They voted to release the Epstein files. It cost them their jobs

In November, four Republicans broke with their party to force a vote on releasing the Epstein files. And as of yesterday, three of the four are out of a job.

Trump’s handpicked candidate may cost his party their most important state

Republicans are fretting that a candidate endorsed by Donald Trump may cost them in their most important state. Ken Paxton has claimed the nomination as the Republican Senate candidate in Texas, beating long-time incumbent John Cornyn. His comfortable win this morning over Cornyn comes after Trump threw his support behind Paxton last week after a bitter and expensive primary election. Ken Paxton lost his vision in one eye in a hide-and-seek mishap when he was 12. (AP) But Paxton has been so scandal-prone that it could give Democrats an opening in the conservative state. As Texas attorney-general, his own staff reported him to the FBI with bribery and corruption accusations. Paxton then fired the whistleblowers. He was impeached by the state House of R...

Elon Musk publicised the names of government employees he wants to cut. It’s terrifying federal workers
