Former CIA officer John Kiriakou says roughly 10,000 JFK assassination-related documents remain hidden from the public because, according to him, they point toward Israeli involvement in his assassination. The files still have not been fully released.

Apparently, we have learned nothing from what happened in Flint. Every person involved in these centers should be forced to drink that water, and so should their families.

Besides the full Epstein Files, look at what else Trump is hiding:

The DOJ is now 153 days overdue to release the Epstein files.

What a difference losing a primary makes

Good morning and happy Thursday to everyone. Fat Satan has only three goals. Stay out of prison. Enrich himself. Spread hate. Just because he's a pedophile doesn’t make it any less true.

🔥 Massie going hard at Ted Cruz

The Colorado Democratic Party just voted overwhelmingly to censure disgraceful traitor Jared Polis for corruptly granting clemency to seditious criminal MAGA election fraudster Tina Peters. Good, they should also impeach him for defrauding his constituents, he can’t be trusted.

Lest there be any doubt re: the lawsuit filed by law enforcement officers challenging the Trump slush fund to reward insurrectionists and paramilitary goons... THESE TWO ARE THE HEROS:

Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio says he is making a claim for $2-5 million in taxpayer money from Trump’s criminal slush fund. www.reuters.com/legal/govern...

The wannabe king won’t be getting his billion-dollar ballroom as part of the MAGA spending bill.

NEW: The $1B ballroom provision has been STRIPPED from the Republican budget bill.

The Emperor's new clothes are truly magnificant.

F trump Everyone apply I was traumatized on January 6 I want to be compensated

Take a breath. Now read it slowly. Move your lips as you read if it helps: 1) A Republican legislator broke with his party to demand information be made public about which rich and powerful men fucked children. 2) Republican allies spent $30 million to make him stop it. 3) Voters stopped him.

Thomas Massie: “Today is the six month anniversary of the Epstein Transparency Act. We’ve taken out two dozen CEOs, an ambassador, a prince, a prime minister, a minister of culture, that was just six months. I’ve got seven months left in Congress.” video courtesy @acyn.bsky.social

Congratulations again to all of the legal and media elites who tried to pass of this fifth-rate reactionary as some kind of moral sage

MSM, some quick notes: 1. It’s not a settlement (the case was dismissed). 3. It’s not a ballroom (it’s a bunker). 3. It’s not a library (Trump said it will be a hotel). It matters that you get it right.

Every official who participated in this corrupt DOJ process should face termination or impeachment, followed by a full criminal referral for prosecution. Public trust demands consequence.

(Punchbowl) - Senate GOP leaders are facing a serious — and potentially insurmountable — procedural hurdle as they try to get security funding for the East Wing ballroom into their reconciliation bill. @punchbowlnews.bsky.social punchbowl.news/article/sena...

Thankful to @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social for welcoming me into his office in DC for an important conversation about the urgency of protecting our democracy. While the GOP looks out for wealthy oligarchs, we're putting the needs of working people at the forefront of our fight.
