🧵Timothy Mellon just gave Trump $130 million to pay the military. He is heir to the Mellon fortune. A lawsuit was filed last week, Oct 16, against the Bank of Mellon for aiding Epstein's operations. Mellon has now ponied up to Trump.

I haven’t seen anyone talk about how Jane Doe - an Epstein survivor - just sued the Bank of New York Mellon for funding Epstein and failing to file a Suspicious Activity Report. A Mellon heir is the one who gave $130M to pay the troops. Seems bribey to me.

The knives are out for Jay from his former allies. He rose high enough to become part of the conspiracy. That’s his future now.

Republicans say they like fascism and Democrats say that they are against it. The truth is more complicated.

Serious question: does there come a point where everyone admits that Constitutional originalism is just a made-up vibe-based philosophy that gives Republican judges a pretext for ruling however it is that Republicans want them to rule?

Hard to compete with this.

When Trump refused to send the National Guard on Jan 6, 2021 to stop rioters who stormed the Capitol, wounded 140 officers, and tried to block the transfer of power, he set his standard. Anything LESS than those bloody insurrectionary riots won’t trigger Guard deployment. Right?

The reason we're rounding up grandmothers and shoving them onto concrete floors for months at a time with no habeas corpus is in part because soft human trafficking is an incredibly lucrative business for some people in this administration.

Makary claims, with no credible basis, that leucovorin "may help 50-60% of kids with autism." Working as a Trump health official should be a permanent discrediting stain. These people are sycophantic frauds complicit in enormous harm to US public health and global public health.
