Washington is pretending to look busy with phony investigations—but don't let them distract you from the cover-up. The Epstein files remain hidden, and Pam Bondi still hasn’t appeared for questioning. No hearings. No deposition date. No answers.

John Cornyn has been in office longer than I’ve been alive. He’s had 40 years to lower the cost of housing, healthcare, groceries, utilities, and gas. What’s the hold up?
