Amazing. They're shutting down the government so that they don't have to vote on releasing files about a guy that POTUS says he didn't really know. I gotta believe the conspiracy theorist MAGA movement isn't going to just forget. The Trump loyalists are sure acting like there's something to hide.
Speaker Mike Johnson on Monday said he does not plan to allow votes on any measures related to the Jeffrey Epstein case in the Houseâs final week in Washington before a weekslong recess, despite intense pressure from some of his own GOP members to go on the record on the issue.

I'm seeing that MTG is feeling her oats and pretty much openly challenging Trump to release all the Epstein files.
Regardless of what happens... is that really a wise move on her part? Does she think Trump is going to let the challenge "pass"? Does she believe herself to be the emerging new standard-bearer of MAGA... taking the throne from Trump?
Thunderdome! Thunderdome!Thunderdome!Two idiots enter, one idiot leaves.
He's just trying to distract people. See also his re-post of a fake video showing Barack Obama getting arrested.
Yes, but that's pretty transparent to this point. And how much of a distraction is the story going to provide? He's better off going back to threatening to invade Greenland or reclaiming the Panama Canal.
I think more of the faithful are going to start looking toward 2028 no matter what happens. To do that, they have to sort of predict which foible will damage Trump the most but being able to say you stood up to him on *something* will count for a lot if he goes down in flames. If he survives (literally and politically), she'll be able to say she was in lockstep with him on almost everything.
I still think it's a pretty big gamble on her part. Trump holds grudges and... depending upon how the whole "release the files" drama plays out... she could wind up being on the outside (anyone still remember Pence?) looking in. Trump may get damaged, but I doubt he's going down in flames. He's been able to weather anything/everything thrown at him to this point.

Aren't the costs of the stadium being paid by the team and the District of Columbia? The Senate passed a resolution to transfer the land including old RFK Stadium from the federal government to the District of Columbia last December. Despite Musk's lies from December, there was no provision for using federal funds for the stadium.
Well, you know... he thinks HE controls EVERY damn thing.
