Tonight I plan to give Notice of Intent to bring forth a Privileged Resolution this week to force the release of all names of U.S. Representatives who have used your tax dollars to settle sexual misconduct claims.

Do you want your Representative to vote for this disclosure?

[Pastor Bob Joyce @PastorBobJ67896]

Jeffery Epstein’s butler was caught in an FBI sting in 2009 trying to sell the client & victim list.

He told them the entire operation, 17 years ago.

And the FBI did NOTHING.

[Rand Paul @RandPaul]

We bring in $5 trillion. We spend $7 trillion. We borrow the difference. The Fed prints money to cover it.

That's inflation. And inflation is making you poorer.

IRS: you owe us taxes

Me: how much do I owe?

IRS: you get to figure that out

Me: can I just pay what I want?

IRS: no we know exactly how much you owe but you have to guess the number too

Me: what if I guess wrong?

IRS: jail

Happy tax day!

I predict that President Obama will at some point attack Iran in order to save face!

[Clayton Morris @ClaytonMorris]

Update: We've now spent over $42 billion so far on Israel's war in Iran. 1 Billion per day. Remember this as you mail your taxes into IRS on April 15th.

Dan, in your first call, which I think is the first and last occasion you and I ever spoke:

(1) you seemed upset that I had received and had released FBI whistleblower information about the pipe bomb investigation.

(2) I informed you that your staff had threatened to criminally investigate my staff as retribution against me (for pipe bomb or Epstein activity?)

(3) you threatened to personally finance a defamation suit against reporters on behalf of a suspect. Perhaps it was also a veiled threat to sue me. You said “those depositions aren’t going to fun for the people involved” or something like that. In any case, Deputy FBI Director shouldn’t be financing civil lawsuits against reporters covering cases the FBI is working on.

(4) you said you were going to call every agent in and get to the bottom of the whistleblower issue.

(5) you offered me a briefing but I was going to be tied up until at least 6pm on the Epstein files transparency act, so I asked how late i could get the briefing and you said you were going to leave the office at 5pm.

(6) I asked you a few questions on the call and your answers indicated to me that you were perhaps less informed than me on some of the issues, or you were going to be less than forthcoming.

A few hours after the call, I received and released new FBI whistleblower information regarding the all-hands meeting (which matched what you told me in #4 above), related to concern that the meeting was called to “out” the whistelblowers.

Your second (attempted) call was the evening I achieved 218 signatures on the Epstein discharge petition and I had been busy thwarting Mike Johnson’s last ditch effort to derail the Epstein Files Transparency Act. Not sure why your call log shows 1:36am. You called me in the evening, maybe 8ish?

note - my staff also had the unfortunate pleasure of receiving numerous late night calls on Signal from FBI staff telling them there was absolutely nothing in the Epstein case and that I should back off.

Ron Paul on the Iran War: "President Trump listened to the Neocons and Netanyahu instead of his MAGA base and other voices of caution. Regime change wars never work."

[Thomas Massie @RepThomasMassie]

PSA: Bombing a country on the other side of the globe won’t make the Epstein files go away, any more than the Dow going above 50,000 will.

[Joe Gates @joegates]

@RayDalio @grok break this down to one paragraph

[Documenting Saylor @saylordocs]

Milton Friedman on 4 ways to spend money:

1) Your money on yourself (you’re careful about both cost and quality)
2) Your money on others (you care about cost, less about quality)
3) Someone else’s money on yourself (you care about quality, not cost)
4) Someone else’s money on others (you care about neither)

The last one is how government spending works

[Patrick Bet-David @patrickbetdavid]

The Epstein files have become the biggest black eye for this administration.

There are very few issues that unite Americans across politics, religion, and income levels.

Protecting kids is one of them.

The last three administrations failed to address it. This was an opportunity to finally confront it head on.

The “attack, deny, never apologize” playbook doesn’t work when children are involved.

Yes, there’s a lot to celebrate:
• Murder down 20%
• Border more secure
• America projecting strength
• Markets performing well

But none of that matters to parents if kids aren’t protected.

It’s also true many on the left are more focused on taking down Trump than protecting children, otherwise this would’ve been a priority years ago.

Still, this has been badly mishandled.

When it comes to kids, transparency and accountability aren’t optional.

Major fumble.
No other way to say it.

Thomas Massie shouldn’t just win his next election (that Israeli billionaires are spending oceans of money to stop)

He should be president.
