Gosh, I wonder what Marjorie Taylor Greene did to piss off Trump? Could it possibly have something to do with her call to release the Epstein files?

As a German & American, I wish our citizens were half as mobilized about our own corruption scandals as Ukrainians are about theirs. Look at Schröder, Schwesig, MAGA grift… We must demand consequences too. Stop fighting corruption & democracy doesn’t just decline. It gets taken.

Every single media lawyer I have spoken with this weeks agree that the BBC is doing exactly the right thing in admitting a mistake without admitting liability.

"What is certain, and felt instinctively by almost everybody, is that things cannot go on in their present way" – The Times, May 1975

“It is difficult to imagine a previous period when such an all-pervasive hopelessness was exhibited at all levels of British life” – Professor Stephen Haseler, 1975

UK set to limit refugees to temporary stays Shabana Mahmood is expected to say the era of permanent protection for refugees is over, in major changes to the UK's asylum and immigration system.

This is as bad as anything proposed by Reform.

Leaving refugees in permanent limbo and unable to build a new life in the UK would be a complete abdication of our humanitarian responsibilities

Large far-right German delegation to visit Washington, Trump ally says The invitation to the capital comes as Alternative for Germany politicians seek to build closer ties to the U.S. government.

"The restrictions were intended to prevent a repeat of the Nazi rise to power, when anti-democratic forces were able to subvert democracy from within..."

See how Donald Trump is creating his own police force Immigration agents are operating in cities with few legal constraints

"what began as a way to increase the pace of deportations has come to look like a national police force, answerable to the president, that is at least as focused on bullying the residents of Democrat-run cities as it is on deporting undocumented migrants" www.economist.com/interactive/...

Zeteo Scoured 26,000 Epstein Docs. Here’s What We Found You can search and review the emails here. Read what Epstein said about Trump, and his emails with Peter Thiel, Steve Bannon, Ehud Barak, and Larry Summers.

Zeteo has made a searchable database of all new 26,000 files related to Jeffrey Epstein.

Despite Trump saying this is a scam with "all arrows pointing to the Democrats," these have a whole lot of Trump in there. In fact, he's mentioned in these more than anyone else.

Take a look for yourself:

NEW: Survivors of Jeffrey Epstein's abuse, along with the family of Virginia Giuffre, have written to Congress — demanding members vote to release the Epstein files.

"There is no middle ground here. There is no hiding behind party affiliation."

The BBC is right not to pay damages to Trump By apologising, the broadcaster has taken the sting out of Trump's excessive attack

Ex-BBC boss leads calls for end to political appointments to board Tony Hall urges government to bolster BBC’s independence as MPs and union seek Robbie Gibb’s removal from board

It only took 7 months, but my “why tariff banana?” crusade has FINALLY been vindicated: the White House has exempted bananas (and a bunch of other tropical fruits) from the tariffs today

Now if they could just realize this whole trade war is stupid and counterproductive…

Epstein files reveal his obsession with Trump The president is mentioned over a thousand times in sex trafficker’s emails

NEW: President Trump mentioned over 1,000 times in Epstein files, more than anyone else. (gift) www.miamiherald.com/article31290...

Instead of just releasing the Epstein files, Trump ordered the DOJ to investigate Democrats and AG Pam Bondi is complying.

Are they setting up a pretext to block the release by arguing the files are now part of an active investigation? I’m not saying that would work, but he’s desperate to block.

From this minister's op-ed: "People wanting to experience God are more likely to meet the Divine trying to shut down the Broadview, Illinois, ICE facility than we ever were in church...God does not live in our houses of worship, but...with those who are bearing the brunt of cruelty in this moment."

Though not universally true, in the vast majority of cases, causing offense in those listening in good faith isn't the inevitable cost of being a brave truthteller but the casual cruelty of a lazy or unempathic communicator.

There were ways to say the same thing without being an asshole, mate.

If Trump still sues the BBC, notwithstanding their apology, he is in a far less strong position than if the BBC had not apologised.

The apology was tactically a sensible, prudent move by the BBC whether Trump sues or not.

We created a searchable database with all 20,000 files from Epstein’s Estate Easily find every mention of Trump, Clinton, blackmail, and potential sex crimes in the thousands of private messages between Epstein and his close associates.

This is cool. COURIER has created a searchable database with all 20,000 of the files just released from Epstein’s estate.

Trump's name appears in them more than anyone else, in 1,628 documents.

D.C. Circuit won't review Trump admin contempt appeal further, sending matter back to Boasberg The latest order over the Trump administration's actions sending flights to El Salvador on March 15.

The judge who oversaw the initial challenge to Trump’s attempt to use the Alien Enemies Act to quickly remove people from the country will soon have the authority to continue any contempt proceedings over whether the admin violated his first orders in the case on March 15.

Whatever Trump is desperately covering up about Epstein, it’s clearly so bad that he thinks it could destroy him

“Weaponizing the DOJ” takes on a whole new level when you order investigations in order to reopen it so it’s no longer closed and you can claim you can’t release information because it’s an “ongoing investigation”

Marjorie Taylor Greene says Trump is lying about her interactions with him — and posted their text exchanges today about the Epstein files.

A sitting member of Congress just posted her messages with the president of the United States.

I am withdrawing my support and Endorsement of “Congresswoman” Marjorie Taylor Greene, of the Great State of Georgia. Over the past few weeks, despite my creating Record Achievements for our Country including, a Total and Complete Victory on the Shutdown, Closed Borders, Low Taxes, No Men in Women’s Sports or Transgender for Everyone, ending DEI, stopping Biden’s Record Setting Inflation, Biggest Regulation Cuts in History, stopping EIGHT WARS, rebuilding our Military, being RESPECTED by every Country in the World (as opposed to being the laughingstock that we were just 12 months ago!), having Trillions of Dollars (Record Setting!) INVESTED in the U.S.A., and having created the “HOTTEST” Country anywhere in the World from being a DEAD Country just 12 months ago (and so much more!), all I see “Wacky” Marjorie do is COMPLAIN, COMPLAIN, COMPLAIN! It seemed to all begin when I sent her a Poll stating that she should not run for Senator, or Governor, she was at 12%, and didn’t have a chance (unless, of course, she had my Endorsement — which she wasn’t about to get!). She has told many people that she is upset that I don’t return her phone calls anymore, but with 219 Congressmen/women, 53 U.S. Senators, 24 Cabinet Members, almost 200 Countries, and an otherwise normal life to lead, I can’t take a ranting Lunatic’s call every day. I understand that wonderful, Conservative people are thinking about primarying Marjorie in her District of Georgia, that they too are fed up with her and her antics and, if the right person runs, they will have my Complete and Unyielding Support. She has gone Far Left, even doing The View, with their Low IQ Republican hating Anchors. Thank you for your attention to this matter. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

Trump un-endorses Marjorie Taylor Greene
