Meanwhile Trump wants to remove Jerome Powell from the Fed, blaming cost overruns on building renos. But there's always spare cash for every Trump vanity project.

Dishonor And Depravity: Maxwell The Molester's Impending Pardon When Donald Trump pardoned the Jan. 6 gangsters upon returning to the White House, he proved that he is capable of any depraved act to protect himself.

What does #Trump want from #GhislaineMaxwell? His minions are corrupting the Bureau of Prisons to influence her -- and protect him. My latest for Creators. www.nationalmemo.com/ghislaine-ma...

McMorrow: Everything is “in two weeks.” “I’ll make a decision in two weeks.” You can’t run a business based on the feelings of an old man Truth Social-ing what he’s going to do tomorrow or the next day. That’s not how business works.

Hideous and vulgar. Does it remind you of anyone?

That’s a fun chapter — an expansion of themes we touched in “The Hunting of the President”

It is too bad. Thanks for the kind words!

Thanks! I’ve thought about doing that because the lies are even bigger now…

BREAKING: New documents and testimony make it clear that Emil Bove urged DOJ officials to defy court orders – then misled the Judiciary Committee about it.

The facts are disqualifying. And the timeline is damning.

Let's break it down. 🧵

Much more evidence since then. Thanks!

Unfair for people to think when Hegseth can’t do it

That would be redundant

At this point he should just tell his supporters that he thinks they’re all braindead.

Phillip: He denied being briefed on the files, which he was.

He denied knowing Prince Andrew, despite pictures of them together, including at mar-a-lago.

And he denied being on Epstein's plane when he had many times.

“Bombshell report: The IDF admitted it destroyed and buried the contents of 1,000(!) aid trucks—because the supplies expired while Israel delayed and mishandled distribution.

In case anyone telling you it's the UN's fault.”

His Former Company Got Caught Employing Undocumented Workers. Now He’s Profiting Off an Immigrant Detention Camp. Disaster Management Group is one contractor behind the nation’s largest detention camp, to be built at Fort Bliss. It’s run by Nathan Albers, who previously co-owned a company that pleaded guilty to a...

NEW: Nathan Albers once co-owned a company that schemed to hire and conceal undocumented workers.

Now his company could make hundreds of millions from work on the nation's largest detention camp.

“The irony is thick,” said a former DHS official.

POLITICO compiled a list of all the Washington Post staffers who have left in the past eight months. It’s at least a hundred names, many of them among the biggest names in journalism. This is the fastest erosion of a major outlet ever.

@robertgarcia.bsky.social: "We weren't born yesterday. We are going to get those [Epstein] documents and make sure that what [Maxwell] tells us is aligned with what's actually been documented in these files and all these papers."

The Department of Justice is pretending it needed to talk to notorious liar Ghislaine Maxwell to know the truth about Jeffrey Epstein, when it is concealing thousands of documents about him that don’t lie. It’s a sick farce.

See Matthew 21

Because it’s very “Christian” when moneylenders swindle the poor. Isn’t there something about that in Scripture?

Russ Vought bills CFPB $5M for his security detail The expense comes as CFPB's budget is slashed nearly in half.

Vought is the king of petty bullshit. Here he is looting the corpse of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to pay for his personal security detail

Wow. @repsummerlee.bsky.social reveals that Nancy Mace tried to amend the Epstein file release motion to add the word "credible" to it (only compelling the release of "credible" files).

"But we're like, 'Well, legally, who decides what is credible? Whose standards are we going to implement here?'"

This person makes my head hurt

Serendipitous. Let me know what you think.

You mad Don?

Absolutely surreal to watch White House reporters ask Leavitt questions about tariffs moments after she and Gabbard used this briefing to baselessly accuse Obama of crimes punishable by death. We’re a sick joke of a country.

Measles-Ridden Hooker Endangers Children This anti-vax charlatan thinks it is "so cool" to drop measles on children like the Johnny Appleseed of morbilliviruses. And they say virologists are reckless.

I wrote about how Brian Hooker thinks getting infected with a virus that permanently disables or kills kids & exposing others to it without their knowledge or consent is superior to preventing infection altogether with a safe & effective vaccine.
