When a pedophile looks down on you...

Raskin: "The DOJ hasn't released any of these emails that mention Trump's name & identify his role in all these activities. Those came from the Epstein estate. So this is a demonstration the govt is deliberately withholding the info everybody is actually looking for & could be damaging to Trump"

Reposting news of a generous billionaire wanting to do good.

If Trump wags the dog in Venezuela it is going to do enormous damage to his already degraded brand here in the US. Zero support for this in the public. Will be seen for what it is - transparent attempt to rescue his flailing Presidency.

Just blatant corruption. They know these numbers are putrid and are making every excuse to cover them up just like they are doing with Epstein. bsky.app/profile/atru...

I don’t know how bad the economic numbers are going to end up this quarter. But I do know the party that controls the presidency, House and Senate is going to blame the party that doesn’t.

Raskin on Trump commuting Ghislaine Maxwell's sentence: "It seems overwhelmingly likely that that is in the process and that's all part of this very sweetheart deal she got to be switched out of a real prison in to a prison camp, and even there basically be treated like a guest at a Trump hotel."

DOJ’s #2 wants us to believe that they were so incompetent during Trump’s first term that Epstein’s estate “hid” his emails, even though DOJ seized his electronics and could have subpoenaed Google? I don’t buy it.

My expectation is that Todd Blanche is currently the subject of a multi pronged ethics investigation that is likely to lead to bar disciplinary action. He conduct here violates multiple provisions of the Code of Professional Responsibility, but it is likely not sufficient for disbarment.

I'm watching @crow.house.gov too.

After Republicans refused to extend ACA subsidies, 4 Michigan insurers are dropping out of the ACA marketplace altogether. That’s 200,000 Michiganders who just lost their plans.

At the same time the NY Times was hyping Hillary Clinton's emails, it had a reporter with emails from Jeffrey Epstein that were highly damaging to Trump.

The more NYT apologists try to minimize this the clearer it becomes that they don't understand why much of the public doesn't trust legacy media.

Feds deployed tear gas on the Far South Side even after cops told them they had no gas masks, sources say The agents deployed gas, smoke and other riot-control chemicals against residents and officers, including Chicago Police Department Deputy Chief Dan O’Connor, who had asked them not to use the gas, la...

Chicago's Far South Side devolved into chaos when residents confronted Border Patrol agents who rammed a car to make an arrest.

The feds ultimately used tear gas to flee, despite a Chicago police leader offering to clear a path and warning that cops didn't have gas masks.

"don't worry, he's just into 15-year-olds" perhaps not as exculpatory as you think
Also 15-year-olds are not "barely legal." They are minors.

“Riots Raging”: The Misleading Story Fox News Told About Portland Before Trump Sent Troops After reviewing coverage from the network and hours of social media videos that preceded Trump’s decision, ProPublica found that Fox’s portrayal of “Portland rioters” routinely instigating violence wa...

NEW: 2020 footage said to be in 2025. A neighbor who keeps reappearing in the same clip, said to be on different days & months. A broadcast from elsewhere suggested as Portland.

How Fox News misled its viewership -- which may have included the president.

There sure is a lot of missing evidence when it comes to DHS.

This dog ain’t gonna wag itself.

Like Trump's first attorney general nominee paid a 17-year-old for sex because she need money for braces. What are we doing here

Quite a read the day after the Epstein emails

Rubio and Miller need to answer for these crimes. It may not happen soon. But they will need to answer.

Trump official refers Rep. Eric Swalwell for a federal criminal probe over alleged mortgage fraud Swalwell is the latest Democrat to face mortgage fraud allegations from Federal Housing Finance Agency head Bill Pulte, who sent a letter to the Justice Department on Wednesday.

When criminals run the Justice Department, this is what it looks like.

That’s oddly specific. And completely hilarious.

says the network that has only mentioned Epstein 6 times all day today ...

“Sorry we went to the Supreme Court to block your food stamps. We were busy moving $500 million.” 🤡

NEW: The prosecutions of James Comey and Letitia James could be in jeopardy after a federal judge expressed significant doubt that President Trump's handpicked prosecutor was legitimately appointed.

You know us. For years, you watched and listened to our coverage of the Chicago area. As journalists, we did our best to bring you accurate, objective information about the people, events and issues that mattered. We hope we gained your trust. So please trust us now when we say that what is happening in the Chicago area is wrong. The fact that some federal immigration forces may be leaving soon is cold comfort given the damage they’ve done and what they may do in other cities. We are retired, but our colleagues who are still on the job have shown you a brutal and illegal campaign against fellow Chicagoans, mainly Latinos: violent abductions, gutting families, using tear gas around children, roughing up witnesses, ramming cars and even taking a day care teacher from her school.

"You know us...So please trust us now when we say that what is happening in the Chicago area is wrong."

Powerful letter from retired Chicago broadcast journalists about what ICE/CBP is doing to our city: "it is terror"

Joined The David Frum Show to discuss the end of the government shutdown and MAGA's repulsed young women problem.
