MUST WATCH: A Texas voter just burned Trump and the GOP to ash.
Trump cheated on golf, his taxes, his wives, and the Constitution — Now he’s pimping out the Republican Party like a brothel.
And every last coward in that room is lining up to get fucked — Not sexually. Philosophically.

Paul Ingrassia—a 30-year-old former right-wing blogger and newly minted lawyer who was admitted to the bar in 2024—is Trump’s pick to lead the Office of Special Counsel.
Ingrassia has called Jack Smith a “disgusting man,” accused him of “election interference,” and said he should be jailed.

Update: I offered the amendment. Not to refuse acceptance of the Qatari jet; just to prohibit Trump from taking it with him when he leaves office - after the taxpayers spend $1 billion to retrofit it.
Failed 14-15. Every single Republican voted to allow Trump to take the jet.

Description of Requestexpand_more
DescriptionRequired On 17 July 2025, President Donald Trump posted on social media, "Based on the ridiculous amount of publicity given to Jeffrey Epstein, I have asked Attorney General Pam Bondi to produce any and all pertinent Grand Jury testimony, subject to Court approval. This SCAM, perpetuated by the Democrats, should end, right now!"
On behalf of my client MSW Media, I request all grand jury testimony in the criminal cases against Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. President Trump has waived all governmental privileges by directing the Attorney General to release these records.
MSW Media (https://mswmedia.com/) operates numerous podcasts and biogs about federal government operations, including Mueller She Wrote, SpyTalk, Daily Beans, and Jack. It will clearly use its editorial skills to translate disclosed records into new material.
Expedited Justification As President Trump has demonstrated in the quoted social media post, there is an extreme urgency to release these records to bring this matter to an "end, right now!" Furthermore, President Trump acknowledges the "ridiculous amount of publicity given to Jeffrey Epstein," conclusively demonstrating the urgency of this request.
Fee Waiver Justification As noted above, President Trump himself has acknowledged "the ridiculous amount of publicity given to Jeffrey Epstein" and the role that these records will play in significantly informing the public. Since MSW Media is a recognized member of the news media, there is a clear public interest in this request.
When both the President and the Attorney General explain why urgent release is in the public interest, who are we to question that, asks @muellershewrote.com.

Trump May Be Laying the Groundwork for a Medical Exit Option
Something's up.
"I think Donald Trump and his closest supporters may be laying the groundwork for the option of leaving office for medical reasons. I’m not saying that’s what they’re going to do... But I am saying that he may be keeping his options open."

One part of Republicans' Big Ugly Bill that hasn't gotten enough attention?
It DEFUNDS Planned Parenthood—a big step toward the GOP's plan for a Backdoor Nationwide Abortion Ban where women won't be able to get care anywhere.
NOW is the time to speak up against this heinous bill.

🚨 The consequences are staggering:
- 16+ million lose healthcare
- Millions of kids lose social services
- $3.3 trillion deficit to benefit the wealthy
- Tax breaks for the rich, lifetime losses for working families

A single person — Donald Trump — has released the dogs of war and done it without the consent of Congress, our allies, or even a clear explanation to the American people.
Anyone who has doubted Trump’s intention to replace our democracy with a dictatorship should now be fully disabused.

Update from Maggie Haberman
In a 4 minute address gloating over US bombing of Iran, President Trump made this statement:
“We love you, God, and we love our great military.”
This is Holy War language.
He was flanked by Hegseth, who has the Crusades motto “Deus vult” tattooed on his arm.
