The acting White House chief of staff has clashed with the Labor secretary, who is under fire for cutting a deal with billionaire pedophile Jeffrey Epstein in 2008.
When I saw the above picture of Acosta's family, my first thought was that they look unhealthy. The children are peaked with circles under their eyes and no one is showing any emotion. I hope those girls are OK.

Ralph Shortey, a former Oklahoma state senator who last year served as Donald Trump's campaign chair in the state, was meticulous about keeping up his reputation as a pious man, according to several fellow Oklahomans. That reputation, however, has all but disappeared. According to Shortey's attorney, the former Republican lawmaker will plead guilty to one count of child sex trafficking on Nov. 30.

I Can't Think of One Good Reason To Give A Light Sentence To Anyone Who Sexually Abused Girls. Not One.
Labor Secretary Alex Acosta vigorously defended his handling of a 2008 plea deal with billionaire Jeffrey Epstein, saying "facts are being overlooked" as critics question whether he was too lenient as Epstein faced allegations he sexually abused underage girls.
In a news conference, the embattled official said he welcomed new charges against Epstein from New York prosecutors and said abuse victims' statements are handled differently now.
Why did Acosta effectively pardon Epstein's unnamed co-conspirators in the settlement?
They did God’s work, finally bringing some belated justice to this pedophile sex trafficker. The next step for reporters is to clinically, carefully, unmask ever last person who covered for and enabled this pedophile over the years. - Jonathan Swan, Axios

Federal prosecutors in Philadelphia have seized a container ship operated by the Mediterranean Shipping Co., weeks after authorities found more than $1 billion worth of cocaine on the vessel in what was one of the largest drug busts in American history.
US Customs and Border Protection seized the ship on July 4, a statement out Monday said. The ship is owned by client assets in a maritime strategy offered by JPMorgan Asset Management, according to a person familiar with the matter. It is operated by the Switzerland-based MSC.
