๐ŸšจMAJOR BREAKING: DOJ Deputy Chief Joseph Schnitt was caught on a hidden camera saying the government will โ€œredact every Republicanโ€ from the Epstein files and leave only the Democrats.

He also revealed that Ghislaine Maxwell was transferred to a minimum security โ€œto keep her mouth shut.โ€

Trump actually IS the distraction. The shit happening behind the scenes is what is most terrifying.

White House Announces Comprehensive Review of Smithsonian Exhibitions

The Smithsonian Institution is, among other things, a collective of world-class museums that is globally revered as the very best. The pride of America for over a century, they are not something to be fucked with by a dim President (or the legion of his puppeteers) bent on whitewashing history.

Yes. Agreed. 100%. But this time, the โ€œdistractionโ€ is much more than Typical Trump Misdirection. US troops on the ground in LA represent a huge step into the fascist-state territory we fear. I cannot look at this distraction the same way.

Martial Law & Megalomaniacs: America Held Hostage Trump unleashes troops on L.A. protesters while Musk spirals into sabotage mode, proving once again that authoritarianism and privatized infrastructure donโ€™t mix.

#ElonMusk deleting tweets.
Bessent gets body-checked.
And Trumpโ€™s threatening extortion, again.

Todayโ€™s roundup: #authoritarian spectacle, privatized sabotage, economic paralysis, and a volcano that might be the most stable actor in America.

I agree these photos are disturbing. This entire concept, the process itself is insane.

Butโ€ฆ is there a plan to send these tanks back to the military bases they came from on June 15?

I get a weird Trojan Horse feeling about the entire thing.

Oh for sure! Congrats in particular to John Forslund for the well-deserved play-by-play accolades, and to Alison Lukas for being recognized for her outstanding storytelling and analysis.

So the US Supreme Court, which bestowed immunity on the office of the president now needs to find the president in contempt of the Supreme Court for defying their direct orders.

How is that gonna work out for them?

This is the kind of shit that is sliding silently under the nose of America while the BIG NOISE about tariffs gets all the attention.

The most corrupt administration in American history wants you to look the other way from this.

We can't. We need answers.

Inside the Explosive Meeting Where Trump Officials Clashed With Elon Musk Simmering anger at the billionaireโ€™s unchecked power spilled out in a remarkable Cabinet Room meeting. The president quickly moved to rein in Mr. Musk.

The inevitable cracks are forming. The Great Implosion canโ€™t be far offโ€ฆ.

Trump clearly learned nothing from the Covid pandemic. There is no way he and Musk can escape blame when the next global health crisis comes calling because of his recklessness.

White House Moves to Pick the Pool Reporters Who Cover Trump In announcing plans to handpick the reporters who can ask the president questions, the White House is breaking decades of precedent.

Americaโ€™s Free and Independent Press takes a direct hit.

๐ŸšจNEW: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is planning to fire Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff C.Q. Brown, a 4-Star General and 41-year veteran of the Air Force who flew over 130 hours in combat as a fighter pilot.

The Senate needs to stop voting. Obstruct the process. 30 Hour Holds, Filibusters and any legal means of shutting down the process must be used to cause the GOP pain.

Instead of voting, Democrat Senators must obstruct the process. Use any legal means available. 30 Hour Holds, Filibustersโ€ฆ get creative, Senators! Stop voting. Your 49 NO votes just enable the inevitable 51 GOP yes votes on every issue before the body. SHUT DOWN THE SENATE NOW!
