Did Trump and Vance say thank you?

This is a good lesson for journalists: Use plain language to state true things clearly.

In 24 hours, Republicans have blocked FIVE attempts from Democrats to fund TSA, FEMA, our cyber defenses, & Coast Guard while talks continue to rein in ICE & Border Patrol.

Republicans are holding TSA agents' paychecks hostage so they can give more $ to ICE, with no reforms.

We’ve never, ever had this before. A President completely untethered to truth. I mean completely untethered to truth. That’s such a bad thing. But you know what’s even worse? Way, way too many people don’t care. And way too much of the media no longer cares.

Russia says it shot down two British-supplied Storm Shadow missiles Russian Defence Ministry said on ​Wednesday that its forces ‌shot down two British-supplied Storm Shadow missiles over ​the past 24 ​hours, according to the ⁠RIA news agency.

Had to doublecheck the date on this

The DOJ has been taking down Epstein files. Here's what remains. The massive tranche of files the Justice Department currently maintains is more than 65,000 pages shorter than what the agency initially released.

The Trump DOJ has been taking down Epstein files.

The massive tranche of files the Justice Department currently maintains is more than 65,000 pages shorter than what the agency initially released, according to a CBS analysis — and the number continues to fluctuate.

Huge slap in the face to democracy. Democratic Colorado governor, @colorado.gov, just publicly signaled clemency to Tina peters, convicted of election interference. If election crimes have no consequences, why would the next denier stop?

New reports reveal Kash Patel fired a dozen FBI agents specializing in Iranian counterintelligence operations days before Trump launched strikes on Iran.

Yesterday, Pete Hegseth warned of Iranian sleeper cells on American soil.

DOJ Examined Men in Epstein’s Orbit Accused of Sex Crimes. None Were Charged. Several women told investigators after Jeffrey Epstein’s 2019 death that they were sexually abused by his associates. The Justice Department has said the files include unverified allegations.

"Multiple women alleged to prosecutors that they were sexually assaulted by high-profile associates of Jeffrey Epstein, according to the recently released Epstein files. None of the men were charged."

Rep. Marlin Stutzman, R-Ind., said today:
“To those who say, ‘Well, President Trump said he wasn’t going to take us into any wars,’ he’s keeping us out of wars in the long run.”
He has to know that makes no sense. MAGA is a con job.

Just remember what this is all for…. Distracting from the Epstein files

It’s insane this is legal. People around Trump are profiting off war and death. I’m introducing legislation ASAP to ban this.

Ain’t it conspicuous that it just so happens the missing Epstein pages are about Donald Trump?

I mean, like what are the odds?

FBI’ “Stand Down” Directive to NYPD on Jeffrey Epstein Investigations, and More The most comprehensive timeline to date of the publicly available record on New York law enforcement authorities’ action and inaction with regard to Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell and other potential co-c...

“Just five days after Jeffrey Epstein’s arrest in the summer of 2019, federal authorities ‘directed’ NYPD to ‘stand down’ its investigations related to Epstein, new documents released by the Department of Justice show. …”

Trump, July 19: "All three nuclear sites in Iran were completely destroyed and/or OBLITERATED. It would take years to bring them back into service."

Witkoff, Sunday: "They're probably a week away from having industrial-grade bomb-making material."

I don't know about you, but I feel safer.

Because rank hypocrisy is the essential fuel of Texas GOP politics

Hey everyone. Potentially the biggest story in the country, right here. substack.com/home/post/p-...

Trump Rages at Bill Maher In Bonkers Oddly-Detailed Rant President Donald Trump raged at comedian and pundit Bill Maher in a rambling and oddly detailed rant that included a derisive account of their dinner together.

No tears for Bill Maher. He deserves all the shit Trump gives him bcuz for the past 2yrs, Maher has tried to normalize Trump. Maher met with Trump privately & said how nice Trump was. Trump is everything our Founders feared. Shame on anyone who normalizes that. www.mediaite.com/media/entert...

Was being in the Epstein files a prerequisite to being in Trump's cabinet?

Jeffrey Epstein Advised an Elon Musk Associate on Taking Tesla Private The financier recommended adding Margaret Thatcher to Tesla’s board, even though she had been dead for five years.

In 2018, after Musk infamously claimed that he had the funding to take Tesla private, his PR consultant went to Jeffrey Epstein for help convincing the Saudis to put up the cash he didn't actually have. Epstein also strategized on press coverage of Musk and recommended names for Tesla's board.

WaPo editorial board when TX imposes a legislative gerrymander: don't freak out guys! Not a threat to democracy!

When VA responds to TX with *referendum* on their own gerrymander: brass-knuckled hypocrisy, anti-democratic gamesmanship.

There is hypocrisy here, all right, but not from VA.

Make Peter Thiel into the villain, Democrats.

It's all there.

He is the node that connects Trump, Vance, Palantir, Musk, Epstein, and so many other terrible players.

Just expose it and make him and Musk the face of these psychopathic billionaires ruining our lives.

That Jeff Bezos's Amazon gave Brett Ratner, someone photographed with Jeffrey Epstein and in the Epstein Files, $75 million to make a doc about Melania Trump, while he chooses to destroy The Washington Post, says about all you need to know.

Citadel’s Ken Griffin says Trump White House has ‘enriched’ family members Wall Street figure and Republican donor offers rare public criticism of perceived administration’s self-dealing

Observing the patently obvious, Ken Griffen says that Trump has exploited the White House and his control of government to pursue personal enrichment on a scale hitherto unknown in the United States. www.ft.com/content/129b...

the owner just spent 75 million on a film that opened with a 7 million take

Never forget: Pam Bondi and Kash said there was nothing in the Epstein files back in March
