GOP rep says he believes Epstein files were destroyed, which, frankly, feels like a predictable turn in this ongoing saga. The whole situation surrounding the Epstein files has been, to put it mildly, a mess. There’s a whole history of claims, accusations, and conflicting statements swirling around, making it hard to know what to believe. What is consistent, however, is the pattern of denial and blame-shifting that seems to follow every revelation.
First, the timeline is crucial. We’re talking about files related to Jeffrey Epstein, a name synonymous with scandal and the alleged abuse of underage girls. The files themselves are believed to contain names of individuals connected to Epstein, potentially implicating powerful people in heinous crimes.… Continue reading
Despite his office’s claim that he returned from his European vacation “as fast as humanly possible,” Senator Ted Cruz could have booked earlier flights back to Texas from Athens, Greece. Flight data revealed several flight options on Friday, July 4, and Saturday, July 5, after the devastating floods hit Texas, which he ultimately missed. Witnesses saw Cruz touring the Parthenon in Athens on Saturday, more than 24 hours after the Guadalupe River burst its banks, prompting criticism from those present. While Cruz later addressed the situation on the airwaves and engaged with authorities, the timing of his return and his whereabouts during the initial response raised questions.

The acting SSA administrator, Leland Dudek, initially complied but was later replaced by Frank Bisignano, who contradicted Miller’s statement while simultaneously defending DOGE’s actions. The resulting staffing shortages and claim backlog demonstrate the negative consequences of this politically-motivated manipulation of agency data.

During his This Week broadcast, George Stephanopoulos accused the Trump family of leveraging the presidency to amass billions of dollars through various deals. Stephanopoulos cited instances such as a pardon for a tax cheat after a substantial Mar-a-Lago donation and the SEC dropping a lawsuit against Binance after the platform listed a Trump family cryptocurrency. He quoted The Atlantic, describing the situation as unprecedented corruption on a scale comparable to post-Soviet or postcolonial dictatorships. This accusation comes despite ABC’s previous settlement with Trump for a false statement made by Stephanopoulos.

Donehue’s deposition casts doubt on Mace’s credibility, suggesting a pattern of using the “victim card” for personal and political advantage.
