One lesson from the Epstein–Mandelson affair is that we need to stop routinely rehabilitating political careers after serious scandals.
When politicians knowingly engage in grave ethical wrongdoing, that should permanently end their political careers. Being "talented" should not override that.

In Norway, UK and Slovakia, revelations in the Epstein files have forced resignations. The disclosure concerning these figures were trivial compared with what was learned about Trump cabinet secretaries and other figures in the Trump inner circle, but there have been no resignations in the US.
Welche Europäer Kontakt zum Sexualstraftäter Epstein pflegten
Die Veröffentlichung der Akten zum Sexualstraftäter Jeffrey Epstein führt auch in Europa zu Konsequenzen. In Norwegen, Großbritannien und der Slowakei kam es zu Suspendierungen und Rücktritten.

No arrests of the ICE thugs who murdered Alex Pretti, Renee Good, or Keith Porter. No arrests of anyone in the Epstein Files. But they arrested Don Lemon because of his journalism.

I’m ok. I’m a survivor so this small agitator isn’t going to intimidate me from doing my work.
I don’t let bullies win.
Grateful to my incredible constituents who rallied behind me. Minnesota strong.

We had to put up with school shootings because "the 2nd Amendment"
But watch ICE eliminate the right to bear arms by executing anyone they find with a gun and to hell with the 2nd Amendment.
ICE will soon be killing citizens in their own homes because they're scared there might be a gun inside.

As we await Senate action on the remaining spending bills, remember that Susan Collins could make a difference by stripping out DHS from the rest of the government funding bills. But she won't because she is just as MAGA as the rest of them.
