Former active duty US Marine Sgt & retired IT project director/consultant now a dual Canadian/US citizen living in Canada, proud woke liberal gearing up for the 2026 midterms. 🚫 DMs unless it's important (no, "hi, how's your day?" doesn't count), please.
How do you think it would have been covered if President Obama had to pay $5 million to a woman he sexually abused and defamed?
Do you think the White House press would have asked him about it?

EPIC. 👌🏼
After spending an entire speech throwing subtle jabs at them, in that suave, diplomatic British style ... they cluelessly gave him multiple standing ovations. 😄
It's all madness. Trump is deranged—a criminal & predator—immoral, abusive & dishonest. He's a liar—a charter member of the Epstein class. Trump’s cabinet is a menagerie of unfitness, corruption & treason. Nothing like it has ever existed in over 250 years.

I have never served in the military or been to the Middle East, but I did win my fraternity's Battleship tournament senior year at Bucknell. Here's how the Navy should secure the Strait of Hormuz... (1/24)
watch Markwayne Mullin's facial expression as Rand Paul confronts him for "never having the courage to look me in the eye and tell me that the assault was justified. Today you'll have your chance. Tell it to my face."
Whoa. Prince Andrew arrested over Epstein scandal.
The difference between the impact on government and government officials in Europe/England and here, and the continuing effort to minimize Trump’s role, are stunning.
Jones: All you do is keep people fearful because you get paid 45 million a year to keep people fearful so they don’t pay attention to the CEOS taking their healthcare. You don’t care about the American people. You want them to be afraid of immigrants because all you have is fear.
HAPPENING NOW: In federal court in MN, DOJ is struggling to articulate why a person following an ICE vehicle — so long as they are obeying traffic laws — can be stopped for "reasonable suspicion" of a crime.
Judge Menendez sharply questioning that contention.
“Can’t believe NYC elected a Muslim as mayor.”
In truth—a Black American Christian woman swearing in a Ugandan American Muslim of South Asian ethnicity as his Syrian American wife holds the Qurans he swears in on, all while standing on the steps of a subway station—is the most NYC thing imaginable.
Oh my goodness, this Wall Street Journal piece about Trump's ailing health that includes an interview with him (gift link). There are a number of ridiculous details in it and I'll put a few of them in this thread. (1/6)
Question: But the president’s statements that he believed the election was rife with fraud—those are statements protected by the First Amendment, correct?
Smith: Absolutely not. If they are made to target a lawful government function and are made with knowing falsity, then no, they are not.
The overwhelming majority of jobs at the two biggest companies in America pay less than $20/hr.
Meanwhile, the heads of those companies are some of the richest people on the planet.
See the problem?
To be clear, this should be one of the biggest scandals to ever reach the presidency.
DOJ - after illegally scrubbing Trump from the Epstein files - is retroactively removing files they missed that would be embarrassing to the President.
It’s a complete affront to Justice.
Since I’m getting “what did I miss” from alot, Paramount Plus, owner of CBS spiked the El Salvador CECOT prison story yesterday on 60 minutes because it made the White House look bad. Cancel paramount plus
Censorship. Bari Weiss
BRENNAN: What are you going to do to force DOJ to comply?
MASSIE: The quickest way and most expeditious way to get justice for these victims is to bring inherent contempt against Pam Bondi. That doesn't require going through the courts. We're drafting that right now.
Pamela Jo Bondi, doing her part to help an administration that calls itself, with a seemingly straight face, "The Most Transparent in American History."
We must operate under the assumption that EVERY redaction is a detailed account of Trump raping children. It's the only reasonable conclusion until he proves otherwise.
Lol, Rump's phony bonus for service members comes out of a fund to assist them with housing.
Literally gifting them money that's already theirs.
Everything about this guy is a con.
Urgent update.
Our bipartisan petition to force a vote on a straightforward extension of the Affordable Care Act tax credits now has 218 signatures.
Mike Johnson should bring the bill to the floor immediately.
1. A blockade is an act of war
2. The idea that Venezuela has stolen land from the United States is so laughably stupid on its face that even some of his base is like 🤨
3. It’s always about oil.
Massive defeat for Mike Johnson. Still has to clear the senate, but this is what Dems wanted all along. Johnson has essentially lost control of the gavel after Epstein and now this. Weakest speaker in history.
Let’s remember: Maxwell is not just Epstein’s pal. She is also a trafficker and a serial abuser of women and girls. She was right at the heart of one of the most notorious sex trafficking rings in history. Despite all that, Trump himself says a pardon for Maxwell is on the table.
Second, the cushy treatment by the Trump administration of Ghislaine Maxwell is unacceptable. Who moved her to a cushy minimum security facility? Who are the secret visitors she’s getting? Why didn’t the Deputy AG follow up on ANY of the lies she told him in her interview?
All of us hope that the Trump administration follows the law and releases the Epstein files on Friday. But there are very good reasons to be skeptical of whatever the Trump administration releases.
I’ll share a few reasons why.
