Last week, I had a delivery of an appliance show up. Two, barely English speaking Hispanic men…likely in their 30’s, stepped down from the truck. I’ve never worried about being politically correct. I just don’t. I shook hands with each man, and said, “Fuck Trump! I saw relief…and huge smiles.

Kash Patel, the FBI's agent of chaos The biggest little scandal in Washington right now is how bad Patel is at being FBI director.

Kash Patel, as you might remember, had long crusaded for the release of the Epstein files and victim lists—only now in office to reverse course, downplay the whole thing, and become one of the leaders of the effort to muzzle the release of further information.

FYI: tons of replies here telling me why Trump is doing this, which I just want to point out I already know. bsky.app/profile/muel...

Odd that the DoJ is opening an investigation into the Epstein files since they said in July that there was no client list and nothing to release.

This needs to get a LOT of traction.

“The targeting of non-citizens is only really a way to normalize the targeting…of everybody.”

-Jason Stanley, Professor, University of Toronto, speaking to @velshi.com

Far too often, Donald Trump and other elites find a way to avoid accountability.

Will the Epstein files finally change that?

IT WAS THE BEST MRI OF WHATEVER EVER IT WAS SO AMAZING IT EVEN HAD DR. LECTER IN TEARS AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER

We are watching the most visible portions of the undoing of Donald Trump…in real time. MTG wouldn’t do this… unless entities of influence from the right…WANTED her to. It’s not organic. That’s a good thing. Very good. 😎

A US president is given the ability, though not the legal authority under international law, to murder anyone worldwide by placing them on a secret “terrorist” or “national security threat” list. Would you support such murders based solely on the president’s political identity? #PresidentialQuiz

Trump calls for an Epstein investigation into everyone but him The Department of Justice has launched a probe targeting prominent Democrats.

On Friday, Trump reversed the administration’s stance that there was nothing left to see in the Epstein case and ordered the FBI to target his political enemies.

Video Outside Cell During Jeffrey Epstein's First Suicide Attempt 'No Longer Exists' After first reporting that the video had been preserved, prosecutors now say that further investigation shows officials "inadvertently preserved video from the wrong tier" within the Manhattan prison.

People forget Epstein had a first “suicide attempt”

And yet, he was apparently left unmonitored until “he got it right”

Like everything else around Trump, this stinks

If you engage in an insurrection to overturn an election on behalf of the president, you get a pardon.

If you illegally possess firearms, that too will be excused.

Trump’s actions are a dangerous invitation to lawlessness, if you use that lawlessness to keep him in power.

Trump could die today and he still would not be the only US president responsible for this era in US history or for enabling Epstein’s child rape network.

"Anon now is not the time to look back, Trump is the only focus" hell no. Trump is one node, in a web of corruption, that extends across multiple administrations and parties. It does not start or end with him, and right now, is the time.

Democrats inject "Epstein files" into special election that's scaring GOP "The Epstein files are locked away. Matt Van Epps will keep them that way," a new ad says.

Republicans are getting worried about the upcoming special election in #TN07, where @aftynbehn.bsky.social has all of the momentum.

Trump finally admits his tariffs raise prices With grocery costs spiking, Trump drops import taxes on more than one hundred products.

Despite warnings from economists, Trump has repeatedly claimed his taxes on foreign trade do not raise prices. But on Friday, he began rolling some back.

Just in the past 3 days, I happened to speak to an academic, a US politician and a former Biden official who had all received death threats and severe harassment from the MAGA movement. It's now a common experience. I am sorry MTG has to live through the same thing, but she can't be surprised
