We need the #Epstein Files to be put back online. Then we need the unredacted files. Then we need the millions of videos, testimonials, etc. that are missing from the huge TB hardware that was taken from one of Epstein’s houses, but then we would like confirmation that we have EVERYTHING.

1. This week, Trump said that the extra money that Americans were spending on gas due to the Iran War was "peanuts." We did the math, and the increased energy costs for Americans is equivalent to 14.5 million pounds of peanuts That's 110 pounds of peanuts for every American household

A lot of peanuts
As the Iran War drags on, President Trump has repeatedly belittled the economic impact of the conflict on Americans.

It’s a pardon on steroids for Trump & his family businesses. The gov't has agreed that it won't prosecute or pursue civil claims against any of the Trumps, “whether presently known or unknown” that could have been brought as of the date of the settlement agreement. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...
