If you told me in 2021 after J6 that one day Trump would have a $1.776 billion slush fund of taxpayer $$ to hand out to his fellow insurrectionists who committed a heinous crime against America, I wouldn’t have believed it. But the story of Trump has always been a crime story with many accomplices.

While everyone's watching Hormuz, the Epstein files are being buried. The law says release them. Trump is fighting it. Massie may lose his seat Tuesday for pushing it. And now a $1.7B slush fund for Jan 6 defendants? Don't go quiet. open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...

Ohio State’s many scandals may have all been connected. Jeffrey Epstein gave $2.5 million to OSU athletics. Sexual abuser Richard Strauss had OSU athletes pose for photos. Those same athletes would then get employment from Leslie Wexner, Jeffrey Epstein’s close pal.

Gas prices hit an average of $4.45 a gallon over the weekend, according to AAA. That's a 30-cent rise in the past week, and up $1.28 from this time last year.

This is profoundly dangerous. Trump is trying to recast political opposition not only as a betrayal of the country but also as potentially criminal.

Trump: “Ukraine has nothing to do [with us], we‘re an ocean apart. It has to do with [Europe], it‘s their front door.“ Ukraine to U.S.: Approx 5,266 to 5,690 miles. Iran to U.S.: Approx 7,150 to 7,244 miles.

Trump’s Golden Age: Home foreclosures jumped 26% in the first three months of this year. Trump-voting red states get hit the worst. No surprise there. #trendingreels #Foryou #economy #Homeforeclosures

Jimmy Kimmel responds to the Trumps: "It was a very light roast joke about the fact that he's almost 80 and she's younger than I am. It was not by any stretch of the definition a call to assassination. And they know that."

This is exactly the stuff the press corps should have asked about at the president's presser and the WH briefing today when they cast criticism of him as violent rhetoric. The question did not come up once.

Karoline Leavitt is going on paid maternity leave—something millions of American women don’t have access to because the Republican Party’s stance is that paid maternity leave should not be universally guaranteed.

I want to live in a country where: - the president isn‘t a fascist - the political media don’t collaborate with fascism - political violence and mass shootings aren’t a regular occurrence - there is a democratic method to depose the head of state if they’re a corrupt, demented pedo

Saturday was the one-year anniversary of Virginia Guiffre’s death. The Epstein survivors aren’t done fighting, but it takes public support to fuel their work. Don’t let the effort to distract work on you. Read & share: open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

Which ear are we taping this time?

I’d rather hear details about this incident from legitimate law enforcement than from the most notorious liar in American politics.

Trump wasted no time in turning the shooting into an advertisement for his ballroom.

One of the most prominent promoters of violence in our world is the president of the United States.

PS. Don’t know who needs to hear this, but it’s not Trump’s dinner, nor is it his decision, to reschedule…

What Corporate media refuses to note is that a gunman getting into a venue where the President and VP are sitting on the dais is a MASSIVE security failure by the Trump regime. But if they report it was a Trump failure then Trump takes away their access.

Exactly

Every day the Trump DOJ continues to violate the Epstein Files Transparency Act. If *you* violated a federal law, you’d be in trouble. Why isn’t the Trump DOJ being held to account for breaking the law?

The only time when the Trump regime isn't lying and stealing is when it's busy covering up its lying and stealing.

More market manipulation

The Trump regime is promoting white-power fascism worldwide. That's why JD Vance is in Hungary.

The Art of the Steal

The fact that Donald Trump didn’t follow through on his threats of committing genocide doesn’t mean we should move on from the fact that he threatened to commit genocide.
