A federal appeals court panel has affirmed the dismissal of President Trump’s $475M defamation lawsuit against CNN for using the term β€œthe Big Lie,” calling his claims β€œunpersuasive” and β€œmeritless.”

It's the latest of Trump’s failed lawsuits against media reporting on his lies. trib.al/EiMwW34

On Dec. 8, 2015, Jeffrey Epstein offers a NY Times reporter photos of Donald Trump and "girls in bikinis in my kitchen." Epstein tells the reporter that he "gave" Trump his "20 year old girlfriend...after two years."

When people looked into these type of rumors the Times smugly criticized them.

Ghislaine Maxwell lied about Trump never going to Epstein's house (directly contradicted by her email correspondence with Epstein), and she was rewarded for that lie with a transfer to a cushier prison. The coverup is happening in plain sight.

The silence of congressional Republicans to all the Trump corruption - from his disgusting pardons, to the UAE crypto money, to the Qatari jet, and the ballroom, should be used against all of them in midterms along with their silence on tariffs which has made things unaffordable.

Democrats should be drawing up legislation right now, this very minute, to bar Trump from helping himself to $230 million in taxpayer funds from DOJ. Challenge Republicans to hold a vote on it. Push this so hard in the media that every GOP Senate and House candidate is pressed to comment on it.

The 3 shutdown strategies of Mike Johnson:

1. Label many millions of peaceful protesters domestic terrorists who hate America.

2. Keep Republican Reps home.

3. Refuse to seat a swing-state, latino-American member, which also highlights his Epstein obstruction.

Pure genius.

Trump vowed to halve electricity prices. But they’re rising twice as fast as inflation | CNN Business On the campaign trail last summer, President Donald Trump promised to swiftly cut electricity and energy prices in half if voters returned him to the White House.

Trump promised to cut electricity bills in HALF. Instead, they’re rising TWICE AS FAST as inflation.

Families are paying more while he blocks clean energy and props up aging coal plants.

How airlines lobbied away your flight compensation After a $62 billion federal bailout, the airline industry secures the repeal of a key consumer protection.

1. If passengers book a flight from the EU and it is canceled or significantly delayed, they are entitled to cash compensation β€” $300 to $700.

In the US, flyers were supposed to get similar rights soon.

But those plans have been scrapped by the Trump administration.

Here's how it happened.

The GOP spent millions supporting mail ballots. Now Trump’s attacking them again. Trump wants to roll back mail voting that he baselessly claims is ripe for fraud.

Trump's renewed war on mail-in voting is threatening to sabotage his own party. After the GOP spent millions to reassure supporters, his scaremongering could erase their gains and set up a new round of election denials should the party lose the mid-terms.
