Donald Trump Belongs to The Epstein Class And the Trump Regime serves them and their interests

New from me: Most of the world wants to hold the Epstein Class accountable for their crimes. Here in America, the Trump Regime still serves them and their interests. open.substack.com/pub/ctrlaltr...

Donald Trump Belongs to The Epstein Class And the Trump Regime serves them and their interests

"If you’re wealthy and powerful, Donald Trump believes that you should be able to act with impunity – so long as you’re willing to pay him the right price."

@melissaryan.bsky.social nails it as always.

Hell is open and the demons are all idiots

This is right. Republicans are like toddlers. They keep pushing the boundaries to see what they can get away with. Every time Democrats are like "look forward, not backward," the toddlers learn that next time they can get away with even more.

what a crazy night for sam altman to be like "yeah we got that dept of war deal, and there's no moral concerns here"

"He's turned America into a nation of thieves and thugs." A family member said this to me on the phone this morning, and yeah, that's the long and short of it. I'd just add 'murderous' before 'thieves and thugs.'

The entire Democratic strategy debate — "moderate" or move left? fight or compromise? — is based on a misreading of data. Voters don't think Dems are too progressive; they think Dems are weak. The actual math on what to do about this isn't even close!

Take The Ice

If you want to learn more about women's hockey in the US, I highly recommend Take the Ice, a documentary film about the formation of the National Women's Hockey League, directed and produced by my good friend Rachel Koteen. www.taketheicemovie.com

How America Chose Not to Hold the Powerful to Account Our national project of elite impunity

After the arrests of powerful men across the world, you might be asking why the US has so much trouble holding its leaders accountable for lawbreaking. Since Nixon, all three branches of government have worked hard to ensure they can break the law with impunity www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

Jonathan Majors Makes Movie Comeback In Daily Wire Action Pic Filming This Week In South Carolina Filming begins this week on the action movie which stars Creed III and Ant-Man star Majors, who hasn't made a film in four years.

That photo is incredible!

DOJ to Review Whether Epstein Files About Trump Were Improperly Withheld The Justice Department didn’t release notes from several interviews a woman gave to FBI agents in 2019.

NEW: WSJ now confirming my reporting that the DOJ is withholding at least three FBI interviews with a woman who told the FBI that Trump sexually assaulted her when she was a child

They Met in an E.R. and Were Married at the Super Bowl

The state of Minnesota should pause payments to the federal government of federal taxes withheld from state employees—and so should other states in solidarity.

The Maxwell evidence log notes three additional 302 documents dated in August and October 2019 related to the same victim, as well as three other sets of “interview notes.” None of those appear to be present in the files released by the DOJ, although there are copies of several photos she provided to the FBI as well as records of correspondence with her attorney.

Almost every media outlet this side of Fox has reported @sollenbergerrc.bsky.social's discovery of missing Trump allegation 302s, but most are missing significance. Roger proved they existed by pointing to a discovery inventory Maxwell got. SHE KNOWS what they say.

Was literally just suggesting Letterkenny to a young person today. One of the best things to ever air on TV. Shoresey is pretty good too.

Just in case you were wondering why the locals in Minnesota treat the Trump Regime's ICE as an occupying force...

This is both an act of war *and* a war crime, as it is similar to cutting off water or destroying power plants. It's designed to kill civilians.

So true!

What kills me about the hockey teams is that the women were likely advised that associating with Trump would cost them endorsement deals, the men were likely advised that it would help them with endorsement deals. And both of those pieces of advice are correct in the short term.

In a historic year for women at the Olympics, Trump specifically awarded male athletes with the presidential medal of freedom at the SOTU. They never cared about women’s sports. They never cared about women, period.
