Ivanka Trump & Jared Kushner worked with real estate brothers—today found guilty of raping at least 60 women.

Oren, Tal & Alon are "big Trump supporters" who were "in the room" on election night & attended White House parties.

Some victims given drugs & taken across state lines.

Altar for Alex Pretti in front of the apartment building where he lived. A few votive candles, two other candles in jars, a bright orange flower, two photos of Alex - one wearing a backpack on trail in the woods, one with his bike wearing biker gear.

Ended up on the block tonight where Alex Pretti lived. Pretty much every home had his portrait in a window.

I’ll never forget what they did to him.

I’ll never forget how good we’ve been to each other.

where i come down on this is that you either care about what Amanda is talking about or you do not. and if you don't that's your preference. i think these tools can be impressive. and i read to try to get closer to other people...to let them occupy real estate in my brain. these things are different

If the Dems who win in the 2026 midterms get squeamish about prosecuting this administration, we'll need to elect a bunch of new people running on Nuremberg shit for 2028. This isn't a joke. It's the law. It's justice. Biden let Trump back in the WH and this happened because Joe didn't do his job

If Iran does anything that stops the flow of Oil within the Strait of Hormuz, they will be hit by the United States of America TWENTY TIMES HARDER than they have been hit thus far. Additionally, we will take out easily destroyable targets that will make it virtually impossible for Iran to ever be built back, as a Nation, again — Death, Fire, and Fury will reign upon them — But I hope, and pray, that it does not happen! This is a gift from the United States of America to China, and all of those Nations that heavily use the Hormuz Strait. Hopefully, it is a gesture that will be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP

Trump is completely flailing. He didn't anticipate the economic blowback and now he's trying to undo the past 10 days and contain the damage.

If you’re roughly my age, it’s wild to reflect on the optimism for the future Americans felt when Obama was elected — young Americans spontaneously took to the streets to celebrate! — and contrast with what we face today. The falloff over the past 18 years is hard to process.

This is not true—driver’s licenses aren’t acceptable under the SAVE Act without additional proof of citizenship. The fact that they keep doing this sleight of hand should make clear that the SAVE Act is not something that “every American gets”

I understand that there are a lot of folks on the left who instinctively recoil from religious language, and with good reason given its use by the right.

But please listen to this, and focus on how he's trying to realign "Christian values" so they align with and advance progressive policy goals.

this is frankly one of the most bonkers 60 seconds in Fox & Friends history -- Lawrence Jones chastising Democrats for hurting Trump by commenting on realty immediately followed by Brian Kilmeade admonishing tanker captains to "show some guts and go through that Strait." Incredible stuff.

I know several ship captains with Master Unlimited licenses who have piloted the largest vessels on the oceans and they are—to the man—the most risk-adverse people on Earth. They are responsible for dozens of lives and hundreds of millions in assets. 0% chance any sail through Hormuz for a while.

Former Missouri House speaker sentenced to prison for COVID relief fraud A former top Missouri lawmaker has been sentenced to 21 months in prison for misusing pandemic relief funds.

Former Republican House Speaker John Diehl received about $380,000 in federal loans for his law firm between 2020 and 2022 through a program intended to help cover operating expenses for businesses affected by the coronavirus pandemic.

Israel is why I can’t see any way for Trump and Iran to simply call the whole thing off. Israel has fully committed to this war, presumably because it scored the coup of getting Big Brother Trump to commit to regime change. If Trump walks out now they’re stuck with a furious and undefeated Iran!

They are murdering civilians on the high seas.

They are murdering civilians in 🇮🇷.

They are murdering civilians in concentration camps.

They are murdering civilians on the streets of 🇺🇸 cities.

These are not problems that can be fixed with new laws or more court orders.

If Bellingcat has confirmed this, then surely the Pentagon knows it hit the girls’ school too — and is simply lying to us about that fact right now.

This should be unacceptable in a thousand different ways.
