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.

WTF. We need a full investigation and retrieval of every single file. What a bunch of crooks.

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..."

Thinking about the six lawmakers who told the military they don’t have to obey unlawful orders.

Unconscionable. Trump, Miller, Hegseth must be held accountable. Same for ending investigations into terrorism threats against the U.S. So much blood on their hands.

This is clearly fine with the GOP.

The only people who believed DOGE was cutting government waste were Trump’s cult members.

Holy shit - this would be very, very bad:
"The databases, called “Numident” and the “Master Death File,” include records for more than 500 million living and dead Americans, including Social Security numbers, places and dates of birth, citizenship, race and ethnicity, and parents’ names."

Putin wins. Higher oil prices fund his fight against Ukraine.
Netanyahu wins because he’s in the midst of a corruption trial in Israel & very much wants a pardon and distraction.
Trump wins minimal distraction from the Epstein files which implicate him more and more with each new document.

🛢️ U.S fossil fuel industry funded Trump.

🇻🇪 Trump overthrew the Venezuelan gov’t to exploit world’s largest oil reserves.

💣 Trump starts war, choking off Middle East oil and gas supply.

💰 Oil hits $100+ a barrel.

📈 U.S fuel companies make billions.

💸 Follow the money.

Remember guys, you can’t afford a gas rig, or a coal mine, or a nuclear power station, but you can afford to put some cheap solar panels on your roof.

That’s why the fossil fuel industry has spent billions trying to kill renewable energy.

The dealer needs to keep you addicted.

COLLINS: I want to remember something you said last summer

*plays Marshall a clip of him saying "I think it will take years for Iran to restart their nuclear program"*

SEN. MARSHALL: Look, I was wrong. I believe we obliterated those nuclear facilities, but now they're restarting programs elsewhere

No doubt Harris should win. Really…he already has. Trump’s guy came in 2nd.

There are still 1,500 votes to count and this election is definitely going to runoff but it sure looks like the democrat Shawn Harris is going to get the most votes in Marjorie Taylor Greene's district in Georgia.

Democrat Shawn Harris is massively over performing Kamala’s vote in 2024 in the Georgia Special Election to replace Marjorie Taylor Greene. If no one gets 50% the top 2 candidates will go to a run off. Trump’s endorsed candidate is running second at the moment #ProudBlue #USDemocracy

No, no, no you don’t WAPO. It’s: Trump backed candidate trails Democrat in race to replace Marjorie Taylor Green.

NEWS: Democrat Shawn Harris has forced a runoff in the special election for Marjorie Taylor Greene’s deep-red Georgia seat (Trump +37).

With ~70% in, Harris leads with 38.3% to Trump-endorsed Republican Clay Fuller’s 34.5%.

Runoff set for April 7. A major warning sign for MAGA.

So a Democrat leads the vote over a Trump backed candidate —in GA race to replace MTG.
Nothing usual about that.

This still makes absolutely no sense unless someone was strong arming them to manipulate polls regarding a very unpopular president.

BREAKING: As many as 150 U.S. troops have been wounded in the war with Iran, according to sources familiar—far higher than the Pentagon’s publicly disclosed figure of just 8 seriously wounded troops. The true toll of this war is already far worse than the public has been told. (Reuters)

Blumenthal after getting briefed on Iran: "We seem to be on a path toward deploying American troops on the ground in Iran to accomplish any of the potential objectives here. There's also the specter of active Russian aid to Iran putting in danger American lives ... China also may be assisting Iran"

AOC: The Pentagon has not passed an audit, and they are out here trying to kick people with disabilities off of Medicaid. It is corruption that is stealing from the public coffers — and that is the actual waste, fraud, and abuse.
