Congressman Ted Lieu said on the record that the Epstein files are being blocked because they show Trump raped and threatened to kill children. Since tRump's lawyer, err, the acting AG is deleting files, let's make sure this 👇🏾 stays it the forefront

Iran’s official military spokesperson Ibrahim Al-Fiqar shared this AI-generated image of Donald Trump bowing before Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei with the caption “The end..”

Poverty is a policy choice. Concentrated wealth is a policy choice. Inequality is a policy choice. None of it is natural or inevitable. Remember: We have the power to build a system that serves the many, not the powerful few.

BREAKING: Gunshots were heard outside the White House moments ago, with reports estimating approximately 20-30 shots fired. Secret Service instructed members of the press present on the grounds to immediately run inside the press briefing room as the situation unfolded.

🚨NEW VIDEO: Reporter Selina Wang says she was filming this social video from the White House North Lawn when “dozens of gunshots” suddenly rang out. “We were told to sprint to the press briefing room where we are holding now,” Wang posted after the chaotic scene unfolded outside the White House.

Wow. They’re openly defending the deletion of DOJ records about a man accused in a child solicitation case who assaulted police on January 6. Truly the Epstein administration.

This administration is so corrupt… they will do anything to defend the Jan 6 insurrection.

We are very far off the cliff, folks. @CBS should be avoided entirely. Shame on them.

Morning everyone. Do you know that your President just exempted himself, his family, and all his family's companies from our tax laws? You are subject to the law. Now he is not. No one should not pretend this is okay or normal. It's an ongoing constitutional crisis.

Trump Yesterday: "I wasn't involved in the creation of [the $1.776 billion slush fund] and the negotiation." Trump Today: "I was the one who decided how much money would go into the $1.776 billion slush fund." He lies about everything.

I think it's nice that Republicans are finally waking up to Dear Leader's thievery and corruption, but where were they five years ago, when they could have made a real difference? thank you for your attention to today's post in which I rip everyone several new ones. link is here: bit.ly/4dYznYn

So is anyone keeping a running total on how much this corruption spree is supposed to be costing us? 📌$72 billion ICE expansion package 📌$1.8 billion slush fund for Trump allies claiming “persecution,” including Jan 6 rioters 📌$1 billion for Trump’s WH ballroom vanity project 🧵

It's worth noting that Anita Hill accused Clarence Thomas of sexual harassment in 1991 and in those days other women also testified that Thomas had a heavy obsession with pornography. This coincides with his appearances in the Epstein Files. Maybe we should look closer.

Exactly. #EpsteinFiles #EpsteinClass

KAT WON. FUCK ICE.

Absolute fucking morons who upturned my life for no reason. They will see justice.

McGovern: Can you explain what is happening with the Iran war powers resolution that was scheduled to be voted on this evening? Are we not voting on it because the American people are sick and tired of this illegal war that is costing tens of billions of dollars?

FLAG: Federal judges in Maine and Wisconsin just dismissed lawsuits filed by the Trump Justice Department seeking to compel the states to hand over detailed voter registration information.

Proud Boy and adjudicated terrorist Enrique Tarrio tells @emptywheel.bsky.social “Just pay your taxes so I can enjoy your money. Get fucked, ho.”

AOC: This is what drinking water in Georgia looks like after Meta began data center construction in the community.

Damn shame usa doesn't live in a real democracy anymore.

Rep. Ted Lieu slams the nearly $1.8B taxpayer-funded slush fund as "completely unethical & totally ridiculous." He warns Acting AG Todd Blanche will lose his law license for this behavior. Call your members of Congress & tell them HELL NO! 📞 202-224-3121

MAJOR bullshit alert.

Mississippi called a special session TODAY to erase the only Black congressman in this state. Mississippi residents showed up. All of them. On their doorstep. In their streets. To show them what they're fighting against. ✊🏼 #mississippi #democracy

You Go Jasmine Crockett 👏🏻......

ICE body-cam footage shows agents violently forced workers out of a van called an ‘unlawful’ arrest by Judge. Atty: footage illustrated ICE’s “arrest first, justify later” & praised MJMA for calmly defending her rights: “She knew the law better than the agents.” www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Every American should be disgusted by this.

NYT: In the middle of the lunch, Trump called RFK Jr and Dr. Oz and told them he wanted the regulation lifted. Trump’s FDA Commissioner then resigned in protest. Things like this are happening every day. RFK Jr is a total fraud.

Tonight we congratulate our friend Stephen Colbert and his writers, staff and crew for eleven years of excellence. Watch Colbert’s finale tonight, and then never watch CBS again.

Left- IDF steals a 10 year old boys bicycle in the West Bank. Such evil creatures. Middle and Right- Israelis murder people trying to help injured man.....middle before bomb....right after the bomb.

Trump & Blanche’s heist of $1.8 billion to hand out to their supporters who committed crimes must not be a 1-2 day story. It should be talked about every day until it is stopped. Republicans should be asked about it every interview. Trump should be asked about it every day.

Disturbing new video posted by Israeli Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir shows him taunting detained pro-Palestinian flotilla activists being held in horrifying conditions. In the footage, Ben-Gvir can be seen shouting at the handcuffed activists while appearing to gloat over their detention.

We will get accountability.

MeidasTouch: What do you make of this $1.776 billion fund— Gavin Newsom: It’s a criminal enterprise. It’s not just corruption, it’s not just graft, it’s a full-on criminal enterprise and it needs to be shut down.

REUTERS: “Enrique Tarrio, Proud Boys leader sentenced ‌to 22 years for seditious conspiracy over the January 6, 2021 riot, said he planned to get between $2 & $5 million.” We are so far off the cliff. 🇺🇸 www.reuters.com/legal/govern...

NEW: The Colorado Democratic Party has formally condemned and censured Governor Jared Polis for granting clemency to Tina Peters. Polis is hereby banned from speaking or being honored at party events. 90% of CDP central committee members voted to reprimand Polis.

Please send this message to Schumer and Jeffries. Call them. Keep calling all your reps and senators and ask them to impeach AND introduce legislation to dissolve this fund.

Thomas Massie has more than half a year left in Congress. I'm looking forward to what he can accomplish.

🇺🇸TRUMP: “I paused a U.S. strike on Iran because Gulf leaders asked for more time to negotiate.” Gulf officials Today: “We didn’t know about any imminent U.S. attack.” TRUMP HAS BECOME A LAUGHING STOCK😂🤡

The Fourteenth Amendment, written in the blood of the Civil War, says in Section 4 that this is blatantly illegal: “[N]either the United States nor any State shall assume or pay any debt or obligation incurred in aid of insurrection or rebellion against the United States.”

NEW: Months before the $1.8 billion “anti-weaponization” fund was announced, Ed Martin predicted Capitol rioters would get millions, even if it took until 2028, two people told NBC News.

A government of shallow, glib sociopaths striving to get an "Attaboy" from other shallow, glib sociopaths.

SIGN OF THE DAY…

Testify at a Senate hearing today, Todd Blanche told Senator Chris Van Hollen he's met with Epstein survivors and their lawyers. Within hours, 18 Epstein survivors released a joint statement contradicting AAG Todd Blanche's testimony, directly accusing him of making false claims. I believe them.

Shapiro: Somehow, he can’t find the money to pay for healthcare, but he can steal from you to pay off the criminals who stormed the Capitol.
