In Which We Discuss: 1. Once again and always and forever. It’s the guns, people. 2. Epstein files are out this Friday so get excited for that Venezuelan ground war you’ve been waiting for! 3. The House GOP finally has a healthcare plan, and it’s somehow even worse than Trump’s own plan to just send people money. 4. Karen Bass gears up for reelection by thinking, eating, and dreaming of the largest police force ever devised.
