It drives Jonathan Turley crazy when I remind everyone that he is just Mike Lindell with tenure. So, please make sure not to amplify this message.👇

Jonathan Turley is just Mike Lindell with tenure.

Beloved actor Martin Short is walking around a free man but they sent Ghislaine Maxwell to prison for 20 years. What gives????

They’re debating releasing the transcripts of Ghislaine Maxwell‘s interview with the Justice Department?

As if those transcripts will be truthful and trustworthy. 🙄
Paaaalease.

Do they think we were born yesterday?

Those transcripts will be as legit as the next jobs report.

CBO: Republican megabill to cost $4.1T, due to higher borrowing costs The measure is also expected to add trillions to the federal deficit.

Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill works directly against his dream of rock-bottom interest rates. The CBO just estimated that it’ll raise interest rates and therefore, borrowing costs by $718 billion over the next decade.

I never get tired of reminding people that famous celebrity Donald Trump's very first appearance in the New York Times was when the Nixon Justice Department sued him and his father for refusing to rent to black families.

reflecting this morning on the fact that Trump's campaign message last year was quite literally "migrants are taking Black jobs" -- and he won!

We've reached the point where Fed candidates have to be asked whether the August jobs report came out before November in 2024.

Republican Rep. Mike Flood’s town hall was a dumpster fire: for him.

“There’s been a lot of misinformation out there about the bill,” Flood said.

Yes, there has. From you and Republicans trying to hoodwink us. The crowd yelled, “Vote him out!” as the hour-and-a-half meeting ended.

If Joe Biden had told a cable show that non-whites were made for farm labor and insisted his approval rating was in the 70s and then climbed onto the roof of the fucking White House …

How Kash Patel Was Duped Trump’s lickspittle FBI director fell for obviously fake Russian documents. So much for Wizard Kashs’s “smoking gun.”

ICYMI @cathyyoung63.bsky.social on how the FBI director fell for crude, obvious Russian propaganda:

If DHS cares about keeping children safe from predators, they should be going full throttle after Ghislaine Maxwell, Trump, releasing the Epstein files, and investigating everyone covering for Trump.

But all they care about is creating propaganda to support their racist narrative.

Ali Velshi: The ‘MAGA machine is glitching’ as Trump lashes out at base over Epstein probe “Even his most loyal supporters are seeing Trump for what he has always been,” Velshi said. “Just another rich guy in power now, protecting himself.”

Well, I’m gonna insist that you listen to this.

Definition of terms:

“these people” = Latino migrants

“Inner city people” = Black people

“We tried to get them [inner city people] to do it” = slavery & sharecropping

Trump: "I have the best poll numbers I've ever had."

Host: “polls have you down in the 30s”

Trump: "They're fake polls. I had a lot of fake polls”

Hearing Trump speak is often like hearing the voices of enslavers echoing down the centuries.

House committee subpoenas the Clintons and several top former DOJ officials for testimony on Jeffrey Epstein House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., also issued a subpoena to the Justice Department for records related to the deceased sex offender.

BREAKING: GOP-led House committee subpoenas the Clintons and several top former DOJ officials for testimony on Jeffrey Epstein.

The committee also issues a subpoena to the DOJ for records related to Epstein.

This is complete fantasy. Just an absurd made up lie. The EU is not giving Trump “$600 billion to invest anyway I want.” They aren’t giving him 1 dollar to invest. It is just astonishing that a president can go on a financial network and lie like this & it barely registers. bsky.app/profile/atru...

Voters in Lincoln Nebraska want to know How Much Fascism Costs

popular anti-fascism as taxpayer revolt...might have some legs

Question for Mike Flood: With $450 million being allocated to Alligator Alcatraz, and ICE burning through $8.4 million a day to illegally detain people—How much does it cost for fascism? How much do the tax payers have to pay for a fascist country?

Honorable Edward R. Martin Jr. Pardon Attorney Office of the Pardon Attorney U.S. Department of Justice 950 Pennsylvania Avenue NW Washington, D.C. 20530 Dear Pardon Attorney Martin, I am writing to request that your office urge the President to commute the sentence of former Congressman George Santos. In April 2025, Mr. Santos was sentenced to 87 months in federal prison for wire fraud and aggravated identity theft charges. I wholeheartedly believe in justice and the rule of the law, and I understand the gravity of such actions. However, I believe a seven-year sentence for such campaign-related matters for an individual with no prior criminal record extends far beyond what is warranted. As a Member of Congress, I worked with Mr. Santos on many issues and can attest to his willingness and dedication to serve the people of New York who elected him to office. He committed himself to serving his constituents and did whatever it took to represent their interests in Washington, D.C. He is sincerely remorseful and has accepted full responsibility for his actions. Furthermore, my office has spoken with a pastor of his who discussed the regret and remorse of Mr. Santos, agreeing that the sentence imposed is a grave injustice. While his crimes warrant punishment, many of my colleagues who I serve with have committed far worse offenses than Mr. Santos yet have faced zero criminal charges. I strongly believe in accountability for one's actions, but I believe the sentencing of Mr. Santos is an abusive overreach by the judicial system. Commuting his sentence would acknowledge the severity of his actions and simultaneously provide a path forward in allowing him to make amends for his crimes and strive to better serve the people in his community. I respectfully request you to urge the President to commute the sentence of Mr. George Santos. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Marjorie Taylor Greene has submitted a request to the US Pardon Attorney to have the seven year prison sentence of former Congressman George Santos commuted.

Watters: Do you think it’s smart for all headlines to say Democrats ran away from the job?

Nellis: Do you think it's good for the headlines to say Republicans are so worried about losing the mid-terms that they decided to rig the maps?

BREAKING:

Two Epstein victims write letters slamming the Trump DOJ and FBI for its handling of the Epstein case.

"I am not some pawn in your political warfare. ... Why not be completely transparent? Show us all the files with only the necessary redactions! Be done with it and allow me/us to heal."
