Follow this thread. Most likely, and of course, all speculation right now, this is why Melania did her 6 min statement today. Amanda Ungaro was brought here as a 17-year-old model. She flew to NYC on Epstein's private plane. 1/2

Melania Trump has the worst approval rating of any modern First Lady, just like her husband. Her -12 approval rating shows the people really “Don’t care” for her or her husband who is at only 31%. #ProudBlue#Voices4Victory #OneV1 www.thedailybeast.com/cnn-data-gur...

Einstein Visa? Or Epstein Visa?

Translation: they are doing it. finance.yahoo.com/economy/poli...

Melania Trump: The lies linking me with Jeffrey Epstein need to end today. I've never been friends with Epstein. I never had a relationship with Epstein or his accomplice, Maxwell. My email reply to Maxwell cannot be categorized as anything more than casual correspondence.

I'm not associated with Jeffrey Epstein but I'm married to Donald Trump seems like a weak defense to me. More like an admission of guilt. (And that's to say nothing of the fact that the first part of the statement is contradicted by mountains of evidence.)

I’m Team Pope Leo. And you don’t have to be a practicing Catholic to think — what the hell is wrong with the Pentagon’s mouthpiece? This is repugnant.

😕

The top 1% didn’t just get richer—they pulled away at a historic scale while the bottom half stagnated. That divergence is artificially engineered through policy: lower taxes on wealth, weaker labor protections for the working class, and rules designed to transfer wealth upward.

Congress: “We can’t afford healthcare.” Also Congress: “What if we cut healthcare to afford a war?”

Global news: progress, innovation, breakthroughs. U.S. news: “you’re not gonna believe this one…”

From a post: “Told my wife to have dinner ready by 6 or I'll obliterate her entire civilization. So anyway, she now charges me a fee to use the bathroom that used to be free, and I didn't get any dinner, but I'm pretty sure I won that exchange.”

MacFarlane: If the first lady is trying to preemptively defuse a journalistic bomb that's coming on the Epstein files, I know a lot of good PR practitioners would say: you don't defuse a bomb by calling attention to the bomb

McGowan: Can just let me speak for like one fricken second, bro? Rothman: Sorry.

Cal State Channel Islands philosophy lecturer Jonathan Caravello has just been ACQUITTED of assaulting ICE/CBP last summer while protesting a brutal Ventura County cannabis farm raid! His defense argued he threw a tear gas canister away to protect protesters. The jury acquitted him in two hours.

Finally Melania uses her God given skills to help America

If you didn’t see it coming, you weren’t paying attention. And he doesn’t have to do it formally to defy Congress, he can do it with actions that they can’t stop.

Today, @markey.senate.gov and I wrote to Secretary Burgum to oppose this administration’s decision to pay a French company nearly $1 billion to cancel offshore wind facilities off the East Coast. This administration must stop using our tax dollars to prop up the fossil fuel industry.

History is written by the winners: WHITE MEN. We are all feminists until we enter school in kindergarten and public schooling beats our love of women gets extracted from our minds. Men making all the decisions is disastrous for women and dependent children.

BREAKING: Republicans just blocked Democrats' war powers resolution to end Trump's Iran war. This reckless, unauthorized war has taken the lives of servicemembers, thousands of civilians abroad, & it's costing families here at home. And Republicans continue to be complicit.

If Pam Bondi chooses to continue this White House cover-up and not testify as mandated by law, we will hold her in contempt. The survivors deserve justice.

I really think Trump's Iran threat is a breaking point. We just learned that the GOP won't step up even when its leader threatens unthinkable war crimes and even genocide. This realization of powerlessness in the face of this madness will take a deep psychic toll. newrepublic.com/article/2087...

She did more than that. She placed pressure on Congress to allow the sworn testimony of the victims. She’s rebranding after her polling numbers are underwater

Trump wasn't given a heads-up about Melania's public announcement on Epstein. Trump distracted the nation for 6 weeks w/ a disastrous, unwinnable war in Iran. MAGA is breaking over it & failed promises. So, Melania decides to bring it back in focus by distancing herself from Epstein. Love it.

This poor woman! We need to release all the Epstein files and fully investigate all related criminal claims to exonerate her!

NEW: Republicans refuse to recognize democrats on a war powers resolution

Will the Iranian ceasefire hold? We asked four unvaccinated Andrew Tate fans at a Hooters in Panama City Beach.

There is no aspect of voting or the 2026 elections that Republicans are not attacking. This is an all out assault on democracy. My law firm and I are litigating in nearly 90 places to stop it with more to come.

@crockett.house.gov doesn’t mince words. She delivered a #CupOfJoe with a latte plain facts. #SheSaidWhatSheSaid

Release the files now! #Epstein #EpsteinFiles

⚡️ The EU is demanding answers from Hungary after leaked calls suggest the country is coordinating with Russia against European security.

LOL I said Pedro Pascal......great actor......but of course I meant Pedro Sanchez. How embarrassing.

Pope to Olympic Athletes: “It is possible to win without humiliating. One can lose without losing oneself. And this also applies beyond sport. It applies in social life, in politics, in relationships between peoples, because sport, if lived well, becomes a workshop for a reconciled humanity.”

Trump’s unjust pardons have made us less safe. Republicans in Congress who back him as he continues to defend dangerous pardoned rioters are choosing loyalty over public safety. These Rs deserve to pay a price. Our communities are not safe, and their seats are not safe. Vote them out in November!

My cat is waiting for me to get Alzheimer's so he can get wet food more than once per day...

It’s almost as if Putin put Turnip in power to destroy us from within. He must be absolutely giddy!

Very bad at the very best.

A reminder here that we were negotiating with Iran in February, with the Strait of Hormuz open and Iran not even threatening to close it. Now we’re negotiating to re-open the Strait with Iran having succeeded in closing it and with more leverage. Epic failure. newrepublic.com/article/2087...

Artemis II is a reminder of the collective optimism and wonder we experienced during the moon landing in 1969. The chaotic flight of our president is a tragic reminder of how far away from those days we are. #Trump #war #ArtemisII #space #moon #Apollo social.tinyview.com/xglBdYgrc2b
