so . . . is the White House plan to rely on the Senate to filibuster the release of the Epstein files, or is he thinking he'll sign the bill, but then DOJ will say they can't release anything because there is an active investigation.
I've never been so pleased that Fetterman is no longer my Senator.

It increasingly appears that Trump is hoping to engineer a "Gulf of Tonkin" incident to justify an attack on Venezuela.
How worried is Trump about the Epstein files?
Worried enough that Speaker Johnson was sent out to float the preposterous notion that any appearance of Trump in the materials is the result of his being an FBI informer. (BTW, head of the FBI at the time was Mueller.)
Bad job numbers released, Trump fires the head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
More bad job numbers, Trump declares they are still the Biden numbers. (in the eighth month of Trump's Presidency.)
The guy who wants a Nobel Peace Prize plans to rename DOD as the Department of War.

Somehow I don't think starting a war and then stopping it is the best approach.

Anybody notice that one of Trump's defense attorneys was Joe TACOpina?
The White House insists that Trump was acting in his private capacity when he attended the dinner for Meme coin buyers -- WHICH MEANS HE HAS NO IMMUNITY FOR ANYTHING INVOLVING THIS GRIFT.
Steven Miller, aide to a man who attempted a coup, complains there is a "judicial coup."
Trump says Walmart and China should "eat the tariffs."
But China doesn't pay the tarrifs. What are they supposed to eat?
Tales of half-heard commercials -- I thought I heard them talking about mice living in my eyelids.
Trump has named twenty-three Fox News personalities to positions in his administration!
