Neguse: It's still unclear as to the ultimate reasons that Trump made that decision. It may be that the corruption that Noem was engaged in embarrassed him. It may be that he was envious of it.

Praying they are able to get the medical care they need, & to be w/ their families
parking lots or entryways
the CVS with the heaviest front doors which are semi-auto open, but so old that they don't really work, and so heavy you can't open them manually...again, parody
my mom's primary care, which mostly serves elderly ppl, is the most inaccessible...like to a parody degree.
two verrrrrryyyyyyyyyy long ramps up

In those subsequent interviews, the woman described how Epstein trafficked her to several men, including Trump, in the 1980s. She was interviewed again by the FBI on Aug. 7, 2019, Aug. 20, 2019 and Oct. 16, 2019. In her second interview, she claimed that Epstein either flew or drove her from South Carolina to New York or New Jersey when she was between 13 and 15 years old. "She was introduced to someone with money, money...it was Donald Trump," the FBI report said. She recalled she was in a "very tall building with huge rooms" when she met Trump, whom she said immediately didn't like her because she was a "boy-gir!" - or tomboy. She claimed she was with Epstein and several other people who left her alone in the room with Trump. "Let me teach you how little girls are supposed to be," she recalled Trump saying, according to the FBI report. She said he unzipped his pants and forced her head to his penis. She said she immediately bit him and Trump struck her, the report said. She told the FBI agents that she bit him because he "disgusted" her. In her third interview, she told agents she wanted to clarify how Trump reacted to her biting him, explaining that Trump "pulled her hair and punched her on the side of the head."
“A DOJ source told the Miami Herald that agents found her to be credible – and that they would not have interviewed her four times if they thought she was lying.”

For years, strategists have warned national leaders against the temptations of "victory disease," the belief that winning battles means they're winning the war. Leaders throughout history have made this mistake, and Trump seems to be making it now.

II recalled receiving several "hang-ups" and a lot of brief telephone messages that included words to the effect, "we know where you're at, you need to keep your mouth shut." The people who called knew mother was in a specific assisted living facility. II initially stated the individuals "possibly" called her mother; but when asked how she knew they were aware of her mother's residence in a particular assisted living facility, II stated they called her mother there. The call(s) to her mother included rude language about her mother's age and health. When asked what made II think the calls were related to EPSTEIN/his associates, II responded that she did not think the callers ever said they were calling on behalf of EPSTEIN or TRUMP. II does not have any other

her after she bit him on the penis, she provided further details that he,

Prior to being asked any questions regarding the case, the agents asked whether they could audio record the interview. II advised she was not comfortable being recorded at that time. II requested agents explain to her the goal and parameters of the fourth interview. She indicated she was aware that because she was victimized several years prior, the statutes of limitation of any viable federal violation may have run. She asked agents, "what's the point?" The agents explained that all victims of crime should have the opportunity to tell their story; they wanted to provide her with that opportunity should she choose to accept. The agents also explained why they wished to keep the fourth interview focused on abuse • endured at the hands of individuals associated with JEFFREY EPSTEIN. II previously mentioned she had sexual contact with (current U.S. President) DONALD TRUMP while she was a minor. She previously explained the contact was facilitated through her association with EPSTEIN. • was asked whether she felt
comfortable detailing her contacts with TRUMP. ■ again asked what the point would be of providing the information at this point in her life when there was a strong possibility nothing could be done about it. The agents asked II to go home and take as much time as she needed to think about speaking with the agents further. ■ agreed and the interview ended.
Here's why I bring it up:
you get to a point, where you realize that ppl don't care, or they don't believe you or don't want to know bc it makes them uncomfortable
so you shut up
Every woman who has been sexually assaulted understands the impulse to just walk away because justice is a pipe dream and you don’t want to put yourself through a second, emotional assault when you tell your story.
I learned this lesson early on, watching Dr. Anita Hill tell her story to a dozen skeptical men in Congress.
My SAer wasn’t even even famous, and hundreds of strangers on the internet called me a liar.
Russian terrorists attacked Kharkiv with a missile – a five-storey building was destroyed. The dead body of a person was recovered. At least ten people were injured, including two children. There may be more victims buried in the rubble.

@democrats-judiciary.house.gov Great job questioning Kristi Noem. Thank you for your thorough, tough & effective questions.
@joe-scarborough.bsky.social told @ms.now viewers there was nothing incriminating on Trump in the Epstein files. @ms.now needs to investigate why Scarborough said that.
