The whole Epsein files thing is a trap, and the Dems are walking right into it [View all]

This may turn out to be a huge one-sided embarrassment if files were bleached. No MAGA GOP is going to call for the release of something they know will implicate them they way Johnson is now doing today.

This has been one entire week of turning the news cycle away from the tariffs, and the Texas flood failures over what now seems to be a planted story. Gotta stop chasing decoys and distractors...
