Very telling that Hillary is being held accountable for Bill's connection to the files but Melania gets to stay mute on her husband's clear complicity. Something about an Epstein visa?

NEW: The FBI interview implicating Trump for raping and assaulting a 14 year old took place one day before Epstein was found dead in his jail cell, and emails about the credible accusation came around the time Blanche visited Ghislaine Maxwell in pirson. substack.com/home/post/p-...

When we stand up for our neighbors we are really standing up for all of us. Some thoughts on one of the big lessons from the siege of Minnesota........👇 www.hopiumchronicles.com/p/standing-u...

The ICE surge in Minnesota cost $280M of our tax money, to detain 4k people of whom only 30 were accused of violent crimes, plus another 530 with minor traffic violations. $9 million per capture of the "worst of the worst". Plus two civilian deaths. Trump is REALLY BAD at this.

This is precisely what polling places were like for part of the 19th century. People often traveled long distances by horse to vote. It was a big deal when folks got together this way.

That’s a lot of people. Virginia and another victim are missing here: uinterview.com/news/22-peop...

A thread, with lots of data, about how Trump-Vance-Miller have not only lost the big argument about ICE they've also lost it about mass deportation. The country wants DHS to deport criminals and leave the rest of us alone 👇

There's a certain amount of money (pick a number) beyond which there's nothing else you can buy that you'd want. Except for power over the rest of us. And that's the point at which democracy requires we impose a tax of 99.9%.

Polling these last two weeks is very clear that Trump has not only lost the argument about ICE, he's also lost it on mass deportation. Country wants him to focus on the criminals and leave the rest of us alone. From new Yahoo/YouGov: www.yahoo.com/news/politic...

Some notes and some tasty Hopium fare for the long weekend.....👇 www.hopiumchronicles.com/p/some-tasty...

Ghislaine Maxwell lied on her US citizenship application. She checked the no box when asked if she had ever procured anyone for prostitution. She had been trafficking since 1994. This could get another 25 years added to her sentence. #ProudBlue#Voices4Victory #OneV1 apple.news/AWPtS2oD5QPe...

I love that for them.

Plus one.

Recently saw Bondi called "a mean girl on crack" and I think that works.

Pam Bondi is 60 years old. 60! And she acts like a teenager. Has all that botox damaged the frontal lobes of her brain?

Worthy thread.

Just noting this because I have cited the trends a lot recently: Tracking data from Civiqs now shows a plurality of the public favors abolishing ICE, with 47% in support and 46% opposed. Independents are net +5 on abolish, up from -40 a year ago substack.com/profile/4791...

Trump sent the racist video about President Obama and First Lady Obama. It wasn't a staffer. But imagine if that were true. Some unknown staffer is sending out shit on the president's social media account? And we were upset that Joe Biden signed documents with the autopen?

Just like her friend Melania.

Trump's a lame duck. Aged, weak, in decline. He regularly falls asleep in public, slurs words, has verbal glitches, suffers geriatric diseases, can't stand for more than a few minutes, doesn't remember what he said, snaps and loses his filters, and tells contradictory lies. Needs pudding & a nap.

So they want to require a passport to vote in federal elections, but they also want to make it harder for people to get a passport, which is already something that is not affordable for a lot of folks ...

Notice how the press has completely stopped those "Trump supporters in a diner still support Trump" stories that were ubiquitous in his first term?

Epstein Was in Touch With Trump Team Just Before Inauguration newrepublic.com/post/206556/... via @newrepublic.com

Massie needs to go ahead and declare that he's an Independent who will caucus with the Dems.

The Trump Admin is issuing subpoenas to social media platforms, including Bluesky, demanding personal details of anyone who criticizes DHS's reign of terror in American cities. Don't like CBP killing Americans on the street? You name is added to Trump's list for retribution. I'm certainly there.

Don't renew it at all

In 2016, "Jane Doe" accused Trump and Epstein of raping her at 13 at Epstein's Manhattan parties. Two sworn witnesses. She tried to go public. Death threats. Case dropped days before the election. Now the files list Trump with "knowledge of defendant's sexual desire for minor girls" Reopen case.

What a corrupt, criminal mess👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼

So… let me get this straight… Howard Lutnick took his CHILDREN to Epstein Island AFTER Epstein was convicted of sex crimes AND lied to the American people about it? Time for him to go.

RFK Jr. is dangerous for families and I won’t stop talking about it. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

In the past year, Trump has promised... -$5000 stimulus checks via "DOGE dividend" -$2000 stimulus checks via "tariff dividend" -$1000+ checks via "savings" from expiring ACA subsidies So far, no checks have materialized. www.thebulwark.com/p/trump-magi...

Trump's masked thugs immediately labelled Renee Good and Alex Pretti as “domestic terrorists.” Now this. All they do is lie. ICE might be leaving Minnesota, but it’s time for accountability and reform.

Thune's pretty darn bad at this negotiation and compromising stuff.

Why, did he want to eat one?

The DOJ has been spying on Members of Congress who are viewing the Epstein files. It’s all part of the corruption and cover up led by the White House. Pam Bondi needs to be held in contempt and fired, and all the files must be released, NOW.

Can Lutnik explain any reason to bring children to Epstein's island other than to groom them?

The more we learn about the attack on Marimar Martinez, the worse it gets: Greg Bovino actually THANKED the agent who shot a U.S. citizen five times. This agency is rotten from top to bottom and should absolutely be held accountable.

We must never normalize these ongoing attacks by DHS agents on the people they supposedly protect. Trump, Vance, Miller, & Noem have created a culture of impunity that has led to rampant abuse and killings. Not one more dime for this lawlessness.

Just heard Mike Johnson referred to as SPINO, Speaker in Name Only, and I am stealing that.

I remember Hillary getting shit from both sides for saying, truthfully, that some Trump supporters were racists. Trump calls all Democrats "slimeballs," and . . . crickets.

Trump can lie all he wants, but he doesn’t get to rewrite reality. Republicans allowed health care premiums to double for millions of Americans. Now families have to choose: Put food on the table or pay for their health care. This is what the Republican Party did.

Examples of "the best government that money can buy" are becoming more depressing. Ohio Republican Senator Jon Husted accepted more than $115,000 in campaign contributions from Les Wexner, one of 6 people listed as Epstein's co-conspirators, and then voted against releasing the Epstein files.

Donald Trump Is seriously, mentally compromised. It is obvious to everyone. We are miles past the Drunk Uncle Phase. And deep into Looney Tunes.

Unconscious sexism has real world results.
