πŸ’₯ Trump named in Epstein Files β€” MULTIPLE TIMES :: WSJ

When DOJ officials reviewed what AG Pam Bondi called a β€œtruckload” of documents related to Jeffrey Epstein earlier this year, they discovered that Donald Trump’s name appeared multiple times, according to senior administration officials.

When I was little, the U.S. military came to our home at gunpoint and took me and my family away. We were imprisoned for years in barbed wire camps simply because we were Japanese American. I have spent my life telling that story, hoping it would never be repeated.

Last night a bunch of Republicans in the House were saying how awful this bill was.

Only took a couple hours, some merch, and a few words from Donald Trump, and they’re lining up to rip away health care from 17 MILLION people.

I’m sadly not surprised β€” but I am still outraged.

I'll start by stating that I am a fan of the Fever and these three players. That being said, I do find it pretty cringe that she is/they are (have CC or Lexie Hull said anything about the moniker?) leaning into being the three white players on a mostly Black team.

The Supreme Court just imposed a β€œDon’t Say Gay” regime on every public school in America - Vox

Actually, this goes way past β€œdon’t say gay.” It’s more like β€œdon’t say anything that someone might have religious objections to.”

Finally a corporation is reacting to what’s happening here. Don’t be surprised that it’s not a car company or a shampoo brand. They’re all still pretending that life is normal.

It’s a bookstore.

Barnes and Noble fills their store display windows with Orwell’s 1984 and Atwood’s Handmaid’s Tale.

This is absolutely insane.

Donald Trump suggests he will only provide aid to California if they pass a voter ID law.

Then he said he’ll put no conditions on North Carolina, a state that voted for him.

What a petty, evil man.

Even setting aside the drunkenness and rape allegations, I fail to see what exactly qualifies him to serve as SecDef. How is he competent for this role? What in his experience has prepared him for this?

Part of me wants to thank him for doing the right thing, however late it was...but then another part thinks that would be like thanking Trump for saving TikTok.

We’re suing President Trump.

The 14th Amendment is clear: People born in the United States are citizens. An executive order cannot override the Constitution.
