so . . . is the White House plan to rely on the Senate to filibuster the release of the Epstein files, or is he thinking he'll sign the bill, but then DOJ will say they can't release anything because there is an active investigation.

During yesterday's No Kings Rally in D.C., the Trump administration posted men with weapons on the roof of an art gallery.

It increasingly appears that Trump is hoping to engineer a "Gulf of Tonkin" incident to justify an attack on Venezuela.

How worried is Trump about the Epstein files?

Worried enough that Speaker Johnson was sent out to float the preposterous notion that any appearance of Trump in the materials is the result of his being an FBI informer. (BTW, head of the FBI at the time was Mueller.)

Bad job numbers released, Trump fires the head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

More bad job numbers, Trump declares they are still the Biden numbers. (in the eighth month of Trump's Presidency.)

The unconfirmed story that Russian journalists were served chicken Kiev on the flight to the Alaska summit had its origin with the Editor in Chief of Russia Today. A bit of international trolling?

Trump desperately wants the Nobel Peace Prize. (I'm surprised he hasn't posted a fake one yet.)

Somehow I don't think starting a war and then stopping it is the best approach.

The White House insists that Trump was acting in his private capacity when he attended the dinner for Meme coin buyers -- WHICH MEANS HE HAS NO IMMUNITY FOR ANYTHING INVOLVING THIS GRIFT.

But China doesn't pay the tarrifs. What are they supposed to eat?
