What the Hell Happened to Sean Duffy’s Road-Trip TV Show?

Holland, who once compared a Black child to a dog, has had a career mired in controversy. That hasn’t stopped him from becoming the de facto frontrunner of his judicial race.

There are a lot of posts out there with the close-up visual of Markwayne Mullin on January 6, but this is a better perspective. He’s not protecting others; he’s protecting himself and hiding. You can see plenty of people at the entry door, ready to take on the insurrectionists, but not Markwayne.

Read @sollenbergerrc.bsky.social’s work on the South Carolina survivor who spoke to the FBI about Epstein in 2019 but refused to speak to them about Trump.
"That's because this document shows the FBI conducted not just one but four interviews with Trump's accuser. And, as I reported Wednesday, while the government gave all four of those interviews to Maxwell's legal team
ahead of her trial, the government gave only one of those four interviews to us in the
Epstein files"
