They want to soften up us up for the moment when the world sees the proof of the Felon's pedo history.

seriously, why the fuck are we even having this conversation? why do we need to β€˜actually’ pedophilia? what is the point?

there isn’t one state in the union where adult sex with a 15-year-old is legal, β€˜barely’ or not. β€˜barely’ is not a thing in US case law. you can’t stand before a judge and go β€˜yeah, but she was barely.’

look, shall we just refer to Epstein as a kiddie-fiddler? shall we say that Donny Convict has a dead kiddie-fiddler bestie problem? would that make Megyn Kelly happy?

Kelly has a 14-year-old daughter. if god forbid she fell victim to some Jeffrey Epstein type, what would Megyn’s reaction be? β€˜at least she wasn’t 8’?

DING-DONG MEGYN KELLY, A LOSER WHO FAILED ON FOX, WANTS YOU TO KNOW THAT EPSTEIN TECHNICALLY WASN'T A "PEDOPHILE." SO FUCKING WHAT? NO ONE CARES WHAT YOU THINK, MEGYN. EPSTEIN'S VICTIMS WERE CHILDREN. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO MY EXTREMELY ANGRY POST. LINK IS HERE: bit.ly/47YAHGL

Trump administration will require SNAP participants to reapply for benefits The move is part of USDA chief Brooke Rollins’ effort to overhaul the nation’s largest anti-hunger program and get rid of β€œfraud.”

People! SNAP recipients are not our problem.
It seems this administration is angry that they're going to have to continue to provide food support to 42 million people living in poverty.

Juneteenth calls us to understand the realities of our past, celebrate the resilience and achievements of Black Americans, and align the course of our country toward its founding creed of liberty and justice for all. Wishing everyone a meaningful Juneteenth!

This is the first video in a series I'm really excited about on Medial Literacy and Understanding Common Fallacies.

I'm gearing this for High School students, but I think anyone can get something out of them.

Also, if you have kids, consider sharing it with them. youtube.com/shorts/h-3Sy...

Even Mr. Bobba, who had compiled the chart, told others at the agency that he was aware Mr.

On social media, Mr. Musk hailed the effort.
Karoline Leavitt, the White House press secretary, said on Fox News that DOGE suspected there were "tens of millions of deceased people who are receiving fraudulent Social Security payments." And Mr. Trump turned the notion of payments to dead people into a signature moment in his nationally televised address to Congress on March 4.
"3.5 million people from ages 140 to 149," Mr.
Trump said. "And money is being paid to many of them."

They are so addicted to the fraud narrative that they reflexively ignore debunking, even from their own people. When DOGE officials told Musk that no, lots of dead people were not receiving benefits, he ignored them. The lie made it into Trump’s state of the union.

This is a great illustration of fraudulent fraud claims: a grain of truth, massive exaggeration, which then justify policies that hurt all users

Dear Members of the Press.
P0TUS bragging that his tariffs are "already" bringing TRILLIONS of $$ into the US.

Beyond the fact that it's not true, will you please ask him, "If that's so, then there's no need to even discuss cutting social services, medicine, education, air safety, etc etc. Right?"

Jeffries: There are three big issues with the bill

1. It represents the largest cut to healthcare in American history.
2. It represents the largest cut to nutritional assistance in American history.
3. All of this is being done to enact the largest tax break for billionaires in American history.

🚨NEWS: The House is set to vote Monday on H.R. 867, the β€œIGO Anti-Boycott Act,” which would punish Americans with fines of up to $1 million or prison terms up to 20 years for participating in boycotts of Israel or Israeli settlements that are promoted by international governmental organizations (IGOs), such as the UN or EU.

The bill, sponsored by pro-Israel lawmaker Rep. Mike Lawler, expands U.S. anti-boycott law to target voluntary, values-based political action by U.S. citizens. Its aim is to shield Israel from nonviolent international pressure campaigns such as BDS.

Rights groups say the legislation criminalizes constitutionally protected political expression and is part of a broader push to suppress opposition to Israeli genocide, apartheid, and illegal settlement expansion, under the guise of fighting antisemitism.

I’m not sure I’ve ever seen something so simultaneously absurd and disturbing: the House will vote
Monday on a bill that would punish Americans for participating in boycotts of Israel with fines of up to $1 MILLION or prison terms up to TWENTY YEARS.

The country thats still defending is winning, the country that is breaking out tanks from WW2 in storage and attacking on donkeys and lost 900,000 men and got kicked out of Kyiv and begs NK for troops and Iran for weapons, isn’t.

TRUMPISM REJECTED IN AUSTRALIA

Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has been re-elected as his Labor Party surged to victory and is projected to form a majority government. In a historic first, opposition leader Peter Duttonβ€”often likened to Donald Trumpβ€”lost his own seat of Dickson.

Sorry, this is utterly unconvincing. The most important positive thing Bush did as president, Pepfar, has been eviscerated by Trump. He has moral authority as a former president esp as a Republican. The failure to speak up, gives more legitimacy to Trump and his depredations.
