DOJ ID’d VICTIMS, NOT BAD GUYS A group of Jeffrey Epstein survivors filed a class-action lawsuit against the Trump administration, claiming the Justice Dept. outed them and exposed them to threats and targeting. The suit also named Google for revealing their personal details. [HuffPost]

MINNESOTA SUES TRUMP ADMIN. This week, Minnesota sued the Trump administration, including Pam Bondi and Kristi Noem, for withholding and removing evidence regarding the deaths of US citizens Rene Good and Alex Pretti. [Washington Post]

TRUMP IS STILL GOING DOWN Trump‘s approval rating has sunk to 36% with no sign of stopping - the worst in U.S. presidential history.

TRUMP LOST IN HIS OWN BACKYARD! Democrat Emily Gregory, a first-time candidate, defeated Trump-backed Republican Jon Maples in a special election for State Rep. for District 87. Trump previously won this district by 11 points. His Mar-a-Lago home in Palm Beach is in the district. [BBC]

ARE THEY GOING TO WEAR MASKS? Trump has ordered Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents to work at airports to “assist” TSA agents as part of a plan devised by the Trump administration during the government shutdown. The legality of this move is questioned, but when did that stop Trump?

TRUMP HAS NO CLASS

IT’S WORSE THAN WE THOUGHT Investigations have revealed evidence, indicating that, in addition to prostitution and trafficking, Jeffrey Epstein was engaged in large scale drug trafficking. The Obama administration was investigating but, when Trump became president, the investigation disappeared.

TRUMP V. TALARICO Donald Trump called James Talarico an “insult to Jesus.” Talarico responded, “You want to know what insults Jesus? * Kicking the sick off their health care while cutting taxes for billionaires. * Deporting the stranger and separating babies from their mothers.”

THE PRICES ARE SIMPLY TOO HIGH A new survey shows around 2 million Americans have lost health insurance after Congress let federal subsidies for Affordable Care Act plans expire following last year’s government shutdown battle. [HuffPost]

“It takes money to kill bad guys.” That’s what Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth said to justify his recent request of $200 billion to fund the Iran war. Why isn’t he asking Congress instead of Trump? Has Congress completely acquiesced its powers to Trump?

WE’VE ALREADY SPENT 11 BILLION! The Pentagon reported to Congress that the U.S. has already spent $11 billion on the Iran War. The Iran regime remains in control. Predictably, oil prices are going up and Trump has no plan on how to end the war he started. Did he think this out at all?

MESSAGE TO FIRED KRISTY NOEM: Ill. Gov. J.B. Pritzker said, “Hey, Kristi Noem, don’t let the door hit you on the way out. Here’s your legacy: corruption and chaos. Parents and children tear-gassed. Moms and nurses, U.S. citizens getting shot in the face.

IT COULDN’T HAPPEN TO A MEANER DOG KILLER

TRUMP V. THE AMERICAN PEOPLE As Trump struggles to explain why he attacked Iran, giving at least five different reasons to five different reporters, the American people are having none of it. In fact, 59% of Americans disapprove of the U.S. taking military action in Iran.

“SEND BARRON!” 3 US servicemen were killed & 5 were seriously wounded due to the Iran bombings. Trump responded, “We expect casualties with something like this.” This seems callous from someone who worked so hard to avoid military service. Now there is a growing social media push to “Send Barron.”

OPERATION EPSTEIN FURY Without consulting Congress, Trump attacked Iran, hitting a girls’ school and killing 118 students. He admits he planned it for 6 months. Then he waited until Congress was on break. Trump calls it “Epic Fury.” We call it “Operation Epstein Fury.” It’s another distraction.

TRUMP ATTACKS IRAN Trump seems determined to start WWIII. (Is this another distraction from the Epstein files?) Human rights groups claim the strike killed 7,000+ Iranians, and 40 of those were children attending an Iranian girls school. And, once again, Trump failed to consult Congress.

WHAT TRUMP DID NOT SAY Trump‘s State of the Union Address will be remembered more for what he did NOT say than for what he said. Trump ignored and failed to mention the many survivors of the Epstein scandal sitting in the chamber. He also failed to mention the 2 Americans killed by ICE.

WOMEN’S HOCKEY TEAM DECLINES TRUMP’S WHITE HOUSE INVITATION Both the women’s and men’s U.S. hockey teams won the gold, but Trump called to congratulate the men’s team and joked that he would “have to invite the women” too. The women were not amused, and they politely declined his invitation.

ONLY THE BEST FOR PRINCESS NOEM

VOTE! The voter turnout in the Dallas County Democratic Primary has doubled from 2022 and 2024. Are more Democrats voting or are Republicans switching over? Republicans are welcome. We are all Americans.

LIMITS TO TRUMP’S AUTHORITY On 8/26/25, Trump declared “I have the right to do anything I want to do.”However, on 2/20/36, the US Supreme Court declared that Trump did not have the authority to impose tariffs, which are taxes, which only Congress can impose. Trump did not take it well.

ROBIN HOOD V. THE SHERIFF OF NOTTINGHAM The U.S. Supreme Court has struck down Trump’s tariffs. Thank Heavens, he will not be able to continue manipulating the global economy by his haphazard, retaliatory tariffs. Trump was naïve to think he could charge other countries without them retaliating.

WHY WON’t THE U.S. STEP UP? If England can arrest a member of the royal family for his Epstein crimes, then why can’t the U.S. arrest a president, a Cabinet member, and all the rich guys who raped young girls? Is it because Trump fired all the Justice Dept. attorneys who would have filed charges?

ABANDON SHIP! 5,000 attorneys have resigned, retired or been fired from the Justice Dept. in the first year of. Trump's second administration. The large-scale purge – with both voluntary and involuntary departures – has gutted the agency of its institutional memory and long experience. [CBS News]

FROM YOUR LIPS TO GOD’S EARS! Piers Morgan predicts Trump will become a ‘Lame Duck’ after the 2026 midterms.

TRUMP IS LOSING EPSTEIN BATTLE An Economist/YouGov poll released Tuesday shows that 85% of U.S. adults agree with the statement “There are powerful elites who helped Epstein target and abuse young girls. They protected him and need to be investigated.”

STUDENTS V. GOV. ABBOTT This week, hundreds of North Texas students walked out of school to protest ICE. Governor Abbott went berserk, threatening consequences, most of which he had no authority to carry out. Abbott should take heed: The majority of Texan voters oppose ICE!

VOTERS ARE REJECTING MAGA It’s pretty amazing that Democrats are winning Republican districts in Texas and Louisiana. When do you think Trump will realize he is losing ground?

ARREST NOW, VERIFY LATER Trump’s new policy: Hold noncitizens, including children, in detention centers with no right to release until deported. Currently over 70,000 immigrants are held in 224 facilities in the U.S., and ICE will not provide “dialysis, prenatal care, oncology, or chemotherapy.

YES. J.D., IT’S PERSONAL! In Milan, Usha and JD Vance were booed when they appeared at the opening ceremony of the Olympics. However, the Team USA athletes were greeted with applause.

POST, LIE, ADMIT, DOUBLE DOWN In response to public outrage over Trump’s post, depicting Barack and Michelle Obama as apes, Trump defended the post, then blamed a staffer. That night, Trump admitted he posted the images himself, but he refused to apologize saying, “No, I didn’t make a mistake.”

PROPOSAL TO CLIP WINGS OF ICE Democrats announced they will block ICE funding unless ICE: * uses warrants; * stops wearing masks; * displays names, agencies, & ID #s; * ends raids of medical sites, courts, schools, childcare sites, churches, & polling places; and * is subject to murder charges.

TRUMP IS THE STAR OF THE FILES Last week, the Department of Justice released millions of pages of the infamous Epstein files. The files mention President Donald Trump thousands of times. [Source: HuffPost]

WHAT’S GOOD FOR THE GOOSE … After Texas added 5 Republican congressional districts at Trump‘s direction, Republicans went to the U.S. Supreme Court to prevent California from doing the same for Democrats. The Supremes sided with the Democrats. What’s fair is fair. [Source: AP]

WEIRD TO BE ON SAME SIDE AS MTG Marjorie Taylor Greene Says MAGA 'Was All a Lie' and Claims Trump Is Only Serving 'Big, Big Donors' The former Rep. congresswoman suggests that baby boomers are the most "brainwashed generation."

IS TRUMP’S GOAL A WHITE NATION? Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem terminated protections for 600,000 Venezuelans, 350,000 Haitians, 160,000 Ukrainians, 60,000 from Honduras, Nicaragua & Nepal, and thousands from Afghanistan and Cameroon. The next step is deportations and/or federal lawsuits.

DEMS FLIP A FORT WORTH SEAT! Veteran Taylor Rehmet defeated a MAGA Republican in a special election for a Texas Senate position. No Democrat has held the seat since 1991 and, in the last presidential election, Trump won the district by 17 points. The times they are a-changing’.

BOY RETURNED! The 5-year-old boy transferred by ICE from MN to TX has been returned. His family was here legally! Federal Judge Fred Biery called the fiasco an “ill-conceived and incompetent government pursuit of daily deportation quotas, apparently even if it requires traumatizing children,"

LET IT GO! The FBI has seized the Fulton County, GA voter rolls & 2020 election ballots. Just 5 years earlier, Trump tried (unsuccessfully) to get the Georgia Secretary of State to “find” 11,780 votes. Is this payback or is Trump just obsessed about losing in 2020?

ANTI-ICE SONG: Bruce Springsteen just released his new song, “Streets of Minneapolis,” criticizing “Trump's federal thugs” and “Miller and Noem's dirty lies.” It’s the 21st century protest song and it is inspirational.

RUMOR HAS IT We are told that, this week, after the second murder of a U.S. citizen, ICE agents will start leaving Minneapolis. Meanwhile, all signs indicate that Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem is about to be thrown under the bus. After all, Trump has to blame someone.

IT’S ALL ABOUT THE VOTES After the murders of Renee, Good and Alex Pretti by ICE agents, protests have increased, senators have demanded investigations, and Republican elected officials have openly discussed their concern that they will lose the midterm elections.

DO REPUBLICANS NOW REGRET CALLING CLINTON TO TESTIFY?

WHAT’S HE YELLING ABOUT NOW? A federal judge is questioning Trump’s authority to destroy the East Wing of the White House to build his “big beautiful ballroom.” Trump is outraged and is now making his argument, not in court, but on social media. By the way, where are the Epstein files?

PAXTON IS STILL OUTRAGEOUS Our twice-indicted Texas AG Ken Paxton issued an opinion that Islamic and Chinese American private schools can be blocked from the Texas voucher system. What’s next? All women schools? Majority minority schools? Stop him by voting for his opponent.

ICE KILLS ANOTHER CITIZEN The murdered man has been identified as Alex Pretti, a 37-year-old ICU nurse. He was a “peaceful observer” who was recording the activities of ICE agents. Witnesses report that, at the time he was shot, there were 6-8 agents on top of him.

iCE DETAINS 5-YEAR-OLD. TRUMP MUST BE SO PROUD. ICE grabbed a 5-year-old in Minnesota as he walked home from school and took him to a facility in Texas. Photos show the child wearing a blue hat with bunny ears and carrying a Spider-Man backpack as he's led to an SUV in the snow. [HuffPost]
