Someone please explain to me how every single major media report about Trump and MBS does not start with an explicit statement that the two men are now officially business associates in multiple Trump Organization developments in Saudi Arabia, making any meeting about profit as much as anything else

I have proof Trump’s new “investigation” into the Epstein files is a smokescreen to protect the perpetrators. I’ll show you today at Noon PT/3 PM ET over st @meidastouch.com youtube.com/live/49HUqKI...

He’s gone after Massie and MTG tonight. Are Mace and Boebert next?

FYI Epstein document searchers: “McGyver” is a nickname for Trump.

"300 agents stormed the building, rappelled from a helicopter, knocked down doors and hurled flash-bang grenades. Agents ziptied and detained many US citizens for hours..." Prosecutors have not filed a *single* criminal charge against anyone arrested that night: www.propublica.org/article/chic...

I thought the Brits learned that appeasement doesn’t work after Munich in 1938.

Release the Trump-Epstein files.

This article about black women in punk and punk-adjacent spaces put me in mind of Pauline Black of The Selecter, one of the top second-wave ska bands. Overshadowed by male-dominated bands like The Specials and The Beat, their sound was defined by Black's strong vocals and a very punky affect.

Fact.

Today was oil removal from the left eye, and buckle insertion. Oil was inserted a year ago after the simultaneous dual retina detachment, to act as a ballast as the retina healed. Gas bubble was inserted today as temporary stabilizer, and will be absorbed over the next few weeks. Fun times.

The Epstein files released today did not come from the DOJ's Epstein Files. They came from Epstein's estate. Pam Bondi is still protecting Trump at all costs. Today's release by Democrats was aimed at undermining her efforts. And to make it harder for Donald to pardon Ghislaine Maxwell.

Amendment which strikes section which “allows senators who were legally subpoenaed during the January 6 criminal conspiracy investigation to get millions of dollars deposited into their bank accounts at taxpayer expense” voted down by Republicans

A legislative package that appears on track to end the longest government shutdown in U.S. history leaves out any clear resolution on the expiring Affordable Care Act tax credits that have made private health insurance less costly for millions of Americans. https://to.pbs.org/3XksAz5

A reminder - last March, republicans promised to restore $1.1B in funding to DC in exchange for funding the government, and Mike Johnson never took it up in the House.

Hey Senate Dems, mike johnson said last week he WOULD NOT promise a vote on tax credits!!! Do you know what a bill the passes the senate but doesn't pass the house is called? It's called NOTHING! The republicans wont even hang the January 6th plaque (which is already law) They played you.

There's an unexpected bit of melancholy in my soul tonight. Goodnight, Jefferson. You will be missed, my friend. Godspeed. Hail the Traveler.

BUT THE MILITARY DOESN’T HAVE ANY FOOD

“More and more cabinet members — Rubio, Miller, Noem — live on military bases now, & it's another parallel to Iraq, where the administration lived in the Green Zone. There’s something deeply unhealthy about a society where leaders are literally shut off from the communities that they govern.”

Germany is feeding US military members & their families while we starve them to protect a malignant narcissist child rapist. I love the smell of American greatness in the morning. #SNAP #GOPShutdown #RemoveTrump CALL YOUR GOP REPS AND ASK WHY THEY HATE OUR MILITARY: 202-224-3121

MAGA folks are claiming that Trump can’t fund SNAP even if he wants to because it’s against the law. First, no it’s not. Second, he’s a 34 time convicted felon. He was found liable for sexual assault. He’s been murdering people in the Caribbean. Don’t pretend he cares about the law.

Corruption all over Trumps regime

After voting to give billionaires tax breaks and making health care more expensive, Derrick Van Orden has refused to hold a town hall to talk to the voters he works for in a face-to-face conversation. So, I'm heading to Wisconsin to help give the people he's supposed to represent a voice.

This isn't the easiest time to be Jewish in America. But now—and for a long time—it's been significantly harder to be Muslim. Barring Jews from government was one of the Nazis' signature moves. Every American Jew has an obligation to speak out against the new Nazis trying to do the same to Muslims.

I will never forgive Musk for trying to pervert the meaning of 'grok'.

BREAKING: Colorado voters approved a ballot measure that would raise state income taxes on higher-earning households to fund free meals for all public school students. Follow AP for live updates.

Our message to Andrew Cuomo was loud & clear in June. It’s louder & clearer tonight.

What we know, final edition of the night: [Now in 3 parts] —Prop 50 wins —VA Dems flip Gov, LG, AG —Dems gain leg seats in VA, NJ, & MS —Dems defend NJ-Gov —Dems win NJ+VA trifectas —Mamdani wins —PA Dems win state supreme court —ME anti-mail voting measure loses —GA Dems flip 2 statewide offices

I listened to several younger Democrats running for office in Iowa last weekend, and I’m telling you, Iowa and other states in the heartland have had enough. 2026 is going to be hard on Republicans, which is why they are going to try to limit voting. Pay attention.

Good. I hope he does well, and I hope his constituency fights for him with the same vigor and fierceness that he fights for them.

For realsies.

Much like every other instance where someone says they have a healthcare plan but won't disclose it... there is no plan. If there was an actual plan, they would be actively using it for PR right now.

If true, this is embarrassing to the 🍊 abomination.

Let them eat shit

Two Illinois Guardsmen claim to have sworn an oath over orders, stating that they will not turn on their city

... Because of course they did...

I'm sure Lord Vulvamort the Shitgibbon will find some compliant/complicit sycophants to appoint, if not those already fluffing and/or in the pay to play camp.

This is the guy who lied on the stand at a trial in LA, telling the jury he witnessed the defendant assault the ICE officer, when the video showed the ICE officer assault the defendant. The jury took an hour to acquit. He's referred to immigrants as "filth, trash, and scum."
