“.. When past presidents balked at the possibility of war with Iran, they weren’t just dodging a hard choice; they were deterred by all of the obvious reasons a conflict could perilously spiral. Nobody should be shocked that the expected is now coming to pass.”

I think Trump knows exactly what he's doing with the shoes, it's another humiliation thing.

If it wasn't, they'd just rebuy the exact same Florsheim shoe in the right size and wear that. But they know he'd notice those aren't the clown shoes he gave them, so they can't do it.

Poland is asking France and Sweden for help in investigating human trafficking tied to Jeffrey Epstein. Meanwhile, the U.S. has still not released the full files, 80+ days past Congress’ deadline.

These companies all settled lawsuits with Donald Trump by promising to donate as much as $63 MILLION to his presidential library.

But then, Trump dissolved a library fund.

So where'd the money go?

I'm pressing these CEOs for answers.

BREAKING: Senate Republicans just blocked my bill to fund TSA and FEMA... AGAIN.

This isn't complicated: if Republicans won't agree to rein in ICE & CBP, they should AT MINIMUM work with us to fund TSA.

But they won't.

The f*ck did you think was going to happen when America started ANOTHER war in the Middle East, without an actual mission, without a coalition, without a reason, without knowing what victory looks like, and without the Commander in Chief being able to articulate any actual goals? JFC people!

Despite the Trump administration’s efforts to rewrite election laws, U.S. elections are secure, free, and fair. The law is on the voters’ side. “Don’t despair, prepare,” says @wendyweiser.bsky.social on The Briefing with Michael Waldman. bit.ly/4dft4jb

The Cabinet Office’s summary of what was known of Mandelson’s relationship with Epstein at the end of 2024. What is not clear is why this wasn’t sufficient for the PM to veto Mandelson’s appointment as ambassador in Washington

Exclusive: Foreign hacker in 2023 compromised Epstein files held by FBI, source and documents show The hack occurred after a server at the Child Exploitation Forensic Lab in the FBI’s New York Field Office was inadvertently left vulnerable by a special agent.

Lovely.

Most likely Trump and his Administration are being blackmailed by a foreign country to cover up the Epstein Files.

DHS terminates Camp East Montana operations contract, hires new provider The Department of Homeland Security terminated the contract for Camp East Montana in El Paso, Texas, hiring a new provider to improve conditions.

ICE confirms that the infamous Camp East Montana will NOT be shut down. Instead, they're giving the contract wholly to Amentum, previously the subcontractor for Acquisition Logistics, the tiny VA military contractor which inexplicably got a $1.2 billion contract.

BREAKING: A judge refused to block a Kansas law that invalidates the driver’s licenses of transgender people and allows trans people to be sued for using public restrooms.

This isn't the final say, and we will keep fighting in court to stop this discriminatory law.
