❗️📃 Five GOP senators have issued a warning that they will refuse to back any omnibus spending bill that does not include adequate funding for border security, and specifically for the construction of a wall on the border with Mexico.
Republican lawmakers Mike Braun, Marco Rubio, Mike Lee, Cynthia Lummis, and Ted Cruz argued in an open letter, obtained by Fox News ahead of its release, that such funding is crucial for curbing illegal immigration into the US, which has exceeded 1.7 million encounters in 2021.

A friendly rat': Jeffrey Epstein's longtime pal, Ghislaine Maxwell, shared details about her life in prison as she awaits trial over accusations of procuring minors for the well-connected sex offender.
🐀 Maxwell doesn't seem to feel lonely in her cell as, according to the UK newspaper report, there is an open sewer drain from which a "friendly rat" comes out from time to time.
"I told the guards, but nothing was done until the rat popped out and charged a guard who screamed in terror", Maxwell claimed, according to the The Daily Mail. "Finally, the sewer drain was covered."
👀 Maxwell also claims that she stopped taking showers on a daily basis because of "creepy guards who stand close and stare at me the whole time."

Pop goes the BBB: Donald Trump's economic adviser, Stephen Moore, believes that the highest inflation rate in three decades will help to kill US President Joe Biden’s $1.75 trillion Build Back Better (BBB) act.
🗣 Moore proclaimed that “inflation is resonating with the people” and mused that there is a “50-50 chance” that the bill will be stopped.
Moore has also said that "our strategy has been delay, delay, delay," in trying to combat the passage of the bill, adding that measures such as the BBB's child tax credit could prompt the loss of anywhere between six and eight million workers.
