Democrats are losing AI because of a big messaging problem

The House GOP has circulated a memo aimed at countering Democrats' claims regarding President Trump's connections to Jeffrey Epstein.

This call comes amid ongoing discussions about transparency and accountability in political matters.

The prolonged shutdown has left many questioning the effectiveness of political leadership and the implications for future governance.
