Jon Grimson

NEW: I've filed a claim with Todd Blanche for compensation from the $1.776B slush fund for the unlawful investigation by the government into my podcast in August 2019. I'm seeking $8.647 million in compensation for weaponized lawfare - the equivalent of punitive damages, lost pay and retirement.

The letter from Bill and Hillary Clinton to James Comer explaining their refusal to testify in his Epstein investigation is really remarkable, not like any letter of this genre I've seen. It's signed by them, not a lawyer, and the arguments are not legal ones. Reprinted from their X account:

👀 WOW — “Speaker Johnson is stalling Grijalva until Van Epps gets there to cancel out her vote?” TN-7 nominee @aftynbehn.bsky.social tells us Johnson plans for Van Epps to help him cover up the Epstein files. (His weak answer to NC5 is another clue🕵️ )

Newsom: They did not expect California. They did not expect all of you. They thought we were going to write an op-ed, have a candlelight vigil, maybe do a rally. They poked the bear and the bear is poking back

Lutnick on Epstein: Devine: So how come these other people could hang around him and not see it? Lutnick: They participated. That's what his M.O. was, "Get a massage" And what happened in that massage room, I assume is on video. This guy was the greatest blackmailer ever. That's how he had money.

MADELEINE DEAN: The president is unhinged. He's unwell JOHNSON: A lot of folks on your side are too D: Oh my god, please. That performance in front of the generals? J: I didn't see it D: It's so dangerous! Our allies are looking elsewhere. Our enemies are laughing. You have a POTUS who's unwell.

🚨MAJOR BREAKING: DOJ Deputy Chief Joseph Schnitt was caught on a hidden camera saying the government will “redact every Republican” from the Epstein files and leave only the Democrats. He also revealed that Ghislaine Maxwell was transferred to a minimum security “to keep her mouth shut.”

Trump struggled to walk in a straight line as he went to greet Putin

Texas Democrats know how to fight.

@marcelias.bsky.social: We "need to tell Republicans that if they take 5 seats, we're going to put 30 seats on the table... When people say to me 'don't bring a knife to a gunfight,' I don't even want to bring a gun to a gunfight. I want to bring missiles to the gunfight."

Writes Betsy Phillips: Grandstanding Republican Rep. Andy Ogles is now directing his ire at a school where rich Republicans like to put their philanthropic efforts.

Donald Trump is a Manchurian Candidate for Putin! Putin could not possibly destroy the United States any better than trump. Whatever he spent to buy him is the cheapest war play ever! It is crystal clear now! Also, why is Elon simply destroying our institutions?

Really love this cartoon from the great Michael De Adder. The outpouring of support coming in has been truly amazing! Thanks everybody!

Mark my words: They will be CONSTANTLY shitting all over the military for the next four years straight. I'm fucked right now. To all those who decided not to vote: Fuck you. Every goddamn one of you. 🖕🤡🖕

The National Treasury Employees Union, which represents federal government employees in 37 agencies and departments, has sued President Donald Trump over his order that makes it easier to fire career civil servants and replace them with political loyalists.

Sergeant Gonell @sergeantaqgo.bsky.social sent me this picture. This is his call log. Each call is an automated Dept of "Justice" notification saying "The defendant you testified against is being released from the dept of corrections." Each defendant assaulted him.

This longer excerpt from Schumer's press office puts into context that Schumer was mocking Trump for caring about the wrong things.

Jeff Bezos never wanted this cartoon to become public. He killed it, and as a result, pulitzer prize editorial cartoonist Ann Telnaes quit. Make sure everyone sees this cartoon.

ICYMI: A U.S. House ethics panel voted unanimously to further investigate the campaign finances of Tennessee's 5th District Rep. Andy Ogles, finding he likely reported an inflated personal loan to make his bid for office look stronger.

Here’s how I responded on that point: bsky.app/profile/sara...

"I had to take a peek at our competition today. I turned on CNN, MSNBC, and Fox. It was 24/7 bashing of President Biden for pardoning his son Hunter. It was pathetic," writes @meiselasb.bsky.social.

What does a group of privileged white male politicians know about oppression? Republicans pushed a bill firing all workers in offices related to DEI - because according to them, diversity oppresses white men. I gave a vocabulary lesson on the meaning of oppression. www.youtube.com/watch?v=hCwO...

Through executive order, President Biden should mandate that the FBI conduct background investigations on Trump’s picks and instruct the FBI to begin the process now. The U.S. Senate should use its power to request the same of the FBI.

Jarvis: His generals called him fascist. Joe Scarborough called him fascist, and now the fascist is in charge and it is journalism's job to cover it that way, not to back off and say okay, well that's it, we lost. Let the fascism happen. No

How can trump’s billionaire friends allow these incompetents to hold key positions? The economy will tank. I don’t get it.

This is the place now
