i am inviting anyone from a legacy media organization to explain to me why the house judiciary dems report on trump’s epstein’s ties and multiple allegations of rape isn’t worthy of extensively reporting on. i’m serious. i want to understand.

Jesse Ventura to Piker: "Here's what pisses me off -- I did 2 tours, 17 months. So did my brother. Southeast Asia. That was at the same time Donald Trump was running and hiding like the coward he is. Why didn't he join us in the Vietnam War? I've heard him talk. He said he should be a general!"

NEW: "Donald Trump was an active participant in Jeffrey Epstein’s sexual abuse of young women during the mid-to-late 1990s," per new House Judiciary Dem report. Report has new allegation that Trump raped a 24-year-old and then promised the victim a visa & NYU admission, demanding she stay quiet.

Total respect for NBC's Monica Alba, who asked Trump exactly the question he needs to answer. By refusing to answer, and attacking her, he has effectively told the world that no, sexual abuse allegations do no mean a thing to him. Imagine if she wasn't there. We'd be the poorer for it.

😳 WOMAN REPORTER: Do sexual abuse allegations mean nothing to you, sir? TRUMP: Wait. Wait! Wait wait wait. Slow down. Who are you with? REPORTER: NBC, sir. But they are very serious sex abuse allegations TRUMP: Quiet! Isn't she a fresh person? You're a horrible little reporter, aren't you?

Blanche had a very different view of that rule when he represented Trump.

Q: The typical practice is DOJ doesn't usually release charges this close to an election. Even though Ms Lucas isn't on the ballot, her daughter is. Can you speak to the timing? BLANCHE: The 60 day or 90 day practice is not in writing. That's not part of the justice manual. There's nothing improper

Vance seems to admit Starlink throttling is result of Trump policy👇 Q: Musk said any decision on Starshield would come from the govt. Should there be an investigation? JD: Elon runs a private company & it's understandable he doesnt want to get in the middle of a war without the govt directing him

TRUMP: We gave nothing in exchange for Stephen. We never give anything in exchange for hostages. TRUMP LITERALLY MOMENTS LATER: If I implemented sanctions on Russia, Steven wouldn't be coming out right now.

All Republicans must be voted out of office now. We cannot abide a moment more a fascist, pro-pedophilia, pro-Kremlin political party that appears to be *explicitly* focused on collapsing the American economy, betraying all our friends, and stealing hundreds of billions from us.

Talarico: "We just found out that [Elon Musk] is almost single-handedly bankrolling this effort to install Ken Paxton in the U.S. Senate and defeat this movement...Elon Musk wants our land. He wants our water. He wants his very own personal United States senator. He is trying to buy Texas."

Trump: "Russia could've done a lot more to help Iran. Russia has done very little for Iran. China could've done a lot more for Iran. And I remember that."

every single thing Trump has done since coming down that escalator has been to help Putin but he just did a few head fakes to throw people off the scent

Q: "You said Russia and Ukraine have agreed to a ceasefire, but both sides say they have not agreed to that." Trump: "Well, they agreed. Do you know why? Because I said, 'you agree.' That's why. They agreed because I said they agreed."

Q: How do you define socialism personally? JD VANCE: I think in reality what it actually means in the American context is you want to replace American workers with foreigners workers, and you want boys to play in girls' sports

It’s really remarkable to me that 10 years into this people feel compelled to “clarify” Trump’s homicidal and often genocidal fantasies. It is deranged for the president to daydream about American cities in states he hates getting blown up. Full stop.

Normalize making Republicans explain themselves. Michigan congressional candidate Will Lawrence didn't hold back addressing his opponent's history of enabling Trump's chaotic agenda:

Gasoline prices were briefly sky-high under Biden, in the immediate aftermath of Putin's Ukraine invasion. Then they came down, well before his term ended. Gas is up +39.4% from a year ago. Diesel it at ALL TIME high prices, up +67.0% from a year ago.

The most ordinary man imaginable came to my home state to tell me to ‘get out of America’ while he & Absent Ashley enjoyed the comfort of buildings my ancestors helped build.

From 16,000 to 185 to Zero. The Trump admin claimed as many as 16,000 noncitizens had been registered to vote in Nevada. Then DHS came back and said the number was actually 185. This week, Nevada told the admin every single person on the list was a lawful citizen.

This didn't happen. What actually happened is that Russia deliberately bombed several American businesses in Ukraine. ​The Bunge oilseed plant was hit right after Senator Blumenthal's visit in a twisted demonstration of power.

Marco Rubio: "The one thing we are concerned about is that over the last few months on a number of occasions American-linked ships, American oil supplies, have been targeted -- probably not deliberately -- but targeted nonetheless by Ukraine. That needs to be addressed. We can't have that happen."

LMFAO -- Trump is holding an event at the White House right now but there's no audio because the press pool isn't there. The Newsmax host notes that this is an example of Trump's attacks on the press "backfiring just a little bit"

Trump says he's also looking at banning the Washington Post, calling it a "crummy paper" and "disgusting." Anyway, good job, Jeff Bezos! It obviously was worth losing all those scubsribers and turning your opinion section into MAGA-lite, only for the president to continue to call you "fake news."

#UkrainianView Ukraine did not choose this war. It is fighting back against the country that brought the war to its territory. There is a simple way to end Ukrainian strikes on Russia’s war machine: Russia can end the war it started.

The US President's new proposal to tax international students has been approved by the White House for release this week. It's an unprecedented $100,000 tax on int'l grads who stay to work after graduation on Optional Practical Training (most grads do), a crucial bridge to remaining by any channel.

It's easy to laugh this off as dumb Trump theatrics. But you gotta pause at the thought of the President administering an oath to his followers that conflicts with the Constitution.
