NEW AD: Have you seen these anti-Talarico attack ads? Elon Musk paid for nearly all of them. The world's first trillionaire knows if he drags the most corrupt politician in Texas across the finish line, Ken Paxton will owe him everything. Elon Musk: Texas is not for sale.

Truly incredible that this is how the media is choosing to eulogize the longest-serving Republican Speaker of the House in US history, who was a serial sexual abuser of children. For all the talk about "deep state" plots to abuse children, no one even remembers this case.

Historians: What the fuck are you talking about, you insane clown?

🚨 New reporting reveals the DOJ is IGNORING European law enforcement agencies asking for help investigating Jeffrey Epstein. What are they hiding?

The post-9/11 lionization of Giuliani rings hollow for many of us who lived and worked in lower Manhattan that day. He and his staff (along with Bush's EPA) frequently reassured us that the air quality was fine. It wasn't, as was apparent to anyone who was there on 9/11 and the weeks thereafter. 1/
