Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) complained about "unbelievable blowback and pressure from the White House" on releasing files about Jeffrey Epstein, despite her support for President Donald Trump on controversial topics, such as the Jan. 6 riots.

"I've always been an unapologetic Trump supporter," Greene told Real America's Voice host Eric Bolling on Tuesday. "Spent millions of dollars out of my own campaign to do that."

MSNBC's Nicolle Wallace couldn't help but notice that Attorney General Pam Bondi had a large binder of answers and personal attacks to lodge against Democrats.

While a Reuters reporter managed to capture a shot of some of Bondi's binder notes, Wallace noticed just how thick it was and how overtly partisan her talking points were.

As the federal government shutdown rages on, Republicans in Congress have a new headache to worry about as House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) clashes with Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) about whether to convene to pass an emergency extension of pay for troops.

The shutdown has no end in sight, with Democrats demanding an extension of Affordable Care Act subsidies that stabilize millions of people's insurance premiums as a condition of their votes, and Republicans refusing to negotiate on this matter until the government reopens.

Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem prayed for a "hedge of protection" around federal agents while meeting at an official Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility.

According to MAGA influencer Benny Johnson, Noem began a meeting at the Portland ICE office with a prayer to Jesus Christ.

Attorney General Pam Bondi drew reactions from those watching her appearance before the Senate Judiciary Committee on Tuesday, when, instead of answering specific questions from Democrats, she turned to attack them personally.

Bondi attacked Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) over a campaign talking point from more than 15 years ago about his service as a U.S. Marine. She claimed Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL) took money from someone who knew sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

Longtime investigative reporter Ken Dilanian, who typically covers justice and intelligence, called out the Republican talking point that they were "wiretapped" by President Joe Biden's administration.

White House call logs were obtained as part of the investigation into the attempt to overturn the 2020 election, revealing who President Donald Trump called, when the calls occurred, and when they ended. Such call logs were public as part of the House Subcommittee that investigated the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol. However, the call logs published as part of special counsel Jack Smith's final report included the name of the phone number's owner.

MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell threatened to go "door-to-door" begging for money to file an appeal after a judge ruled that he and his company defamed voting machine manufacturer Smartmatic.

In a ruling last month, U.S. District Judge Jeffrey Bryan found that Lindell defamed Smartmatic 51 times with claims that the 2020 presidential election had been rigged.

The Jeffrey Epstein sex trafficking scandal has fallen catastrophically short in the one place above all else where it should matter, legal experts Rachel Foster, Dahlia Lithwick, Mimi Rocah, and Joyce Vance wrote for Slate on Tuesday.

"So far there has been a specific and appalling omission at the heart of the continuing, and at one time relentless, Epstein coverage," they wrote — specifically, that all the focus is not on who was hurt by Epstein's child trafficking operation, but which public figures and politicians might have their careers ruined by it.

Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) lashed out at Politico's Kyle Cheney on Tuesday when the legal reporter fact-checked the Republican about his claim he was "wiretapped" by President Joe Biden's administration.

Special Counsel Jack Smith's investigative report, listed in footnote 132 that investigators attempt to overthrow the 2020 election found that the White House called several Republican officials.

House Republicans had a theoretical advantage heading into the government shutdown: unlike Senate Republicans, they can use their bare majority to pass messaging bills to reopen the government, making Democrats look bad and trying to stick them with the blame for the standoff.

But that has been derailed by their other key agenda of running interference for President Donald Trump over the Jeffrey Epstein sex trafficking case files, political commentator Matt Yglesias noted Tuesday on X.
