@RepThomasMassie 🥩 How is it that Congress is in recess, the lights are turned out, and the doors are locked, yet I can post a five minute speech on why we need Country of Origin Labels for beef? Because I gave this speech 10 years ago!

@TomiLahren If they want to import cheap foreign beef, at least LABEL it as such!

Leading Senate Republicans want to vote within the next month on a package of bills to pressure Russia to compromise in Ukraine peace talks, but it’s not clear if President Donald Trump will back the legislation. ... “I think Sen. Graham is suggesting a ‘Russia Week,’” Thune told reporters Thursday afternoon. “We’ll take a look at what that might consist of. I’ve been interested for some time in getting the sanctions bill up on the floor. We’re trying to do that in concert and coordination with the White House to make sure that we’re giving them the best possible opportunity...

President Donald Trump pulled the trigger on sanctions that European Union leaders and American neocons have long urged him to impose on Russia. An analyst for the Ron Paul Institute said this makes it “Trump’s war now.”The new round of sanctions are part of a one-two economic punch to Russia’s major source of revenue — energy. The EU also leveled sanctions. Making matters worse for the Russians are the British Storm Shadow cruise missile that hit a Russian rocket fuel plant earlier this week, indicating a recent upgrade in Ukrainian military capabilities and permissions for their use.The United States had...

Virginia Giuffre's ghostwriter has revealed she holds the names of everyone listed in the Epstein files along with private recordings to prove it. Amy Wallace, the co-author of Giuffre’s posthumous memoir Nobody's Girl, sat down with NewsNation on Tuesday to discuss the 400-page tell-all detailing the harrowing events that unfolded on the disgraced billionaire's infamous island. In an explosive claim, Wallace insisted the list exists, that she knows the identities of everyone named and that the FBI has been holding it for more than ten years.

Jeffrey Epstein’s former Upper East Side mansion has undergone a massive, million-dollar remodel in an attempt to scrub all traces of the pedophile financier and his twisted sex crimes, The Post can reveal. But a new memoir from Epstein’s late victim Virginia Giuffre has dragged 9 E. 71st St. — once New York City’s largest private home — back into the grim spotlight. In “Nobody’s Girl,” which was released this week, Giuffre describes being repeatedly subjected to sado-masochistic sexual torture in a massage room that she named “The Dungeon.” Giuffre describes being chained up, fitted with a collar, and beaten...

President Donald Trump summoned FBI Director Kash Patel, Attorney General Pam Bondi and Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche to the White House on Wednesday. The president's public schedule described the meeting as an update on the fight against violent crime. But once everyone was in the room, Trump made it clear he had something else in mind. It was time, the president said, to speed the indictments of his political foes - the former officials who, he alleges, tried to destroy him and his family. Pointing up at the portraits of presidents Abraham Lincoln and Andrew Jackson which line the...

Prince Andrew should share everything he knows about convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, the co-writer of Virginia Giuffre's posthumous memoir has told the BBC. The book, Nobody's Girl, officially released in the UK on Tuesday, gives more details of Ms Giuffre's allegations about Prince Andrew - which he has always denied. Ahead of the release, co-author Amy Wallace told BBC Newsnight there was a period when Prince Andrew "indicated he was willing to help investigators in the US" but he was "never available, for some reason". "That's something he could still do," Ms Wallace - who spent four years writing...

@RepThomasMassie First the British Ambassador lost his job and now the Prince lost his title. Don’t tell us there’s nothing in the Epstein files. The truth is coming out and we will not give up. Repost this and tag @SpeakerJohnson if you want him to quit delaying the vote.

FBI Director Kash Patel joins FOX Business Network's "Kudlow" to discuss Operation Summer Heat, the number of arrests under the Trump administration, a federal grand jury indicting alleged Antifa members, and FBI staff being paid during the shutdown.LARRY KUDLOW, FOX BUSINESS: Director Kash Patel, hats off to you, Kash. You've done a great job. The way I read it, you've depoliticized it, you've de-weaponized it, people are going back to work, and these numbers, we're going to put it on the full screen, the FBI, Summer Heat, and all crushing of violent crime, you've just done this in only a...

"This is of massive historical significance," Anna Paulina Luna saidWASHINGTON, October 15. /TASS/. Anna Paulina Luna, a Republican member of the US House of Representatives from Florida, said a group of experts will begin examining Russia’s archives on the assassination of 35th US President John F.

Jeffrey Epstein regularly boasted he could blackmail a powerful network of men using videos showing them abusing young women, according to Virginia Giuffre. The bombshell claim is made in her posthumous memoir Nobody’s Girl, A Memoir of Surviving Abuse and Fighting for Justice. The Telegraph has obtained a copy of the 367-page book which will be published next week by Alfred A. Knopf. It will reignite questions about whether the late paedophile maintained a “client list” after the federal authorities concluded in July that there was no blackmail operation. Giuffre finished writing the book six months before she took her...

The seeds of Andrew's downfall were sown many years ago, when he began a friendship with financier Jeffrey Epstein in the 1990s. Andrew once counted both Epstein and his former girlfriend Ghislaine Maxwell as friends, and the trio were seen on holiday together at Donald Trump's Mar-a-lago club in Florida in 2000. In the same year, Epstein and Maxwell attended a party at Buckingham Palace held to mark birthdays including the prince's 40th. Flight records show the then-Duke flew on Epstein's private plane in May 2000. In 2008, Epstein was sentenced to 18 months in prison for soliciting a minor...

Prince Andrew is to give up his titles, including the Duke of York, he has announced in a personal statement. He has been under increasing pressure for his links with sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, with calls for the Palace to take action against him. That now seems to have resulted in the prince deciding to voluntarily hand back his titles and to give up membership of the Order of the Garter. Prince Andrew has faced a series of scandals, including a court case he settled with Virginia Giuffre, questions about his finances and his involvement with an alleged Chinese spy....

The Libertarian Party has announced The Parity Project, a ten-year plan to grow its membership and visibility to rival the Democrats and Republicans. The effort draws inspiration from past membership drives, including the 1990s-era Project Archimedes. In an October 15 letter to members, Libertarian National Committee Chair Steven Nekhaila outlined a plan to “equalize” the party by targeting Americans who already identify with libertarian principles. Citing research from “eleven different studies,” he estimated that 30 to 60 million Americans either identify as libertarian or hold mostly libertarian views. Nekhaila noted that many of these voters currently cast ballots “defensively” for...

I know, I know….I’m skeptical too but CBS News reports it has suddenly received 90 new Jeffrey Epstein photos that have never been seen before. ‼️🇺🇸: CBS has acquired 90 NEW photos from Epstein’s cell after his demise, and they do NOT add up with the 'suic1de' narrative. 👀 pic.twitter.com/nXjieCi87B— Diligent Denizen 🇺🇸 (@DiligentDenizen) October 9, 2025Even the “MSM” is now starting to admit this looks more like a cleanup and coverup than a true investigation: 🚨 NEW: CBS confirms Epstein’s jail cell was a forensic disaster.- No proper evidence markers- Items moved before photos- Epstein’s body gone before inspection-...

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) said Tuesday that she has faced more pressure over a petition to trigger a House vote compelling the release of files linked to Jeffrey Epstein than any other issue. “My signature is on that discharge petition, and there has not been another issue where I have ever received more pressure than that one, and I’m pretty much shocked by it. I can’t imagine — I’ve never understood how this is an issue,” Greene told NewsNation’s Blake Burman on “The Hill.” “I think when it comes to women being raped, especially when they were 14 years...

A special election last month secured Representative Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) the 218 votes needed to force a vote on releasing all Justice Department files on Jeffrey Epstein. But Arizona Democrat Adelita Grijalva has still not been sworn in, and Massie suspects Speaker Mike Johnson has a specific reason for the delay. Massie said in an X post he published Monday, “Contrary to what he says, Speaker Johnson is doing everything he can, including delaying the swearing in of the most recently elected member of Congress and spreading misinformation about the legislation, to block a vote in Congress on legislation to...
