If Melinda French Gates and MacKenzie Scott wanted to stick it to their exes for Epstein and fascism they’d endow a new newspaper and NPR with a few billion dollars as a perpetually independent news agency.

Can comfirm from MN, as can anyone who lives here, that not a THING has changed except little Bovino isnt peacocking around the streets anymore. And there hasn’t been a third high-profile murder of a white person yet.

But the gestapo attacks haven’t stopped. At all! bsky.app/profile/jyse...

Trump announces 2-year closure of Kennedy Center after multiple cancellations by artists The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, recently renamed the Trump Kennedy Center, will likely close its doors for two years starting this summer. President Trump made the announcement on ...

"The Kennedy Center has been a living memorial for 55 years to President Kennedy, to the arts, and it's been nonpartisan. And in just one short year, (Trump) has destroyed all of that," said former Kennedy Center board member Barbara Comstock. https://to.pbs.org/45ObjTQ

Again, this is FALSE. Administrative warrants are NOT signed by an immigration judge (or any judge at all). They are generated and signed by ICE officers themselves with no external oversight whatsoever.

Here is a blank sample warrant. Note who signs off on it; an "immigration officer."

Trump’s MOTIVES REVEALED as EPSTEIN Files Drop SHOCKING NAMES
YouTube video by Katie Phang Trump’s MOTIVES REVEALED as EPSTEIN Files Drop SHOCKING NAMES

Among the millions of Epstein documents released Friday by the DOJ, several involve Brad Karp, the chairman of the mega law firm Paul Weiss, which was the very first firm to bend the knee to Felon Trump. I analyze the documents & the relationship between Epstein and Karp.

There was never even a *second* of ceasefire. It was all a political hoax to get good press for Trump for 24 hoursβ€”and to continue to artificially extend Netanyahu's reign.

The idea that Trump daily accounts it as among the wars he’s "ended" is...well, there are no words for that sort of depravity.

Conservatives have been angry at a series of judicial rulings, including one that safeguarded direct democracy in 2024 & one that struck down their gerrymander. 1st step of their retaliation.
