Republicans are blocking the release of the Epstein files
they insist don’t exist, while also maintaining they contain nothing about Donald Trump, yet were somehow authored by Hillary Clinton.

Republicans are blocking the release of the Epstein files. I wonder why.

The Trump Administration Is About to Incinerate 500 Tons of Emergency Food Federal workers warned for months that the high-energy biscuits would go to waste.

"Five months into its unprecedented dismantling of foreign-aid programs, the Trump administration has given the order to incinerate food instead of sending it to people who need it"

Russia deliberately targeted rescuers in Kherson with a drone as they arrived to deal with a fire from a Russian strike.

Thankfully, the rescuers reacted quickly, were able to hide and were not hurt by the Russian drone.

Why Are Federal Agents Wearing Masks? It’s a Threat to American Democracy Masked Federal Agents Are Undermining Trust—and Democracy

If you need a mask to enforce the law, you don’t deserve a badge.
Federal agents are snatching people off the streets—faces covered, names hidden.
This isn’t safety. It’s secrecy.
It’s not America.

Anyone who supports this war with Iran is officially one of the baddies. You can tune them out and if they are an elected official, it's time to primary them. Enough of hateful war hawks who sow chaos to feed the military industrial complex and their bellies.

Biggest dumbass ever is in charge when we are the closest ever to deciding if we go to war on Iran, and this isn’t the first time that has been true in the past decade somehow

He's so good at this 😆

Weird how the “we’re broke” crowd goes quiet whenever war is on the table

But we have to throw 11 million off health care, cut food stamps, etc right?

If any Democratic president used a military audience as partisan prop, Republicans would melt down. The press would melt down. It was considered unthinkable until Trump showed R's and the media that oligarchic rule was within their reach.

REMINDER!

Kilmar Abrego Garcia is still imprisoned in El Salvador after the U.S. government illegally sent him there in March.

The Trump administration is still resisting facilitating his return, despite having been ordered to do so by judges at every level of the court system!

Very good job by Shaw with Hawley's usual sarcastic approach. (Familiar if you watch Judiciary hearings - reframe witness's position as crazy, goad them into disagreeing, then say hey check out this smart guy who can't defend the position.)

MAKE NOISE ON THIS ONE‼️

They didn’t just deport him—they sent him to CECOT in El Salvador.

Agelviz came here legally through the refugee resettlement program—fully vetted. But when he landed in Houston, CBP snatched him over a tattoo: a clock and a rose.

No charges. No record. Just a suspicion.

This seems like a big deal

Congrats to all Republicans and 16 Democrats for passing the Bribing The President Is Legal Now Act.

A cool side effect of this bill is it makes it considerably easier for your kid to buy fentanyl-laced narcotics from a new class of predators on Minecraft, also likely created by this bill.

Statement from the NJAG Matt Platkin

“The Boeing 747 is being given to the United States Air Force/Department of Defense, NOT TO ME! It is a gift from a Nation, Qatar, that we have successfully defended for many years. It will be used by our Government as a temporary Air Force One, until such time as our new Boeings, which are very late on delivery, arrive. Why should our military, and therefore our taxpayers, be forced to pay hundreds of millions of Dollars when they can get it for FREE from a country that wants to reward us for a job well done. This big savings will be spent, instead, to MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! Only a FOOL would not accept this gift on behalf of our Country. Thank you for your attention to this matter!”

he thinks American voters are really dumb

AOC: The math is not adding up. Their claim is that one million undocumented people are on Medicaid. So why are they trying to cut 13.7 million Americans off their healthcare?

Buttigieg: I’m not even an elected official or running for anything— I’m here. I can’t help but notice a lot of people who are elected officials aren’t. There’s a reason for that. They don’t want to have to explain this stuff

So many layers of corruption.

Let’s break this down—because the gaslighting is wild:

📌Oct 2022 – Biden signs EO to cut drug prices

📌Jan 2025 – Trump takes office and kills Biden’s EO to cut drug prices

📌May 2025 – Trump signs his own EO to lower drug prices

Trump canceled Biden’s plan then brought it back w/his name on it.

Welcome to Qatar Airways flight Air Force One. Now boarding: America First passengers.

Happy tariff capitulation day to all who celebrate.

You’d have to be truly hooked on cocaine, disinformation, or both to see a tissue lying on the table between Macron, Merz, and Starmer and instantly assume it’s a bag of cocaine.

Trump says US government plans to accept luxury jet following reports of multimillion-dollar gift from Qatar | CNN Politics President Donald Trump said Sunday night that the Defense Department plans to accept a Boeing 747-8 jet to replace Air Force One as a “GIFT, FREE OF CHARGE.”

Within the Secret Service, the potential gifting of a plane by a foreign government for presidential use is being viewed as a “security nightmare,” a law enforcement source said. “The (US Air Force) would have to tear it apart looking for surveillance equipment & inspect the integrity of the plane."

Remember when people thought Presidents making cash on book deals and speaking fees after they left office was vaguely corrupt?
