If this is the same Peter Attia MD who was just revealed as one of Bari Weiss's big new additions to CBS News, he can just tell the stories about the "outrageous" life Jeffrey Epstein led on the Evening News.

And Peter Attia MD telling Epstein the biggest problem with being his friend is he can’t tell anyone about the life he lives. Nice.

Trump lost Georgia in 2020.
But today he continued his sore loser’s crusade with an FBI raid (!) on a Georgia election office.
From Minnesota to Georgia, we’re watching the President unravel, weaponizing federal law enforcement for personal power and revenge.
We must stop him.

FBI raid underway at the Fulton County election hub.
So, first Trump has 2 people murdered in an attempt to force a state to hand over voter rolls.
Now the FBI is going after the exact place Trump had grievances with because he lost an election and they wouldn't fudge the numbers for him.
