BREAKING -- Republicans on cusp of LOSING HOUSE
GOP Rep. Doug LaMalfa has suddenly died - just as Marjorie Taylor Greene officially resigned from Congress
Dems will add a seat 1/31 after special election runoff in TX-18
By 2/1, Mike Johnson can only afford to lose ONE vote
J6 attackers:
- went on tours to case the Capitol
- had tactical gear, weapons, zip ties
- planted pipe bombs the night before
- knew where non-reinforced windows were
- included organized Proud Boy and Oath Keeper units
It was NOT a "protest" run amok
IT WAS A PLANNED COUP
Five years later, remember all the things we STILL don't know about January 6:
- Who planted the pipe bombs?
- Who disabled Pence’s key card?
- Who removed the panic buttons?
- Who shared the location of the non-reinforced windows?
As a litigator for over 20 years, I've led a LOT of document productions.
If you only release 1% of a promised pool of docs - like DOJ has with the Epstein files - that means you have a LOT to hide.
It means the other 99% of the documents are RIDDLED with toxic evidence.
Never forget:
DOJ failed us.
SCOTUS failed us.
Mitch McConnell failed us.
Senate Republicans failed us.
The mainstream media failed us.
The Manhattan DA's office failed us.
Everyone said Trump was DONE after January 6.
But NO ONE did their jobs to make that happen.
Brazil - Bolsonaro leads coup, arrested the next day, tried, convicted, imprisoned
South Korea - Yoon Suk Yeol leads coup, impeached 10 days later, arrested a month after that, currently on trial for insurrection
United States - Trump leads coup, gets away with it, seizes power
BREAKING -- BIG NEWS DROPPING TOMORROW
I'm back. And I have some updates to share.
Tuesday -- 5-7pm ET -- tristansnell dot com
The problem for Trump’s base is that Trump keeps choosing himself over them.
The problem for Trump is that Trump’s base is more devoted to Q than to him.
Remember, Trump tried to pick Matt Gaetz — widely suspected of raping underage girls — as AG.
Then, Trump picked Pam Bondi — who reportedly killed Florida’s Trump University case in exchange for a $25,000 donation.
All for PRECISELY this moment — to cover up the Epstein case.
BREAKING - Trump gives Ghislaine Maxwell “limited immunity” to talk to administration officials
Are they letting Maxwell out of prison in exchange for lying that Trump was never part of Epstein’s sex trafficking?
Why else would govt talk to Maxwell - who’s already convicted?
I’ve prosecuted Trump. I’ve researched him. I’ve devoured every book and article on him.
He is DESPERATE — overreacting because the WSJ articles drew blood and are almost certainly true.
And now he’s botching everything. Suing WSJ? Terrible idea. Releasing Maxwell? Even worse.
Person A is a convicted felon, adjudicated rapist, indicted under Espionage Act
Person B has zero criminal history ever
Newspaper says Person A may’ve been a pedophile rapist and covered it up — so Person A accuses Person B of treason
Gosh how do we decide whom to believe? 🤔
🪦 RIP CBS, 1927-2025
🪦 RIP Viacom, 2005-2025
🪦 RIP Paramount, 1912-2025
BREAKING: Trump's FCC approves Paramount-Skydance merger after blocking it
Just DAYS after CBS (part of Paramount) fired Trump critic Stephen Colbert
Just WEEKS after CBS paid $36 million to Trump to settle his bullshit lawsuit vs 60 Minutes
TOTAL AND COMPLETE CORRUPTION
“No collusion”
“I won the election”
“She wasn’t my type”
“I never slept with her”
“It was a perfect phone call”
“We didn’t commit any fraud”
“I never paid her any hush money”
“There are no classified records here”
“There is no Epstein client list”
Gosh, why is Elon Musk so confident that there’s damning material in the secret unreleased Epstein files? It’s like he has some insider knowledge or something
2013 - Pam Bondi’s team at FL AG was set to join NY’s prosecution of Trump University — but Trump gave Bondi a $25,000 campaign check and the Trump U matter died
2025 - Bondi had the Epstein client list on her desk — but the matter has died
What did Trump give Bondi this time?
All this because Trump’s ex sugar daddy said he was in the secret Epstein files?
The American military that has been deployed to liberate so many people is now being deployed to oppress Americans
Dear Elon Musk:
Now why don't you share what you REALLY did to help Trump win the election?
America deserves to know.
xoxo
We the People
Dear Graduates:
Congrats! A few of you will become the next Elon Musk or Donald Trump.
The rest of you will do worse than your parents, with worse jobs and high costs - so the multi-billionaires can become even richer.
Or do you want to fight to change that?

First TACO, now TWIT:

Tariffs
It’s what we’ve been saying for months:
Trump’s tariffs are ILLEGAL.
BREAKING: COURT BLOCKS TRUMP TARIFFS
Trump LOSES in US Court of International Trade — which ruled that Trump exceeded his authorized power to jack up tariffs
Administration has 10 days to halt tariffs
MAJOR loss for Trump — and victory for lower costs for all Americans

Good time to remember:
The last time Trump was president, he ran up more than 25% of ALL the debt in the entire history of America
$7.8 TRILLION DOLLARS
And he’s about to do it again — so he and his billionaire friends, Musk and Bezos and Zuckerberg, can get tax cuts
What should be next for this newsletter?
What would you like to see? I'm curious to expand this in some new directions, and I'd love to hear from you!

Dear Jake Tapper,
No, the original sin was JANUARY 6 — and not convicting Trump immediately after.
Anything else is fake outrage to gin up ratings and book sales.

If DOGE were a private company it would be facing multiple class action lawsuits for FRAUD and false advertising.
Almost everything they’ve stated has been full of lies — one giant SCAM.
