Trump sues US taxpayers for $10 billion, then decides whether US taxpayers have to pay him the $10 billion. I guess the billions he made overseas in the past year selling out America to his foreign business partners isn't enough.

Dear God. Horrible.
I found the first investigative file from the first complainant against Epstein in 2005.
There are descriptions from the officer, over several interviews of the girl, of her pulling her knees up on the chair, drawing doodles, & the officer high-fiving her to keep her calm as she speaks of horror.

Congressional Republicans unveiled their new “MEGA Act” bill, which could:
❌Impose strict voter ID requirements to vote
❌Create a centralized voter surveillance system in every state
❌Ban universal mail voting
❌And much more
The kicker? These changes would happen all at once.
