Our troops are dying this isn’t a video game. The White House is posting so-called β€œhype” videos that mix real footage from the war in Iran with clips from movies and video games like Call of Duty. It’s an absolute disgrace.

DOJ releases Epstein files with accusations against Trump Over the course of four interviews in 2019, a woman told the FBI that Epstein and Trump sexually abused her in the 1980s.

The woman who told FBI agents that Trump sexually assaulted her when she was as young as 13 recalled that she and her mother received death threats afterward, with callers saying β€œwe know where you’re at, you need to keep your mouth shut."

Today in Trump foreign policy:

Fox: Can you comment on Russians helping Iran target our troops?

Trump: That’s a stupid question. I’m only talking about college football before I fly to Palm Beach for a weekend of golf.

Bessent: We are now lifting sanctions on Russian oil.

Text reads β€œGuards at Alligator Alcatraz are wearing these Neo-Nazi patches” and shows an image of the grim reaper riding on an alligator skeleton. Below the skeleton are two human skulls, similar to the Totenkopf or death's head that the Nazis who ran and guarded German WWII concentration camps had on their SS uniforms. The death's head imagery is still used by Neo-Nazis and white supremacists. The guard we spoke to said a number of the guards wore the patches on their uniforms while on duty.

According to a former Alligator Alcatraz guard, multiple guards wear this patch while on duty inside.

The former guard gave the patch to an elderly protester, who was wearing the uniform of a Nazi concentration camp prisoner outside of Alligator Alcatraz, where he had just been fired from his job.
