Not giving up our democracy to some rich felons who want to sell it off for parts. United we stand, divided we fall. Get loud and find good trouble.

Epstein spent Christmas 2016 with Trump at Mar-a-Lago.

Another email from Epstein, which was in the estate files, shows that Epstein spent Thanksgiving 2017 with all the "Trump boys" at Mar-a-Lago as well.

Who spends their holidays with a convicted child rapist?

Only another child rapist.

GALLEGO: You have no independence to make a decision whether the president deserves $10 billion?

BESSENT: Again, that is a DOJ matter

G: So the DOJ will entirely make that decision? You have no say?

B: Correct

G: So would you just have to write the check if you were told to write it?

B: Correct

Jeff Bezos’s wealth has increased an average of $70 million every day of 2026, meaning that he could have offset The Post’s losses with what he’s made since Monday.

Wow: This appears to be a draft statement written by Ghislaine Maxwell in which she addresses allegations made against her and Prince Andrew by Virginia Giuffre. Maxwell appears to confirm that the photo is real and admits that Epstein committed crimesβ€”contradicting her sworn testimony.

Cato Institute just nuked the lie. Immigrants have cut U.S. deficits by $14.5 TRILLION since 1994, slashing the national debt by a third.

All that β€œimmigrants are bleeding us dry” noise? Absolute bullshit.

A publisher who lays off a reporter whose pen is freezing because she's covering a frigid war zone while dodging missiles is not an editor you want to work for, in a more perfect world
