I have never had so much fun shredding bogus claims in a response letter.
IF they proceed, we will look forward to discovery. As will millions of Americans.

This is absolute speculation, but hear me out.
Given how much Boebert has dug her heels in, this feels personal. There is a non-zero chance she was abused by an older, more powerful man as a girl.
That might explain why the pressure tactics seem to be backfiring.

The fact that Trump is calling Mace and Boebert today pleading with them to remove their names from the Epstein petition at the last minute tells you everything you need to know about how incriminating the info in the files is to him and his cronies.

Legislation creates a Federal Tax Escrow Account in the state treasury. Instead of employers forwarding collected federal taxes to Washington, they send them to the state. The state holds the money in escrow. A legislative panel reviews federal spending for constitutional compliance.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.
The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.
People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.
And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

It appears that this tweet from Ed Martin’s account has now been deleted.
Ed Martin, using his official DOJ account, is now promoting an unsubstantiated conspiracy theory accusing a former Capitol Police officer of planting pipe bombs on J6.
Just yesterday, a post from the same account claimed it was “false” that the DOJ had identified Shauni Kerkhoff as the suspect.
