republican shutdown. Your regular reminders:

1. Republicans control the White House, Senate and House.

2. GOP making deep cuts to Medicaid, Medicare and ACA.

3. Democrats are fighting to lower costs, cancel the cuts and save healthcare for Americans.

ICE agents blocked an ambulance that was trying to take an injured protester to hospital.

"We are still not being allowed to leave by ICE officers.” an EMT said on radio

When driver tried to get out, an agent yelled, "DON’T YOU EVER DO THAT AGAIN, I WILL SHOOT YOU"

REPORTER: Do you support repealing Obamacare and what's your healthcare plan?

MIKE JOHNSON: We worked on repealing and replacing Obamacare back in 2017. I still have PTSD from the experience. We know that American healthcare needs dramatic reform. We have lots of ideas.

(So, no plan)

I believe that Trump will never be held accountable for his Epstein crimes. I think he will die before conclusive evidence is revealed to the public about his role in underaged girls sex trafficking and abuse. It will be Trump's final insult to our system of Justice.
