📷 Unpublished photos show the intimate relationship between Ghislaine Maxwell and Jeffrey Epstein.

One of Ghislaine Maxwell's accusers claimed she once saw a photo of the British socialite “nude and pregnant” inside of Jeffrey Epstein's Florida mansion. However, Maxwell is not known to have any children.

Maxwell, come clean! Where did you hide the baby? (unless, of course, the witness confused her with someone else)

Mitch McConnell just folded on the Debt Ceiling, a total victory for the Democrats—didn’t use it to kill the $5 Trillion Dollar (real number!) Build Back Worse Bill that will essentially change the fabric of our Country forever. The Old Crow’s two-month extension, and the break up of the Bill into two parts, gave the Democrats everything they needed. The Dems would have folded completely if Mitch properly played his hand, and if not, the Debt Ceiling scenario would be far less destructive than the Bill that will get passed. He has all the cards to win, but not the “guts” to play them. Instead, he gives our Country away, just like he did with the two Senate seats in Georgia, and the Presidency itself. The Old Crow is a disaster!

🖋 Former Trump White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows filed a lawsuit Wednesday seeking to invalidate the subpoenas issued by the House select committee examining the Jan. 6 Capitol riot. The suit describes the subpoenas for documents and testimony issued to Meadows in September as “overly broad and unduly burdensome”.

The key issue in the filing is the committee’s bid to obtain cell phone records from Meadows and “a third-party telecommunications company,” records which Meadows argues the panel “lacks lawful authority to seek and to obtain.”

❓ The committee had no immediate response to the Meadows lawsuit. Will they now move forward with contempt proceedings?

Biden announces Presidential Initiative for Democratic Renewal at Democracy Summit

❗️A new 'D11' alliance may result from the Summit for Democracy, which is being hosted by Biden amid rising tensions with Russia and China, former NATO chief Anders Fogh Rasmussen tells Newsweek.

The alliance could be led by G7 members, as well as Australia, India, and South Korea.

Overseen by a permanent secretariat, it would set global norms and standards for the use of emerging technology, such as AI and social media. The democratic alliance should also create an "economic Article 5" inspired by NATO's collective defense article, Rasmussen believes.

Ian Brzezinski, the former George W. Bush-era deputy assistant of defence for Europe and NATO Policy and son of famed US geopolitical grand strategist Zbigniew Brzezinski, proposed “punishing” Russia financially preemptively over actions it has not taken in Ukraine: “We ought to be taking some preliminary economic steps now ... may be stopping some payments on oil and gas transfers, maybe in a couple days shutting Russia off from SWIFT. These are steps that would demonstrate that the larger sanctions that we’re threatening are real.”
