Trump lies: "I don't know anything about the Epstein files. I've been fully exonerated."

Senator calls for DEA to provide info on "incredibly disturbing" Epstein drug investigation Federal drug enforcement investigators targeted Jeffrey Epstein and 14 others in a yearslong probe first reported by CBS News.

This is a big one. A newly uncovered document has revealed the existence of a mystery Epstein investigation. It was spearheaded by the DEA and involved drug trafficking and money laundering. Epstein was one of 15 targets. The other 14 names are redacted. I've got questions.

I’d recommend you quit worrying about the admirals and generals and use your voice as a citizen.

In the #Kyiv neighborhood where 83-year-old Liudmyla Rechalina and her grandson Roman live, there has been no heating for several months. Their building, like more than a thousand others, remains without heat after Russian strikes on a thermal power plant.

Screenshot of an X post by Acyn noting reports that the U.S. military accidentally shot down a U.S. drone with a laser. The post quote-tweets an earlier clip of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth speaking at the White House with President Trump seated nearby. A Fox News chyron reads, “Hegseth speaks on Boeing fighter jet contract.”

Strongmen, like Trump, live in constant fear of being held accountable — which is why all of us should be concerned about what they might do to the upcoming midterms.

The best thing we can all do is pay attention, call them out for what they’re doing, & turn out in huge numbers in November.

Mamdani reassuring Iranians in NYC that he’ll be working to keep them safe… Schumer could never and would never

Donald Trump sent an aircraft carrier w/o working toilets to start a war of choice.

There's a metaphor there.

As a professional military strategist, I just wanted to make sure everyone has a full understanding of the American strategy in Iran, thank you for your attention to this matter

Trump might start a war with Iran. Can anyone stop him? Trump might start a war with Iran. Can anyone stop him? Congress, public opinion, and administration insiders aren’t reliable constraints on Trump’s foreign policy decisions.

Quick reactions after learning that no, nobody could stop him. 1/ goodauthority.org/news/trump-m... 1/

That’s a typo. It’s Epstein Fury.

JUSTICE GORSUCH: — we shouldn’t be concerned with — I want you to explain to me how you draw the line, because you say we shouldn’t be concerned because this is foreign affairs, the President has inherent authority, and so delegation off the books more or less. GENERAL SAUER: Or at least — JUSTICE GORSUCH: And if that’s true, what would — what would prohibit Congress from just abdicating all responsibility to regulate foreign commerce, for that matter, declare war to the President? [snip] JUSTICE GORSUCH: Can you give me a reason to accept it, though? That’s what I’m struggling and waiting for. What’s the reason to accept the notion that Congress can hand off the power to declare war to the President? GENERAL SAUER: Well, we don’t contend that. Again, that would be — JUSTICE GORSUCH: Well, you do. You say it’s unreviewable, that there’s no manageable standard, nothing to be done. And now you’re — I think you — tell me if I’m wrong. You’ve backed off that position. GENERAL SAUER: Maybe that’s fair to say. JUSTICE GORSUCH: Okay. All right. Thank you.

When Neil Gorsuch conceived of the impossibility of Congress abdicating one of its core roles in November, he raised the power to declare war. This was the oral argument for the tariffs that SCOTUS just declared illegal.

Lots of people seem to forget: It is Ramadan, which would affect the pattern of life of everyone in Iran.

❗️Russia has agreed to accept security guarantees for Ukraine from the US - Kyrylo Budanov.

He said:

At the previous negotiations, the Russian side has said directly that they will accept the security guarantees that are offered to Ukraine by the United States of America. And that's that.

Yeah, see the Budapest Memorandum. Of course Russia agrees with that part.

Ex-Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene R-GA blasts Trump over attack on Iran

Remember that they did this w/VZ as well.

I'm genuinely wondering if Trump believes he's more secure (from the Deep State) at MAL.

Or maybe he just views this, as he did the VZ thing, as a personal adventure from which to profit.
