If any other sitting U.S. president was accused of something like this, it would be a front-page headline for weeks. For Trump, it’s just another day that ends in Y. We cannot allow this to become normalized.

Katie Johnson, 13, reported Epstein and Trump argued over who would take her virginity, and Epstein became angry and violently raped her when he learned that Donald Trump had done so. As shown by official FBI interview notes, Johnson, through her attorney, reported these alleged crimes to the FBI.

That it'll fail because they lack sufficient consolidation and centralized control does not make it trivial that the president of the United States is trying to steal elections and produce an illegitimate sham Congress. It is open rebellion against the Constitution and morally tantamount to treason.

🧵🧵🧵 The NY Times posted a 15-minute video today in which I got to tell NYT what’s wrong with its coverage. They said they saw my critical posts on Bluesky and invited me to do a video with them to air my grievances. Weird, right? I didn’t hold back. I blasted their sanewashing of MAGA extremism.

Putin told Iran the locations of our warships. Today, Trump rewarded him by lifting sanctions and allowing American dollars to fuel Russia’s war machine. Our troops are in harm’s way, and the President cut a deal with the adversary putting a target on their backs.

I can’t help but notice that ICE keeps claiming that people it shoots were trying to ram the agents with a car, and then video keeps proving that’s a lie.

Breaking news: ICE didn’t know a 5-year-old boy was in the car when an officer fired on Oscar Belgal, a Dominican man in New York, Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin said.

NEW AD: Today on House Hunters, Ken Paxton is shopping for a new house. Will he buy the three-story luxury lodge in Oklahoma? The condos at a wellness resort in Utah? The ocean-view property in Hawaii? (Spoiler alert: He won’t take one — he’ll take 15.)

Ron White: Eight of Ken Paxton’s assistants turned him into the FBI for fraud... They sued and won $6 million. Guess who paid that $6 million? You and me paid the $6 million for his bribery. His own party impeached him. He’s a criminal.

Corporate Media would have crucified Hunter if he had a Russian oligarch pay for his wedding while Biden was president, but they will bury Donald Jr. doing it. Easy to become inured to absurd asymmetric accountability, but critical to hammer home to US that Corporate Media is biased for Trump.

ICE's treatment of people in their custody since President Trump took office is an absolute failure beyond measure.   We must stop funding a lawless immigration system that treats human lives as expendable.

These whistleblower allegations are extraordinary. If Trump Administration officials knowingly built a system designed to prevent Americans from receiving their ballots, that is not election security. It is a betrayal of our Constitution and the American people.

This morning in Biddeford, Maine, a 26-year-old man said goodbye to his wife and daughter and left for work. Moments later he was dead, shot in the head by ICE agents, the second man ICE has killed in six days. ICE is killing our neighbors. ICE cannot be reformed. Abolish ICE.

What? Absolutely not. These are the actions of a wildly unpopular administration that should be mocked, not feared. Don’t give these yutzes more than they deserve by making them powerful or scary in your head.

Something we really have to grapple with: the Biden administration and Democratic congress worked pretty hard to drive real investment into rural communities, and many of them responded by spitting in the Democrats' face. This isn't an insurmountable problem, but it can't be papered over either

The Republican Party quietly deleted their own ad attacking Ken Paxton's record on crime... because Paxton is now the Republican Party's nominee to represent Texas in the U.S. Senate. Figured if the ad is important enough to delete, it's important enough to see...

I think the reason I've been a little ambiently mad all day is because January 6th rioters are statistically the most likely group of pedophiles in the world and they clubbed a guy to death and they're going to be rich from the tax money that I give to the country I live in.

Steven Cash warns Trump’s proposed January 6 "settlement" resembles the kind of state-funded loyalty network or private militia support system often seen under rising authoritarian regimes overseas.

This case was never anything more than President Trump's sham attempt to line his pockets with taxpayer funds. The Justice Department must explain its settlement agreement with the president to the American people.
