The Epstein files need to become the Epstein trials.
Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche admits that the DOJ excluded all images showing “death, physical abuse, or injury” from Epstein files release.
Just stumbling around trying to figure out how the world works.
Your daily reminder that not a single Epstein client has been arrested.

“In all my years, this seems the most unstable.”
Maybe you shouldn’t have been hyping that unstable man then.
We’d be in a much better spot.

I keep seeing people ask about the 25th Amendment.
Guys. His entire Cabinet is walking around in shoes that don’t fit because they’re scared to take them off.
The 25th is never happening.

New in PN: Trump’s military excursion, into an abyss
"The evident fact is that the president is completely nuts, and that he’s 'governing' the country — and has now taken the US to war — based on his impulses alone, without even the pretense of a strategy or goal."
Sen. Joni Ernst: "People are split on this, but they understand the threat to the homeland and if we want to protect Americans here, we have to send our service men abroad"
I hope this is one of the most consequential pieces I will have ever written.
Epstein and His Co-Conspirators’ New York Crimes: What NY officials can now do
This dangerous drunk is an absolute psychopath.
The Federal Government has not demonstrated a strong likelihood of success on the merits or “serious legal questions” coupled with a balance of hardships tipping decidedly in its favor. Any harm from the investigation- specific disqualification is abstract at best, whereas granting a stay would reinstate an official who acted without lawful authority -- a clear injury to the State Government. The public interest likewise favors ensuring that governmental power is exercised only by officials with lawful authority. Each factor, and all four taken together, weigh against granting a stay.
Another defeat for another unconstitutionally appointed Trump DOJ prosecutor:
Ex-Trump campaign lawyer John Sarcone will remain disqualified as U.S. Attorney for Albany, and his subpoenas to Letitia James' office will stay quashed.
He's not likely to succeed on appeal, a judge finds.
Yes.
ICE agents don't get to carve out a First Amendment exception for themselves.

(🧵) BREAKING NEWS THREAD: Those of you who've been reading PROOF OF DEVILRY—the exhaustive exposé of the Trump-Epstein Scandal—are cheering today.
Congressional questioning confirms my reporting that one way Epstein helped interfere in the 2016 election was illegal in-kind campaign contributions.
"He told a colleague, who refused to help him upload the data because of legal concerns, that he expected to receive a presidential pardon if his actions were deemed to be illegal..."

If his brain were mush it would be an improvement
Another word you might use for it is "looting".
"This appears to be the first administration to take such widespread advantage of taxpayer-funded military housing to accommodate political appointees who do not have a direct connection to the military..."

"The first 2 days of this war cost $5.6 billion. I seem to remember a president coming into office on the pretext he would focus on America First. And yet he's cut healthcare, cut food assistance, sent the cost of everything higher, but we have plenty of money for war."

Iowa farmer: This fertilizer shortage is going to affect everybody. It could lead to a decrease in yields. If you look at that countrywide, corn, soybeans, cotton, rice, that will increase prices. It's gonna be a train wreck for consumers.
At first blush, it seems like a good idea. It would help consumers in the short term. But
1. It also helps Trump and republicans who would take credit
2. Tax holidays are often windfalls for oil companies
3. Doesn’t address the core issue
4. We need that tax revenue
What do you think?
The DNC is suing the Trump administration for refusing to answer a simple question, “are you planning to put armed agents or military at polling places?” They submitted 11 FOIA requests and have gotten zero answers.

A purpose of the war on Iran might well be to provoke a terrorist attack inside the United States, thereby justifying the need to “federalize” elections. We must anticipate it, with sadness and resolution, and not be surprised, if it happens.

DOGE said it was cutting government waste.
So they gutted USAID — the agency that feeds starving people around the world.
Meanwhile the Pentagon spent millions on lobster, ribeye, and even a $98,000 piano.

🎩 Living in America, is exhausting
Hustle culture, is dead we are done
The juice, isn’t worth the squeeze

If we don’t do this now, then we have no future, it’s only going to get worse!
SHUT THIS WHOLE COUNTRY DOWN!
