I'm waiting for able-bodied 19 year old patriot Barron Trump to announce his enlistment in the United States military. So far, I haven't heard anything.

The president of the United States killed children to distract from raping children.

Iran did not pose an immediate threat to the United States. Trump has admitted this is a regime change war. He did this without congressional authorization. This is an unconstitutional action. Worse, he clearly has no plan for what comes next. It’s a Mad King war.

Maybe they don’t want the first thing written about them by future historians is they covered up for a cabal of evil child rapists.

Sorry but the craziest and worst regime in the world is North Korea and they have nuclear weapons and Donald Trump wrote what he described as love letters to its dictator.

Americans Are Leaving the U.S. in Record Numbers More citizens are replanting overseas, drawn by a quality of life made easily affordable by the U.S.’s enviable salaries.

This is such a well done piece that reports out, with hard data and interviews, something profound about what's gone wrong in this country.

Netflix Backs Out of Bid for Warner Bros., Paving Way for an Ellison Takeover

The richest man owns X.

The second and third richest men control Google.

The fourth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

The fifth richest man owns The Washington Post.

And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros.

See the problem here?

The three people most mentioned in the Epstein files are Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell and Donald Trump.

One of them died in prison, one of them is in prison now, and one of them is president.

But sure, let’s depose Hillary Clinton.

My brothers colleagues, public school teachers in PA, met Vance in 2024. And to a person, they came away hating his guts. Not a β€œmeh” response, a visceral loathing.

Here’s my takeaway from the State of the Union:

NPR reports that the DOJ has β€œwithheld” documents that include allegations that Donald β€œsexually abused a minor.”

Trump’s cruel attack on transgender teens last night was yet another assault on a minority that faces violence and discrimination. It’s become normalized by a media that didn’t even notice it in today’ coverage, but this is the president attacking children and families.

Let me be VERY clear.

If the DOJ is withholding Epstein files from 2019 that include allegations that Donald Trump sexually abused a minor, the public has a right to see them. End the cover up NOW.

New details from Epstein files reveal Lutnick had years-long business tie with sex offender The commerce secretary apparently still hasn't come clean on his connection with Epstein.

A MOTHER JONES SCOOP! New details from Epstein files reveal Lutnick had a years-long business tie with the sex offender. This challenges his claim he had minimal contact with Epstein. The two were involved in a deal for six years, and an email shows they discussed it. @nlanard.bsky.social
