Here’s how it’s about to go down: Ghislaine names a bunch of Democrats, maybe tosses in a few billionaires. She says Trump did nothing wrong. MAGA praises her for “taking down the pedophiles.” Trump pardons her… for “telling the truth.”

I think @keithedwards.bsky.social nails it here, with the next step being Republicans like MTG and Burchett rallying around Trump for "exposing the Democrats."

Donny’s sent Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche to ‘interview’ Ghislaine Maxwell, who is currently serving twenty years in prison for trafficking teenage girls for Jeffrey Epstein. wait, did I say Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche? I should have said Donny’s personal attorney Todd Blanche — because that’s what Todd was before Donny appointed him to the DOJ. how convenient, to have one’s own personal attorney running interference as the second-in-command at the DOJ. so Blanche is talking to Maxwell. here’s the adminstration’s official bullshit cover story, as dutifully stenographed by the worthless scribblers of The New York Times. The interview with Ms. Maxwell, who is serving a 20-year sentence for sex trafficking, is part of the department’s effort to quell criticism that it is concealing details of Mr. Epstein’s crimes and interactions with high-profile figures, including President Trump. oh, I see — they’re ‘quelling criticism.’ how in the holy name of fuck does that work? does anyone believe that justice is what this is about? if you do, I have five bankrupt casinos in Atlantic City to sell you. we all goddamn well know that Blanche is down there offering Ghislaine a deal. it’s probably something like ‘exonerate Donny. tell everyone he did nothing wrong, and Donny will pardon you on the spot.’ you’d be naive to think otherwise. because that’s how the most corrupt administration in the history of corruption rolls. it’s a fucking cover-up, is what it is. let’s go to Akaash Singh one more time: ‘they’re hiding something CRAZY.’ you bet your ass they are.

from today’s post, on the continuing cover-up of Donny's involvement in whatever Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell were up to —

No One Sure Why Kristi Noem Wearing Firefighter Helmet, Night-Vision Goggles, High Heels, Wet Suit WASHINGTON—Racking their brains as they tried to determine the express purpose of the homeland security secretary’s outfit, sources confirmed Monday they were not sure why Kristi Noem was wearing a firefighter helmet, night-vision goggles, high heels, and a wet suit. “Huh, that’s odd, but there must be some kind of reason for it, right?” said […]

“Huh, that’s odd, but there must be some kind of reason for it, right?” said one of the sources, who frowned as they took in the sight of the overdressed DHS chief adjusting the quiver of arrows she wore over her back. theonion.com/no-one-...

BREAKING EXCLUSIVE: Sen. Elizabeth Warren just exposed a crypto scam where Trump and his family stand to make more than $60,000,000 from a $2 billion Saudi-Binance deal, where the purchase will use Trump’s coin.

This MUST be exposed.

So good!

This is unbelievable. DOD is engaged in illegal removals to evade judicial orders. We are reaching new lows every day

🚨🚨🚨MAJOR BREAKING: Susan Collins gets a major challenge for her U.S. senate seat in Maine and she’s VERY concerned!

Psst…people have noticed…pass it on.

New CNBC poll: Confidence in Trump's handling of the U.S. economy plummets….only 37% of Americans support Trump’s handling of the economy.

“‘Pretty soon, within the next couple of weeks, everything regarding IT and cyber at the department will start to operationally reach a point of no return,’ one source, who was part of a team that managed these systems at HHS for a decade before being part of the RIF, alleges to WIRED.”

Any politician or pundit telling us to stop advocating for due process for the men in CECOT because it's not "politically expedient" needs to go,

Our newest American hero. This man knows that Trump will come after him but did the right thing.

What did Elon and DOGE do in that system that produced this spike??

This country is becoming unrecognizable. What we’re seeing is state-funded fear. We’ve warned people: keep filming, go live on social media so these moments are documented and shared. This wasn’t a case involving masked ICE agents—but that’s happening too.

A whistleblower's disclosure details how DOGE may have taken sensitive labor data A whistleblower tells Congress and NPR that DOGE may have taken sensitive labor data and hid its tracks. "None of that ... information should ever leave the agency," said a former NLRB official.

Oh dear you’re going to want to read this. Looks like DOGErs were caught exfiltrating NLRB data, likely on unions, for private (seemingly Elony) use. This is must read. What we’ve all suspected. But now details. www.npr.org/2025/04/15/n...

Palantir Is Helping DOGE With a Massive IRS Data Project For the past three days, DOGE and a handful of Palantir representatives, along with dozens of career IRS engineers, have been collaborating to build a “mega API,” WIRED has learned.

Whitehouse: "Remember Trump-Russia? The Mueller report said there was Trump-Russia. The bipartisan Senate intelligence report said there was Trump-Russia. Repeated trials brought in evidence showing Trump-Russia. There was, is, and forever shall be Trump-Russia."

Fascism came to America today. 👇🏻

Trump just withdrew the United States from the World Health Organization.

The US is now the only country in the world besides Liechtenstein to not be a member of the organization.
